| Summary | "Bad Memory" by Patrick Fahy is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The story explores themes of identity, transformation, and the complexities of love across different species. It revolves around the protagonist's journey as he purchases a planet and undergoes a radical metamorphosis that alters his very nature. The narrative follows Ex-vector Commander Jim Channing, who, seeking to buy a planet, ends up transforming himself into a Jube, an alien species, in pursuit of wealth and a new life as a farmer. After five years as a Jube, Channing experiences profound happiness through a deep connection with Aln Muh, another transformed individual, only to have his human memories fade. When he reverts back to his human form, he faces the bittersweet reality of losing his previous life and the love he found as a Jube. Ultimately, the story grapples with the sacrifices involved in seeking a better life, leading to an exploration of what one truly values and the cost of obtaining it.
