"Because to live is to decay. To be alive is to rot slowly, to barely notice it, only to be surprised by the inevitable result of the signs that had been there the entire time. Decades of deterioration from delivery 'til death." 

Connor Michaels was once a respected man - a former college quarterback, loving father and husband, and loved by his community. Now he is a broken man with a ruined family and no future after the death of his son. He is hanging on by a thread when he comes across a miracle med that will help him relive the good memories and block out the bad. 

This story is simple, yet powerful. Whether you feel bad or not for Connor, you can feel his emotions poured across the pages and you can't help but grieve with him, even if everything that happened was a result of his own actions. He is a flawed character with a lot of built up anger and sadness, and the only person keeping him going is his brother. 

I love the unique concept of a med that could help you relive all of your good memories. It all sounds wonderful and fun as you remember all the happy moments of life, but soon it becomes an addiction for Connor as he constantly wants to escape his broken life, continuing on an inevitable downward spiral. And that ending? Loved it! 

This novella is written very well and filled with such raw emotion. I loved everything about it and I highly recommend it!
