a classic jamjar plot, now in convenient meme form!

[toeup]

the memory share meme You find yourself in a vast, dark space. It's so dark you can barely see your hand in front of your face. Then—flickering lights. Screens, or fireflies, or spirit motes, whatever makes the most sense to your mind, come up around you. You reach out to touch one. You blink. You're somewhere else, a ghost observing an event that's already happened, unable to change anything. You blink again, and you're no longer in the memory or the blackness, instead face-to-face with whoever's memory you just saw. What next? HOW TO PLAY:— Leave a top level with your character. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TOP LEVEL BLANK unless you are leaving sub-comments with different memories. — Describe a memory or three for other characters to observe.     — Remember to include a warning for anything triggering that may happen in your character's memories. — Observe other characters' memories and then discuss!

A smiling face. A youth, no more than twenty. Affection. Perhaps, love. Emotions that run deeper than simple friendship. His image flickers and distorts, fading to his body limp and slumped over, a fine silken bowstring pulled taut around his neck.

A blurry vision of a stoic-looking man, peering down over the viewer in a scientific-like manner. There is pain, sharp and strong. The coldness of a stone floor, fading into darkness.

Bodies. Enough to fill a field. Corpses as far as the eye can see, some with heads, some without. Some torn to shreds from an unimaginable show of violence. Left behind to rot, face-down in the dirt.
