Today I learned
how to do a new trick in a popular game called Super Smash Bros. I
called it Dodge Jumping. I had to name it since I've never seen
anyone else use it before against me online and on any of the things
I read online or any of the videos I've seen online of tips for how
to play the game(or special trick videos) have never covered what I
did. It'd be neat if I found something new because it's really cool.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Decaying
Memory
A nearly
century old roll of film wedged itself in the floorboards of an
attic. A family left it there many years ago. All the family members
moved from the house and died ages ago, with a small bloodline now
far removed and on the other side of the country.
Despite the
fact a canister covered the film the elements reached the film. The
canister lacked a perfect seal and a creeping decay from the attic
air worked its way at the film. The contents worn, but not lost.
Since the relic
belonged to the early ages of film it only possessed a small number
of frames. The family who originally lost the film paid someone to
record themselves waving for a few seconds. Most of the frames lost,
the family barely shook their hands and in many of the frames their
faces vanished from existence.
A new tenant
worked his way in the attic to pack-rat away some things. After
putting down the last of his various doo-dads he saw the film
canister on the ground. He'd seen a few of the canisters on TV and
decided maybe he'd have it looked at by someone. Fortunately the
tenant even had the wisdom to not open the canister. Thanks to him
seeing the film in the nook the last memory of the family won't be
lost forever.
