Between Memory and Identity: Awakening in Darkness
I awake to darkness, consumed by hunger and pain. My body is injured, my head throbbing. I cannot see anything, not even my own hands. Am I blind? This is how we meet Shori Matthews, though she doesn't yet know her name. Her journey begins with this primal awakening-confused, injured, and driven by instinct alone. When an animal approaches, hunger compels her to seize it, tearing at its throat until it collapses. As Shori explores her surroundings, she discovers her body is covered in scars, and she's nearly bald with an indentation in her skull. Most disturbingly, she has no memory of who she is. Walking downhill from her cave, she finds burned ruins of houses-perhaps once her home? She scavenges clothing, then returns to hunting and burying herself during daylight that burns her skin. On her fourth night of wandering, she encounters Wright Hamlin, a young construction worker who stops to help her. Their meeting proves transformative when she instinctively bites his hand and discovers an overwhelming hunger for his blood. Wright calls her a "vampire," though the term means nothing to her. Despite the strangeness, Wright takes her home, naming her "Renee"-reborn-providing her first sense of identity since awakening. What does it mean to be yourself when you have no recollection of who that self might be? Shori's amnesia serves both narrative and thematic purposes-allowing us to discover this world alongside her while emphasizing how profoundly identity depends on memory and connection to others.
