I wrote this for the Blumhouse competition :) The idea behind the story: A woman visits her father with her young daughter. Since being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, he has been living out in the forest. Once a week a nurse will visit him, but otherwise he is completely secluded, and cut off from the world. His daughter, and granddaughter notice the changes in him, as he begins to lose himself more and more. One night while staying in their rooms, three twisted monsters show up and attack them. After looking further into these demons, the man's daughter finds out that the woods are blessed by the will of fairies, and wishes, dreams, and memories can take physical manifestation. She comes to the realization that the monsters are a physical manifestation of his warped memories of their last moments together as a family, and reconciles with him. The story would end on a good note, if I were to write the whole thing out.

David's life takes a terrifying turn when his memory begins to fail him, leaving him trapped in a cycle of déjà vu and forgotten moments.

What begins as unsettling repetition slowly reveals a deeper, hidden trauma lurking beneath the surface, a secret that may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of David's fractured reality.
