Memory Fragments Synopsis
In the future, your memories will be recorded in 3D, for playback and interaction at your leisure. Until you're murdered, of course - then your memories will become key pieces of evidence in the investigation into your death. What was the last thing you remember? Did you get a good look at your killer? Is the clue to solve your murder hiding in a tender moment with your lover? In Memory Fragments, Detective Cloud navigates this all-too-plausible vision of the future as he examines the shattered and decaying memories of a young man brutally murdered.

About the Playwright
Sam Wallin has been writing plays for over twenty years now, and has had many of his short plays produced in theatres and festivals around the United States. He currently lives in Washington State, where he is a librarian, husband, father, and collector of various odds and ends that clutter up his house. One of these days, he'll take all those skeleton keys and make a really cool shadow box thing, or get one of those coffee tables with a glass top and a display drawer, and then everyone can enjoy his collection. Same with the stamps, rocks, coins, and rotary-dial telephones. Well, the phones won't fit in a shadow box, so maybe he'll put up some shelves that will display them all. Although to be fair, it won't look really cool until he has at least ten phones, so he'll probably need to get a few more before he builds the shelf. Also, the garage needs to be cleaned out. That needs to happen first.
