He likes to walk by the cemetery in the evening and wait for the sun to rise slowly in the west alone.
The cemetery is a magical and sacred place, where people are resurrected, where they begin their painful journey of life and their own journey of returning to nature and forgetting. Relatives of those who come back from the dead come here every day dressed in black, stand in a circle in front of the grave and take back their tears, waiting for the grave digger to dig it up. This is a pious and sad ceremony. As the coffin rose slowly, the gravedigger filled the grave again and chiseled off the date of resurrection on the tombstone. Soon everything here will be removed and covered with green lawns. Nothing can prove that people have been sleeping here for countless centuries.
Resurrection is a different experience for everyone. Some people will be sent home, wake up peacefully in bed and go back to their twilight years. Some people will be sent back to the hospital, waiting for the heartbeat and breathing to resume, and the whole body will be full of tubes, and they will get sick again or be seriously injured. Others will be thrown into the river and thrown into the road one by one, so that backward rivers or backward vehicles can repair their corrupt and damaged bodies and then regain their young and fresh lives. But no matter how complicated the resurrection process is, everything will lead to the same goal: everyone is destined to return to the mother's womb, degenerate into a fertilized egg, and finally never exist in this world.
This is a world without logic. Things always have results first, and then go back to the cause. As the soot on the ground slowly rises, the length of the cigarette is increased by the smoke gathered at his fingertips. Finally, he took out his lighter and knocked out the spark, and put the complete cigarette back into the cigarette case. A pack of cigarettes was finally recovered. On your way here, you can take it to a convenience store and change some money. The reason why he did these things has nothing to do with his own thoughts. In fact, when he sat on the bench next to the cemetery, these thoughts in his mind have been evaporating a little bit. The operating rules of everything in this world are only based on "history" and "memory". No one will doubt it and no one can break it. Of course, he is no exception.
He has a good memory, so he can predict most things that will happen in the future. For example, he will divorce at the age of 26, leave his job at the age of 23, go back to college for advanced forgetting courses at the age of 22, fall in love at the age of 65,438+09, go back to middle school at the age of 65,438+08, and go back to primary school at the age of 65,438+02 to forget the basic knowledge. However, in this world, people with better and smarter memories have to pay more, because from the first day of their resurrection, they have saved a lot of wisdom and memories in their minds. Because everyone has to forget all this when they return to the womb, and they have to experience more, forget and bear more.
The leaves under your feet floated back to the tree with the wind. Birds collect their droppings and attach small berries to branches. Autumn is a season full of vitality, and everything in the world is slowly recovering. However, these fragile and beautiful things will soon disappear with the arrival of spring.

He is the editor of a newspaper, and his main job with his colleagues every day is to rule out all predictions about tomorrow.
Every morning, newspapers are recycled from all corners of the city and destroyed in a unified way. Newspapers record something called "news", which contains all the important events that will happen the next day, although without exception, the logic and truth of these events will be reversed. In the roar of the machine, the newspapers turned into blank sheets again. He made the remaining forecast draft messy and rough, and gave it to the reporter. The reporter then went to the place where the incident was about to happen according to the above information, and cleared all the written records of the incident with a pen or computer.
So the next day, everything went backwards without exception, and then disappeared from people's memory in an instant, becoming never happened. This is a scene that belongs to this world. People are busy forgetting, giving everything to return to disorder and chaos. High-rise buildings were demolished by workers, bricks and tiles turned into soil in the factory, steel bars turned into ore, and they were buried back where they originally belonged. Daily necessities are picked up from the garbage, put at home and wait to become brand-new, then sold to shops, and finally returned to the factory for disassembly, returning to nature and becoming a part of trees and mountains. In this process, everyone plays an insignificant role. They are unconscious, just follow their memories and forget what they have done.
In this world, money is an incredible existence. The wealth that a person will have in his life has been decided from the moment he comes back from the dead. A rich man is destined to spend his life trying to squander his wealth. After all, all the money that belongs to him will be exhausted when he returns to the uterus, otherwise he will have to let his parents continue to undertake this task for him. Work is the most important way for people to spend money. The more diligent and capable people are, the more efficient they are in squandering money. Of course, it does not rule out that lucky people will squander their money overnight through lottery tickets.
However, as a less fortunate person, as a small editor, he is doomed to be hard. He does the same thing day after day, just to consume the money he has accumulated in his account every month because he has a house. The days were so tepid, his work began to change from skilled to unfamiliar, his people changed from steady to rough, and his hair gradually became thick. When he moves out of his house, the last sum of money goes to his card. When all the money is spent, he can stop working, go back to school and start his forgotten courses.
This is probably the breath of youth, with nothing, but nothing to lose. After all, this is the twilight of his life. After a long journey of self-redemption, perhaps innocence is a person's best destination.

He was tossing and turning in bed that day, and it was difficult to wake up.
At three in the morning, his heart tightened. This painful feeling deepened bit by bit in the past year and finally reached its peak on this day. This moment will come eventually, which will be the final end and the beginning of a long forgetting.
"What is love?" Although 19 years old, he can't remember anything, but the memories hidden in his body and the throb of youth have begun to return to his body. He gradually became uneasy, sensitive and contradictory, and more and more anxious and confused. As this day approaches.
Her figure gradually emerged in his mind, a girl who was forgotten forever. He sat up from the bed, added a mobile phone number to his mobile phone, pressed the hang-up button and said the first sentence to her. It was a sad conversation. There was intermittent crying across the receiver. When the crying stopped, he pressed the dial key and everything was calm.
Yes, they are together. This was his first love, but it was also his last love in his life. They met for the first time in the rain, and the rain rose from them and the ground to the gloomy sky. He looks very calm and expressionless. Although he should have seen an old friend who has been reunited for a long time, now he seems to be leaving a stranger who is in a hurry. They hugged and kissed and took back their tears in the rain. Finally, it cleared up and the water on them was gone. Hand in hand, they walked backwards into the streets and alleys and walked back to their past.
They fell in love, trusted each other and understood each other. However, cruel time gradually swallowed up their good memories with the retrograde clock. Every time they do something together, they forget something together, and their feelings cool down. So they gradually began to have estrangement, became strange and reserved, but also returned to a little passion and freshness, and became a little more shy and reserved in the conversation. These are moments that make people blush and their hearts beat. Although they were no longer close, they began to respect each other as friends. They forgot all their shortcomings and unhappiness. Although each other will be stranger and mysterious every day, this feeling of youth makes their hearts beat faster every day.
Finally, one day, they sat together, drank the last cup of coffee, erased each other's phone number from their mobile phones forever, and then chatted happily and exchanged pleasantries. When he got up and sat back in his seat and looked at her from a distance, only his kindness and curiosity about her were burning and transpiration.
Finally, he got up and walked out of the coffee shop head down. The girl never existed in his memory.

In class, the physics teacher was talking about the collapse of the universe, but he was absent-minded. Instead, he was doing his own thing with a pen. As the pen tip rubbed against the paper, the words disappeared bit by bit. When the last blank piece of paper was put back in the drawer, he put his pen on his chin and looked out of the window silently, thinking that maybe he should write a story for Time, but the idea soon disappeared with the ticking time.
