Memento Mori

This short story was odd to say the least, but as I read it I found myself actually liking it. I liked the beginning of the story more than the end. I think this is because I felt like I understood the beginning more as I was reading it. When the story started getting into what I believe to be letters to the man he wrote to himself it really started to get confusing. There were some parts of the story that really came out of nowhere that I still have no clue of the significance they had to the story. Parts such as the tattoo and the hotel room really confused me. But I feel like that was the point. The man obviously had some kind of brain injury that caused memory loss or Alzheimer's or something that caused him to not remember anything. I think that in writing this story so randomly and crazy that the author was trying to convey a bit of what the character in the story was feeling. He woke up every day not knowing anything that had happened in his life for quite some time. It almost seemed like he would come in and out of conscious thought and as he came to he wouldn't know what the heck he was doing. Which is exactly what I felt while reading it. I never knew what to expect nor did I know how he got there or what he was doing.
