> I want to delve into the mental resouces I have at hand in this group to perhaps discover the title of a book I began reading some unknown time in my life and stopped, for reasons I can't recall. The story has stuck in my mind ever since, however, and I would just like to read the whole thing and finally find out what happens. Unfortunately, I can't recall the title or the author.

She does so, and finds more notes explaining tht the author is herself, and she is receiving treatment that causes her to have amnesia temporarily. The only chance for her to escape was during these states, so she wrote herself a note before the treatment. I stopped reading about the time she was sitting at a bus stop.
Tyler,
Your unfinished story reminds me of a gimmic I used when I taught creative writing to 8th graders a few years back. I would write a few paragraphs of a story, establishing characters and the beginning of a plot. Then I would give each student a copy and ask them to finish it. Some did it in a sentence or two, others went on for many pages. About one in four was pretty good. Sometimes I got a real classic.
May I suggest that you write your own ending? You will probably like it better than the original. And I already know you can write.
