Why this must be read: I love the idea of this and I adore the execution; it’s written in first person, but it sounds so much like Sam that it isn’t at all jarring. This short story deals with time and paradoxes, but is really about Sam’s identity.

My theory is this. We are our memories, even the ones we don't remember.

I remember going into a wood as a child, and seeing my father attack a woman in a red dress. And though I hid the memory for many years, it was still there. Working on me. Making me what I was. Sam, however, the other Sam in this building—he doesn't have that memory.
