In the retirement home, they give each resident a Memory Assistant—a small obsidian pebble that warms to skin temperature. When you hold it, it whispers fragments of your life back to you. Mrs. Chen keeps getting someone else's summers—picnics she never attended, a red bicycle she never owned. She's begun to suspect the device isn't recovering memories so much as composing them from available data: the smell of cut grass from the facility's lawn, the sound of her daughter's voice on weekly calls, the photograph of a stranger's vacation that appeared in her feed last Tuesday. Yesterday she found herself crying at a memory of teaching her nonexistent daughter to ride that red bicycle, the moment so precise she could feel the training wheels wobble against her palm.
