[ WP ] In 5 minutes , you 're going to forget who you are . To prevent this , you must kill whomever is in the room with you .

I remember the realization, and I looked over to the other side of the room where she was sitting. `` No. ``, was my answer. I immediately forgot the question. And then everything else followed. I looked around the room, and back to the couch. 
 
 `` Excuse me, this is going to sound incredibly weird but I ca n't remember who you are. Or who I am for that matter. Oh, that's a nice looking kitten.'' 
 
 She sat up and looked at me for a moment. `` Babe, what? Do you need to go to bed? Come on.'' 
 
 I blinked. Babe? Hmm, that was something. `` Okay, I'm digging it. I'm guessing we would n't just be hanging out together.'' I looked down at my hand, and hers. Rings. `` So married. How long?'' 
 
 She got up then, a very worried look on her face. `` You're serious, are n't you? We should probably get you to a doctor or something.'' She started scrounging around. `` Have you seen my keys?'' 
 
 I blinked again. I started to say something, stopped, and finally got started. `` Well, I imagine I have but, you know, *memory issues* apparently.'' I got up as well. I was beginning to feel a touch nervous myself. `` Hey, that's me! And you, and kids?'' There was a family portrait on the wall. We looked good, all together. 
 
 `` Yes, that's us.'' She came over to me and took my hand. I did n't fight it. I looked around at the other walls, at the other photos. Vacations, school functions, a wedding. Our wedding. `` Twelve years. Three kids. Several dogs over those years, and a handful of cats.'' 
 
 I felt a squeeze. I looked down, I looked at her. `` Well then, I guess we should be getting to that doctor. Or hospital, or whatever. Shall we?'' I gave a wan smile, it was returned. I imagined we would get through this together, as apparently we had gotten through many other moments together so far.
