Core Narrative 2

Austin is on a journey to retrieve his lost memories. After a plane crash, he was diagnosed with PTSD. This caused amnesia and his brain to block his whole life out. He had no idea who he was. Austin has tried every medical option available. One day a man spoke to him in his dreams. He told him the path he decided would make up his

whole future. If he wanted to get better he would have to find the place where the river meets the rocks. Austin suddenly has a flashback to a place he would play as a child.

Austin is wondering who this old man is and how he caused him to remember a piece of him. He makes the decision to find the place the old man said. There was no one there for Austin. He was alone. It was too easy for him to pack up and go.

Austin starts his journey. He drove as far as he could before he had to go on foot. He spent days hunting and surviving off the land. He was becoming one with nature. On his journey he found these leaves that he was using to flavor his food with. He soon learned that they had healing properties. He was becoming stronger than before. It was healing his body and he could feel his mind growing stronger.

Many days passed and he finally found the place where the river met the rocks. He thought he was crazy because the rocks were in the shape of a person. As he approached the old man greeted him and offered him some food and water. He told Austin the ways in which voodoo and ancient herbs can heal those in which modern medicine has failed.

During his time there he learned the ancient voodoo magic and smoked, blended, and ingested herbs that expanded his mind like never before. After months of being with this old man his memories started to come back. He remembered who he was. The old man nodded as to acknowledge that he understood he has his memories back and proceed to walk away.

Austin chased after the old man and explained he wanted to stay, that the tribe was like family to him now. Austin lived for 100 more years and taught people like him and healed until the day he faded away.
