I’m standing on my legs. I’m in control. “I’m in control!” I scream at the top of my lungs, from pure joy and skull-shattering pain. My name is Martyn Inn-Thuh Littlewood. I was poisoned by The Hatter and enchanted by The Nightmare. I can hear everything again, sounds unmuted for the first time in years. Footsteps running down the hallway towards the room Pearl and Joel put me in. The door slamming open feels like it’s shattering my ears. Pearl is there, along with Joel, Scott, Bigb, Gem, Tango, and Ren. All of them look hopeful, Ren especially. FORGET. The word hammers my mind so hard that I fall to my knees. The headache multiplies tenfold. FORGET EVERYTHING. FORGET IT ALL. “No! I won’t-” I grit my teeth and stifle a pained shriek. The aching increases again, it feels like my head is exploding while being stabbed thousands of times. “-do it. I won’t forget!” FORGET EVERYTHING. Maybe, maybe it’s better if I forget. It hurts less. YES. FORGET. It’s too hard to remember. It hurts too much. I think I’ll just forget again. That sounds less painful. I wheeze, shaking with the effort of trying not to fall over. I can feel the shadow beginning to cover my memories again as the pain begins to ebb away. “I’m going away again, I think- It’s- It’s just easier to forget. It hurts less.” I say, my connection to my voice weak, my vision hazy. Someone is holding my hand. I look, mind clouded, and find Ren. Ren is holding my hand. “Don’t leave again. You’ve got ta fight it, don’t’cha know. You’ve got ta fight it.” He whispers, his eyes meeting mine, tears slipping down his cheeks “It hurts. It hurts to remember.” I whisper. Just talking to him triggers a fresh wave of pain. “It hurts more ta lose ya.” He whispers back. Something in me snaps. I push myself to remember until the pain feels like it’s going to split my skull apart. I don’t scream, but I do fall to the ground completely. The world begins to darken. It hurts. It hurts like nothing ever hurt before in my life. But it could never hurt as much as losing the people I care about.
