Eternity Diffused

You wake up with the realization that you have aged 30-years, AI now controls your daily schedule, and speaking about the past-no matter how recent-is considered to be highly taboo. And your husband and daughter appear to be perfectly content with the state of the world.

What do you do?

Theda, a joyous twenty-two year-old, is in love with life. Her job in the recycling factory is idyllic, she lives with her best friend, and she has no plans in sight for her future-because the future simply doesn't exist. Her mother, Katherine, on the other hand, would disagree. Katherine can't quite put her finger on it, but something doesn't feel right. Life...just seems to be lacking something...Maybe it's because her brightest years are behind her? But it is almost impossible to know because she can't access any information from before last week. History is taboo now. Has she been robbed of her past? Therapy Bot tells her it isn't so, but Katherine is starting to wonder if Therapy Bot is to be trusted. Will Theda be able to pull Katherine back to reality, or will Theda's present begin to crumble?

Eternity Diffused is a dystopian literary fiction with hints of magical realism.
