The story

She smuggles other people's memories for a living, until one dive makes her relive a stranger's most intimate night, and he knows a name she has never told anyone.

Why it’s hot

Memory as voyeurism. She has already lived his most private night from the inside, and meeting him for real is the twist that drives the rest.

Who it suits

Sci-fi noir with a memory twist. Pick it if you want story first.
