Remember to Forget

By Jwyan C. Johnson

After a celebrity suffers a big crime in a small town, Hollywood pressure sets in for immediate answers. As clues disappear, and detectives suffer the media's wrath, a sudden surveillance tape reveals a possible eye-witness to the whole crime. But their teenage native, Dedra Kare, has just one problem: retrograde amnesia.

With a medical remedy to unlock it all, detectives suffer the extra mystery as to why her parents are refusing to give consent. What does Dedra not know that she possibly could? And will she ever, as a teenager? Is she somehow involved in the actual crime? And would leaking her potential make Dedra a target for someone else determined to silence her memory for good?

With her hidden yearbook, a missing autograph, and her tricky little sister, it's an unfamiliar race down memory lane with the traffic of mystery. Experience the shortcuts of insistence from sidekicks to pranksters to worse. But as justice becomes impatient, and family demands loyalty, Dedra faces a memorable dilemma: should she move past the past, explore it fully, or 'remember to forget.'

Jwyan C. Johnson

Years ago, author and award-winning poet Jwyan C. Johnson wrote the script to a cartoon. The story starts off with a police chase to a giant dictionary: the home of our vocabulary words. Cops break down the cover, and they all rush in with their weapons drawn. And as they move around inside this book, we learn that they’re looking for one specific word: a simple 9-lettered noun. It has been bragging about its countless offenses committed against our society, against mankind. Surprising unarmed, and not dangerous, this specific word simply turns us against each other.Detectives follow the "alphabetical” directions to the right page, the right column and the right row, only to discover that this word has disappeared! Nowadays this divisive word lives inside our minds if we let it! The accomplished mystery writer reveals that "ignorance” was the word the police were after.The creative writings of Jwyan C. Johnson aim to biblically "protect and serve” the mind state because "ignorance is still at large in our society!” And with his latest kingdom-seeking contribution, Christian Parables, there are some places where ignorance no longer resides so we can win back each other.

Chapter 1

Autograph from the Past

Dedra stares at her old junior high school from its parking lot, with a tight hold on her yearbook: the only receipt from her past. She hopes her amnesia will one day bow to those pages, and animate a forever locked past. Until then, she certainly won’t forget to hide it from everyone after recently discovering it underneath her bed. Something inside her wants proof that her family and friend’s stories match that 16 year old girl in the picture. So with its cover cleverly disguised
