Title: The Last Conversation (Forward collection) Pdf
Audible narration by Steven Strait (The Expanse)
What’s more frightening: Not knowing who you are? Or finding out? A Bram Stoker Award–winning author explores the answer in a chilling story about identity and human consciousness.
Imagine you’ve woken up in an unfamiliar room with no memory of who you are, how you got there, or where you were before. All you have is the disconnected voice of an attentive caretaker. Dr. Kuhn is there to help you—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. She’ll help you remember everything. She’ll make sure you reclaim your lost identity. Now answer one question: Are you sure you want to?
Paul Tremblay’s The Last Conversation is part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.
Altogether strange and unsettling, Paul Tremblay tells an all-too-real, immersive short story I will read anything and everything by Paul Tremblay. He is one of those authors that aims for your secret, undisclosed fears--some of which you don't even know about into you're knee-deep into one of his novels and plain scared out of your mind by some fresh horror you wish didn't exist.This short story, THE LAST CONVERSATION, tapped a new fear for me. The narrative resembles an omniscient 2nd person POV, employing YOU to play the role of the main character.YOU wake up in a strange room feeling disoriented and unsure of who you are or what you're doing in this laboratory-like environment. A woman initiates a conversation with you through a speaker in the room.From this point on, Paul Tremblay stitches together a strange and subtly unsettling story piece by piece as "you" slowly start to remember the events leading up to your present-day situation. As I was reading it, I felt like I was involved in a Black Mirror episode--an unwavering sense of dread as I drew closer and closer to the conclusion.I absolutely love this story.Thought-Provoking Decided to give this one a go first as I am a huge fan of Tremblay's. He is quickly becoming one of the best short-story writers out there, especially after his amazing Growing Things and Other Stories collection that came out in July.This one is quick, like the others in the Forward series, and is very thought-provoking to say the least. It is also quite terrifying seeing X's first-hand experience as it feels very real. Sort of feels like the initial reveal in Hugh Howey's Wool.Interesting take on more than few old tropes... Although it is a short story, it was still a fun ride! Definitely a different take on end of the world type scenarios...but I think a much needed side trip. I've often wished there were more stories where a scientist takes on a more human role, and not just a last-minute heroic attempt as the plague overtakes or the zombies eat them alive or the planet explodes.It was a nice little short story. Not overly fantastic, but definitely worth the time. I definitely recommend...if for no other reason than to have a short escape.
