    I am who I am, the memories dont


    matter
    Sir, theres been a terrible accident..
    With great effort, I pushed my eyelids open, only to find myself in a white
    room. Im wearing a hospital gown. There are people around me. I see fear
    and disgust in their eyes.
    At my bedside table, theres a little red box, empty. Its lined with
    velvet, with a horizontal slit in the middle. How did I end up here? When they
    put a mirror in front of me, I was startled at first; the face looking back was
    unfamiliar to me. Who am I?
    They took me to court. Ive never seen so many unknown faces at once.
    They sat me on a bench, and thats when I heard what happened.
    It seems my name is Ted. And I have a girlfirend. Well, Ted used to.
    They have been together for ages, and Ted took her out to dinner one
    evening.
    A man is now showing the little red box to everyone in the courthouse.
    Naturally, she said yes, so they celebrated with a few drinks.
    The man puts the box in front of me. Ive never seen it before.
    The rest of that evening went by in a flash: drinks, food, car, two bright lights
    and a loud horn.
    The 16 ton truck crumpled the passengers side. There was nothing the
    paramedics could do.
    The verdict was unanimous. Ted is guilty. It all became a haze of
    images afterwards, handcuffs, prison gate, cell door opening..
    Did you love her?, my cellmate asked, one morning.
    I didnt know what to say.
