//Remember to Forget to Remember
//An interactive non-linear narrative, Remember to Forget
//to Remember is an application which creates clouds formed 
//from the word remember. Meanwhile, Memories betray their creator
//and Predictions condemn us to a false forever are drawn 
//to the screen. The user can influence color schemes and narrative 
//order with the mouse, but there is no further interaction.
