Elias felt a sharp, cold sting at the base of his neck. He looked at his hands and realized he couldn't remember his mother’s middle name. Then he couldn't remember the name of his first dog. Every time the video buffered, a year of his life vanished into the cloud.

But as they delved deeper into their memories, they started to realize that their recollections weren't entirely accurate.
