Michael and Mira

Imagine a future society where memories are money.

For Michael, it's his reality. Memories are money, and he wasn't born rich. Those who don't have enough money have to live off of monthly government rations. If lower-class living is the price of keeping his memories then so be it. He already has nothing, so he will never let go of the only thing he has.

For Mira, it was her reality. Mira is lucky. Her family's rich. But she doesn't remember ever having to give up her memories. Her dying grandparents did that for her family and continue to do so. Even though Mira has money, something's missing, something she can't quite remember. No amount of money can fill that emptiness within her.

Is Michael's reality worth it? Is Mira's reality her truth? In a world where memories are lost so easily, not much is as it seems.
