[PER] my memory is like a film

[congeries]

113. My memory is like a film. This is why I am really good at remembering things, like the conversations I have written down in this book, and what people were wearing, and what they smelled like, because my memory has a smelltrack which is like a sound track.

And when people ask to remember something I can simply press Rewind and Fast Forward and Pause like on videorecorder, but more like a DVD player because I don't have to Rewind through everything in between to get a memory of something a long time ago. And there are no buttons, either, because it is happening in my head". - the curious incident of the dog in the night-time
