Critique of “THE MEMORY BOOK”

“THE MEMORY BOOK” is written with cryptic and, at times, abstract prose, which makes it difficult to discern what exactly is going on. It seems a woman is very old and her whole body is pulled down by gravity. Towards the end, she unwittingly opens a ‘memory book’ that houses old photos of her father. These photos transform into reality, I believe, and manifest themselves in the real world, or at least she believes they do, and she becomes haunted by her memories, I believe, and commits to a suicidal jump from the window. Just before her jump, she sees her father, or an apparition of her father walking along the walk. This fiction is very cryptic, and it works well to that end, though I think the piece needs a little more work to figure out what it’s trying to say about memory, death and age.
