About This Book
"You owe me one pink memory." Jim intoned lazily. Abigail turned to Ishmael, deeply confused. "What?" Ishmael was still staring angrily at Jim, but he spoke to her. "Here, unless you are employed and get Monochrome currency, you have to pay for food, shelter and drink with memories, good memories." His eyes met hers and his look was deadly serious. He grabbed her arm tightly, imploring her. "Be careful which memory you choose. Once you give it up, you no longer have it. You can't ever think of it again." He tightened his grip further and Abigail winced and pulled away from him. He finally noticed what he had been doing and an embarrassed look settled on his face. "Sorry. It's just that it's important you don't choose a memory that you will mourn losing." He waved a dismissive hand in the air."Though, of course, all of them are memories that will be missed. That's why they are acceptable payments." Abigail turned to Jim, determined not to let her fear show. "How is this done, then?" He reached under the counter and brought up a pink tinted bottle, round at the base and skinny at the top. "You just gotta think of the memory you want to use and touch the top of this jar. The memory will transfer immediately." Ishmael cleared his throat at Jim and the bartender begrudgingly continued. "Think of only one memory and really concentrate, lady. If you think of more than one, I get both. No refunds." She nodded at Ishmael in appreciation. He just looked away, as if he didn't want to witness the process. She could tell Jim had not told her everything to begin with, and she wondered what kind of person would want to cheat someone out of their happiness. But she put her disgust aside and concentrated on finding a memory she could live without... "Hauntingly beautiful! That's the best way I can think of to describe this book. [...] Jones takes a dark subject and imbues it with light." -Author Elle Jacklee, The Tree of Mindala "Ms. Jones has written a dark, Alice in Wonderland styled story that will touch your heart with the characters plight and perhaps, if you're like me, have you start your own journey of introspection. Once I began this unique exploration I could not stop, reading the book in only a couple of sittings. I believe any reader would find it difficult to do otherwise." -Author Denis F. Larson, Raven Falconer Chronicles Winner of the prestigious B.R.A.G Medallion
