The Memory Gene

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you could remember everything - not just the things YOU had learned yourself, but maybe even everything your father had learned? And *his* father before him?

What about the opposite? What if everyone ELSE remembered everything, but YOU didn't? What if you were the first person in generations who had to (re)learn everything on your own?

This is the tale of Terb and Thennek, the first and last of a fairly rare mutation known as the "memory gene." Nobody knows why it started, and nobody knows why it ended; they didn't choose the lives they were born to, but having been born different, each has to confront the scary fact that they are alone and unique. Each is an outsider in his own way, and each is equally scared to be "found out."
