In the year 2049, I stepped into a hospital that no longer existed in the present... and discovered the cure we were never meant to find.
North America is torn in two by the San Andreas Vault rupture. Cities crumble. Data is lost. But inside the fortified walls of the iWorld Continental Hospital's Alzheimer's Institute, something survives-the fragmented blueprints of a perfect cure for Alzheimer's disease.
I was never meant to lead the project. But when Former President E. M. R. Blake collapsed mid-speech-her memories unraveling-I was forced to act. The world watched. And I dove into the wards.
Each wing held a piece of the cure:
From neuroinflammation modulators and anti-tau nanomedics,
To CRISPR-edited neurons, quantum brain interfaces,
And intergalactic stem cell infusions from portals beyond Earth.
But the deeper I went, the stranger the science became-
Time loops. Digital twin brains. Alien languages embedded in human DNA.
And then... I remembered something I never lived.
This is not just a story of science.
It's a story of memory.
Of love lost to dementia-and found again in the folds of time.
Of horror buried in failed experiments-and beauty reborn in rewired minds.
Of a cure not only for Alzheimer's... but for forgetting what it means to be human.
I cured Alzheimer's. But I lost something too.
And now, I'm asking you to remember it with me.
