Eternal Ephemeral

Ann's idea was simple. The information contained within the servers documented people's lives. Places they've been, things they've said and done. All stored as discrete data points in computer memory. Ann's work joined the dots between these data points allowing software to piece together a complete account of these people's lives. Recreating a person's life from beginning to end. She had succeeded many weeks ago in implementing her software on the data set in the servers. But somehow it didn't really feel like progress. She could scroll through someone's entire life history in a matter of minutes, every single moment of it. But a history is all that it was. A life trapped forever in the past. She knew she could go further.
