Description:
An elderly man is accepted into a home to receive care- he believes he is just visiting as he is eagerly awaiting his sons arrival to take him fishing. His room is equipped with a voice recognition box (Alexa, Amazon Echo, etc). The man begins experiencing weird visions brought upon by the box itself (fear therapy). Those visions climax with the realization that his son is dead and his deep feelings of guilt had caused his dramatic memory loss, which has now flooded back to him in vivid detail. The doctors are happy that they've cured his Alzheimer's/memory loss, but at what cost? The man now lives with the truth of his painful past.
