One evening Sherla’s friend walked by a bar. To her astonishment, she saw the latter enter the place. When she asked Sherla about this the next day, the girl stared at her uncomprehendingly and said that she must have been mistaken. Sherla added that she was very tired the previous night and must have fallen asleep the moment she got home because she could not even remember if she had had dinner. She also insisted that she did not go out although she does not understand why she feels as if she has had no sleep at all. Her friend shrugged it off thinking that perhaps her eyes might have deceived her and that it was really not Sherla she saw.

Why did they appear very cozy and intimate? More importantly, how could she have gone somewhere and not remember it? These questions made her realize that she may have a gap in her memory.
