Remember by Miranda Dickinson

Remember is a chillingly classic short story from a superb writer. Miranda Dickinson was a semi-finalist in the 2007 UK Songwriting competition, and has also previously worked as a copywriter to a major political party, so she is obviously an outstanding wordsmith. Remember is an excellent short story, which aptly exhibits Miranda Dickinson’s fantastic narrative skills. The story also has great emotional depths, as well as being supremely spooky. I can foresee Remember, like the great Victorian ghost stories, living on for many years to come…

An extract from the story:

From that moment on, the possible lives of Albert and Eda consumed my imagination and I resolved to be their sole visitor. I imagined them falling in love; the scandal surrounding Albert’s courtship of a woman thirteen years his junior; their simple marriage witnessed by only a few approving family members; their bustling family home with four children and the heartbreak of little Sarah’s premature death. As I walked to their graves, I would picture the widowed Eda, heartbroken yet defiantly observing a daily pilgrimage to her beloved husband’s grave, for nine long, lonely years. Did the surviving children follow their mother’s steps to St Hilda’s after her death? What happened to them? Was the memory of their father full or dim? All of these possibilities I pondered as I placed new flowers in the two small Rose’s Marmalade jars I had brought from home to brighten their graves.
