A Piece Of My Heart

Idea for a Story

I've had a spark of inspiration for a story today, and wanted to jot it down before it was lost. If you find yourself reading this, please let me know your thoughts in the comments or in a review. I'd love to hear them!

In 2018, Jonathan Towne and his wife Valerie elect to have their brains cryogenically preserved with the promise of being awoken in the future when the technology exists. However, when Jon is revived and finds that his wife's cryo chamber was compromised and she had to be woken 40 years earlier, it becomes a race to find her in the unfamiliar and sinister world of 2353 (goal). Meanwhile, in a planet shattered by the devastating effects of a mysterious plague, the ALTO Corporation makes a substantial profit selling memories from "Returners" to the highest bidder (subplot). If Jon doesn't find Val in time, she may have all her memories of him stolen (consequence). To find her, Jon must infiltrate the ALTO Corporation's upper echelon and pursue the band of rebel "Nons" living in the wastes in search of leads to his wife (requirements). But at each turn, Val seems further and further away and the ALTO Corporation's control and power is growing (forewarnings).

Any thoughts welcome!
