April 6th 2018 was a special day, we need to remember that day. As a Canadian person I think it's important to remember those tragedies, next time you will make a donation for one of those foundations, (Humboldtstrong, Adam Herold Legacy etc.) you will really know the whole story behind. You will understand better what these people have been through.
That's the proof that hockey is a tight sport, a team is a team.
-BASED ON A REAL STORY-
Everything written in theses chapters is based on research on that tragedy.

Forget Me Not
"What is wrong with you, Memphis? What the hell happened?" "I don't know, Houston. Stop asking me so many questions." "You aren't supposed to remember my name. You aren't supposed to remember anything. Where do the Sabres play? When did our eight week old kitten get killed? Did the Bruins beat the Canadiens last week? What did our father die from?" "Uh...the Sabres play at KeyBank Center. As for Elliot, he died on June 6, 2042. The B's fell to the Habs 4-1 in Montreal last week, and our father was hit by a car. What do you want, Houston? Why are we turning this into an interrogation room?" "It's because, Memphis, three days ago was your fourteenth birthday. On that day, all your memories were to be erased, but it didn't work. You seem to remember over half your memories, but you aren't supposed to remember even one." ** The year is 2049. Twenty-five years ago, scientists revealed a new plan to make the world a better place. On every person's 14th birthday, their personal memories would be completely erased, leaving them with only basic skills like walking, eating, and breathing and academic skills up to eighth grade level. From several successful tests, scientists determined that without traumatic childhood experiences, people wouldn't have as much built-up anger to release on others. Up until present day, everything has worked. But on August 1, 2049, a girl named Memphis comes back from the MemoCenter in downtown St. Louis remembering nearly everything. Memphis remembers that she was born in Laval, Canada, to Adeline and Laurent Turcotte, on July 29, 2035. She knows that she became a US citizen when her family moved to Missouri in 2038, and that her 18-year-old brother is Houston. She knows the names of all 32 NHL teams, and worst of all, she remembers every event from her childhood and early adolescence. If anyone finds out, she will be executed. Will Memphis Turcotte keep her secret, or will this be one thing she forgets? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 37kComplete
The Winning Shot
I was young, naive, and weak, when my whole world collapsed. Now, I'm still young, but I know better. Better than to put my guard down. Better than to blindly believe those who promise, they won't hurt me. Better than to think someone would show some genuine interest in who I am instead of just taking advantage of me. Better than to trust anyone with my heart and body ever again. I spent years crawling up from the rock bottom, just now starting to see the light. Joining my college lacrosse team is a chance for happiness, but also a risk, I'm petrified to take. How am I supposed to look at my teammates and not see his face? How am I supposed to pretend I'm not on the verge of a panic attack, every time I step into the locker room? And how am I supposed to tell someone, that they only waste their time on me because I might as well be considered a lost cause?

The Tricolore
The year is 2109. The West outlawed sports completely after the ten-year Bruins hockey dynasty caused the destructive riots of 2057. "People" have had no names since 2036, instead being identified by others using chips on the back of their heads. That is, until one person from a province known as Québec names himself Shea-Weber0600 and takes a stand. 33-year-old 0600 got his name and number from a gift his father gave him at his coming-of-age. It was a jersey, which had been made illegal, and 0600 found out that the person on the back had been named Shea-Weber. 0600 knows it's safer to keep the jersey hidden, but he doesn't. Instead, he starts a hockey team. He gathers other jerseys just like his and forms a team he decides to call the "Tricolore," French for three-colored, due to the three colors of the jerseys. The Tricolore set up shop at an abandoned arena, once the popular Centre Bell, and practice in front of thousands of people every week. One of the Tricolore is able to get the word out without notifying police, and soon, there are 32 teams in their new "league." The league lasts just a week before disaster strikes. Two Tricolore players are injured during the night, and forward Phillip-Danault0240 is found dead in his room, his throat slit. Who could have done this? Will the league survive and bring hockey back to the West? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 21kComplete
