Link for Day
1: DAY 1: Recall Word Count: 2,104
In
2012, I dumped my short stories for IntShoWriMo (then called NaShoWriMo) into
two blogs; this blog you are viewing and the blog I created specifically for
the challenge. The first ten to twelve days had me churning out about 2,000
words a day. I pumped these words into both blogs, every day.
It
didn’t take long for Google to notice something wasn’t quite right. And so, it
happened that one day while trying to access my blog, I was redirected to a
verifications page. The message read like this:
Our
system has detected a large transfer of data to your site.
Fill
the code into the box above to prove you are not a robot.
The
way I remember it, the verification process occurred twice in the course of IntShoWriMo
2012 which ran through the month of June. I’m wiser now so here’s the deal, in
order not to be mistaken for a robot (and may I add, for the second time around), this
blog would feature the day’s prompt and the basic storyline only. The full short
story goes into the blog created for
this challenge.
Back
to the business at hand. The short story Recall is the
story of a guy called Levi.
Levi
is a software developer working at a computer game company. The story begins
with Levi revisiting his childhood home via a virtual reality game he invented.
Code name: Recall. The gadget injects
fluid into the brain and then messes with the player’s memory.
Levi
who suffered temporary memory loss because of a minor brain injury incurred
from an auto accident, got the shock of his life when his invention overdid
itself and threw him several years back in time.

Keep
your pen bleeding.
