THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES: EXCERPT

    Being in a roomful of big, burly men looking as vulnerable as kittens was an unsettling experience. I studied each of their faces, and finally addressed Captain Hammer’s broad back. “You’ve all lost your memories?”

     Several of the men nodded. “Our memories begin three months ago,” Quentin told me.

      "When the palace was finished,“ I murmured.

      "Not just us, but all of the palace’s inhabitants,” Sergeant Max said. “Not a single one remembers their life before that day. We know our names and those of everyone else who works here. We know what our work entails and how to go about it. But that’s all. It’s as if…” He broke off and scrubbed a hand over his jaw.

     Hammer turned around and those blue eyes captured me. “It’s as if we didn’t exist before that day.”
