Plunged in a dystopic future where the border between real and virtual is fading, Josie, a young student, finds herself with no memory of her closest friends. At school everything seems normal, except for a small detail: the corridors are empty, classrooms are cold and sterile, and the teachers have disappeared. Josie’s friends are concerned, since she doesn’t seem to recognise them any more, as if part of her memory had been rewritten. A science fiction short story born within project PCTO school-work alternation 5IPA of the school year 2023-2024 at the professional institute L. Galvani of Trieste.
