Amnesia is something that we see in movies and TV so often that we start to forget that it’s a real thing. But it’s happened again, with a man who stumbled out of Discovery Park and flagged a bus, remembering very little about his life. Researchers on the internet were able to discover his name, Edward Lighthart, and piece together a few more tidbits from his life, but I’m sure that’s very little comfort to him. Imagine not being able to remember anything about your past, and then being told who you are but the name has no more familiarity to you than that of a stranger.

Maybe he’ll stick around for a while. There are worse places to wake up than Seattle, after all.
