11.12.25: Memory Marketplace

The new app lets you buy and sell memories directly. Someone's first kiss goes for about fifty bucks. Memories of dead relatives cost more, obviously. I sold my memory of learning to ride a bike because I needed rent money, but now I have this weird gap in my childhood. My mom keeps talking about teaching me and I just nod along, pretending I remember. The creepy part is knowing someone else now has that memory of my mom's hands on the bike seat, her voice encouraging me. They experience it like it happened to them. I wonder if they think about her sometimes.
