In October 2016, I began working up the idea for a new story. It involved a dangerous race that started with the contestants entering into drug-induced amnesia. As you can imagine, memory loss was a big part of the story. Fast-forward to January 2017. My parents moved back to Pennsylvania from South Carolina because my father needed extra help caring for his wife. Although I knew my stepmom was having issues, it wasn’t until I began seeing them every day that I realized she had Alzheimer’s disease. For the next two years, I helped my parents cope with the disease that stole my stepmom’s memory, then her personality, and then her life. She passed away just last month.
