This one is on the disturbing side of SF, though not severely so. A veteran is dying of the war they fought, in an unusual way. Not in combat. Much of the story is description leading up to the moment of the reveal. A doctor has found a way to infect people with memories via a virus, but it requires some sacrifice to get the memories into that form. Our veteran is making it. Lots of possibilities here, this could go wrong in so many ways, and they know it too. I think that would be the end of our species as thinking beings--we'd never know again when a thought was ours. The leadup is pretty believable too. Good stuff!
