nice work. the death of memory would be like a leprosy of the mind. makes you imagine what your own day to day would go like if the fog crept in.... sinister.😎

trying to read all of them... honestly the quality, the standard, is incredible. whole lot should be gathered and printed

I agree! I’ve been working my way through them too and I’d love to have them bound

"She could not recall forgetting to recall that she had a bed" - A great line which recreates the vortex of forgetting and all its repercussions and rippling unremembrances.

Nice tight story, very enjoyable indeed.

Really enjoyed how you pushed the story forward through interesting visuals: trash piling up around the city, pets scratching at the doors, etc. Great story!

Vieux — such a subtle thing to use the French word for “old.” Memory of everything (not remembering what to do during a fire was my favorite) being not-so-slowly eaten is a really great premise. Expertly constructed and torn apart. So great!

loved the concept and how it's formatted as a diary. "we must keep the fog out by any means necessary" is my mantra for the day
