Evoking Mira Erica Chilson

With a single glance in the mirror, the reflection gazing back evokes Mira's sense of self. Struggling to rearrange the broken fragments of her psyche, Mira attempts to piece her memories together into a survivable landscape. Once, twice, a dozen cycles, Mira is forced to experience memories plucked from time, over and over again until they finally take root, as if they're happening in the now. One misstep. A chemical-induced amnesia resets the cycle, where she is destined to repeat her own history. Instead of naturally spreading the events over a lifetime, Mira must face the traumatic demons of her past in agonizing bursts. The pain. The joy. The sorrow. Will it be one time too many? That last traumatic nudge propelling Mira over the edge of the abyss into lucidity, or will she be stuck in an endless rotation where her memories lock her away from reality?
