The Weight of Memories

“He was completely unprepared for the long, winding road of life ahead of him, and thus ready for anything.”

Beautiful. A really good short story exploring the concept of inherited memories. It made me think of the Atreides twins and their genetic memory in Herbert's work “The children of Dune”, which I'm currently reading.

Creepy and depressing, and the writing felt very stiff (maybe lost in translation?).
