I Read Stories: The Last Truth by AnaMarie Curtis

The Last Truth by AnaMaria Curtis in Tor.com

There are Truth Locks on the cargo on the ship and the only way to open them, if you aren’t supposed to, is to give a truth you’ve never told anyone. But every such truth erases part of you, part of your memory.

Eri works for Mareck who insists she opens every lock on board the ship. But to do that will use all her truths, and all her memory. But it’s not just the rich and powerful aboard. There are musicians, locked away from their instruments, because the magic of music is too powerful.

Eri and Anea the violinist meet and maybe, maybe there’s a way out and through.
