Forgotten
Historical fiction has a foundation of truth but that truth is often
shrouded in fiction. Some claim that only time and distance can separate
the two.
We have all lived through events that have shocked or changed our nation.
The
assassination of Martin Luther King, or John and Robert Kennedy, men
traveling into space, and landing on the moon, and of course the bombing
of the World Trade Center; these are just a few examples that have
occurred in my life time. These are the pivotal events that surround us I
and others think we know all of the important facts.
But do we
remember? Ask yourself or a friend what date any of these events
happened on, see if you or they can give the exact date or even some of
the facts surrounding any of these or other major past events of your
lifetime.
Americans are noted for their short memories, we
invented the term "Attention Deficit Disorder" to describe it. We
immerse ourselves in an event for a short time span, then quickly lay
the event aside and move to the next. If those events didn't or don't
affect us directly----they are quickly forgotten.
23 October 1983
is one of those forgotten events. One of those events where we felt we
knew all the facts and then it was quickly forgotten. I ask one simple
question---"Do you really know all of the facts?" There are hundreds of
these events, forgotten by all but those who lived them.
I invite
you to read "Forgotten", separate the history from the fiction. Another
term to remember would be "Plausible Deniability", facts that did
happen are handled in a manner that allows them to be denied by those
who caused them to happen. Separating plausible deniability from fiction
can be almost impossible. At times this is by design of those who use
the term.
When you've finished reading this "Historical Fiction", ask yourself if you have forgotten.
You must decide, what is fact, what is fiction, and what could be plausible deniability shrouding truth.
