Allegorically haunting

Themes of loss, death, and abusive relationships all swirl around the Orwellian-tinged Memory Police who enforce the rule: forget or suffer unspeakable consequence. Touching and haunting, the tale weaves in a story-within-a-story asking about the place that art has in the universe; will the story still exist when the mind that composed it has passed on?
