About this listen

A science fiction short story from the author of Side Effects.

I am a blank asset.

After years of physical training and cerebral surgery, I can take on the skills of others through memory grafts.

My mission: an audacious heist on the sixty-seventh floor of a Seoul skyscraper.

The grafts give me what I need; the instincts of a free climber, the reflexes of a martial artist, the logic of a hacker. But they come with baggage: guilt, love, resentment, lives I never lived. As I carry out the mission, I am haunted by pasts that were never mineWhat kind of person would sell their memories?

What kind of person would overwrite their own memories to use them?

Muscle Memory is a 12,500-word standalone short story in a similar universe to Side Effects, exploring the boundaries of memory, manipulation, and identity.
