The Woman Who Remembered Yesterday is now out.
This story didn’t behave the way I expected it to.
A Story That Refused to Sit Still
I wrote it during a workshop, surrounded by writers whose approach to science fiction leans inward—stories that pause, linger, and examine.
This one didn’t.
It kept moving. It kept asking questions. It insisted on being about something concrete: memory, loss, and what happens when no one remembers the people who mattered.
And somewhere along the way, it surprised me.
Walking a Darker Road
This is a quieter story than most of my work. A lonelier one.
It asks what happens when memory itself begins to slip—not just for one person, but for everyone—and what that does to the connections we rely on to understand who we are.
“I thought you wrote optimistic science fiction?”
That was one of the first reactions I got.
And I understand it. On the surface, this isn’t an easy story. It doesn’t offer comfort right away. It walks a darker road than most of what I write.
What Optimism Looks Like
But for me, optimism in science fiction has never meant that things go well.
It means paying attention to what people choose to do when they don’t.
The Woman Who Remembered Yesterday is very much about that choice—about what we hold on to when memory itself becomes uncertain, and what we’re willing to protect when forgetting would be easier.
If you’re willing to stay with it, I think you’ll recognize the destination.
