00:00Welcome back to Tales of Unusual, the channel that whispers stories you wish you could forget.
00:08Tonight's tale is called My Wife's Memories.
00:12What would you do if the person you love most started remembering things that never happened, or worse, things you never wanted them to remember?
00:22Turn off the lights, put on your headphones, and hold your loved ones close.
00:27This is My Wife's Memories.
00:30David and Lara had what looked like a perfect marriage.
00:34They lived in a cozy house at the edge of a quiet town.
00:39David worked as a freelance writer.
00:42Lara was a teacher, gentle and kind.
00:46For twelve years, they laughed over coffee every morning and read old books every night.
00:52They had no children by choice, they de-say, though sometimes Lara's eyes drifted to the empty room down the hall.
01:02Their love seemed unbreakable, until Lara began to forget.
01:07It started small.
01:09Lara misplaced her keys, left the oven on, called David by a name he didn't recognize, Michael.
01:16David thought it was stress, or maybe, early memory loss.
01:22But then, Lara began to remember things that never happened.
01:26Arguments they never had, trips they never took, secrets David swore he never told her.
01:34One night, she asked him about a cabin in the woods.
01:38David laughed it off.
01:40They'd never owned a cabin.
01:42But Lara grew quiet and whispered,
01:45You promised me we'd never go back there.
01:48Days turned to weeks.
01:50Lara began waking up, screaming, crying about voices in the walls.
01:56She said she could see a child, a little boy, standing in the doorway of the empty room.
02:02David tried to comfort her.
02:05He told her they never had a child, but Lara insisted,
02:09He's ours.
02:10His name is Adam, don't you remember?
02:14David felt the world slip sideways.
02:17At first, he blamed stress, fatigue, his own guilt, for never giving her the family she wanted.
02:24But, when he started seeing the boy too, just a flicker at the corner of his vision,
02:30he knew something was deeply wrong.
02:33Desperate, David searched through old boxes in the attic.
02:37He found old videotapes from their wedding, their early years.
02:42But there, hidden behind the boxes, was an unlabeled tape.
02:47When he played it, he saw Lara, younger, holding a baby.
02:52She was singing a lullaby to a boy with dark hair.
02:56David watched himself on the tape, too, smiling, rocking the baby to sleep.
03:01But David didn't remember any of it.
03:05Shaking, he asked Lara where the tape came from.
03:08She only whispered,
03:10You made me forget.
03:12You promised it would be better if we both forgot.
03:16Memories flooded back like poison.
03:18David remembered the cabin in the woods, the argument, the accident.
03:24He remembered the cold ground, the shallow grave, the way they both decided never to speak of Adam again.
03:32He remembered finding a man who promised he could take the pain away.
03:37He didn't want Lara to live with the guilt, so he made her forget.
03:41But memories have a way of clawing back when you least expect them.
03:47And some debts can never truly be buried.
03:50One night, Lara stood at the doorway of the empty room, staring at the corner.
03:56He wants to come home, she whispered.
03:59David begged her to stop, to come back to bed, to forget again.
04:04But Lara turned to him with tears in her eyes and said,
04:08We can't forget him again, David.
04:11He's waiting for us.
04:13The next morning, David woke up alone.
04:16Lara was gone.
04:17And at the edge of the woods, near where the old cabin once stood,
04:22fresh footprints sank into the damp soil.
04:25Two sets of footprints.
04:28One large, one impossibly small.
04:32David never found Lara.
04:33Some nights, the neighbors swear they hear lullabies, drifting from the empty house.
04:40If you walk past the window at night, you might see a woman standing there,
04:45cradling something in her arms, singing softly to a child no one remembers.
04:52They say, memories fade for a reason.
04:55But some things, some people, refuse to be forgotten.
