The Lost Memory Capsule

Write a story about a scientist who invents a “memory capsule” – a device capable of storing every precious memory – only to discover one day that it’s missing.

The puzzler for this prompt is twofold: mysteries of the physical where is the capsule and the psychological why and when was it taken. This prompt brings scientific innovation and familiarity with human emotion together, probing questions like what role should science play in our lives? Can/should we save every memory? Or perhaps forgetting is a crucial part of being human?
