Recursion

 Fiction by Blake Crouch


At the beginning of this story, we discover that some people have recently begun suffering from False Memory Syndrome (FMS), a disorder in which they suddenly have two sets of memories for the past several years, one real and one false. No one understands this disorder or how it might be transmitted. 

When police detective Barry Sutton finds Ann Vos Peters on a skyscraper ledge, he is taken aback when she reveals she has FMS. She says she can't live with the double memories in her head, because the false memories seem so much more compelling that the real ones. Barry is torn between wanting to save her and fearing to touch her. But she inspires him to investigate this strange new problem.

Is FMS really a disease people have somehow caught? Or could the false memories be real? Is someone, somehow, changing the past? 

This was an exciting story!!
