The table is waiting for three pieces
When all three pieces are on the table, a short possible memory will be stitched here — plausible, domestic, and slightly wrong in the way memories often are.
Every memory here has two threads: the pieces you handed over, and the connective tissue the table made up to hold them together. Opening the seam marks which is which. Replacing it puts your pieces back in their drawers.

What is known, what is guessed, what is made up
Human memory is reconstructive rather than a recording: recollection is assembled at the moment of recall. Studies of remembering the past and imagining specific future events find that the two draw on strongly overlapping cognitive systems.
From that overlap, it is reasonable — but not settled — to suppose that recollection and prediction share some of the same constructive machinery, and that a remembered scene and an expected one may be built by similar means.
This table, its three drawers, every fragment in them, each stitched memory, and the note reading “Save me the blue cup. —M.” are fiction, written for this Station. Nothing here suggests memories arrive from the future, and no result on this page is a finding.

Two tables were built from one thought
The same sentence was handed to another mind, with the same brief and the same blank afternoon. It built something else entirely. When you've held one memory long enough to see how it was joined, you can go and compare the workshops.
Assemble a memory and open its seam first.
