I locked the past and threw away the key.
Some other people came looking for it to extend and exploit history.
They reinvented me, but this version (past + imagined) has nothing to do with the real me.
I look at the image in the mirror which is not mine.
The key has again landed in the forest. But no one knows where it belongs.
Now, they are constructing locks that will fit the key.
Fiction will replace everything.

Powerful last line!

Pretty mind-altering. History is written by the winners, lets hope we aren’t fictionalised as well.

Very interesting take! Sort of “alternate facts” replacing true facts.

“Fiction will replace everything.” This is scary thought especially when the one’s writing it are up to no good.

We have elections next month, and I’ve stopped watching TV. Each statement and assertion is motivated by a vested interest.
