Reply to comment by HappyHungarian15 in [WP] You wake up, and stumble to the bathroom to pee. You realize you have a tattoo on your arm you didn’t see before. It reads “You have Alzheimer’s. You love your wife. Your name is Keith.” Then you notice your hand, on which is scrawled in sharpie: “THE TATTOOS ARE A LIE”. by benjancewicz

I didn't understand this part, can someone please explain?

Hey! I tried to write it in such a way that it's alluded that Keith was captured and detained in some kind of prison facility, with the reason why being undisclosed to the reader.

Oh, but what's the part about James all about?

James is another prisoner in the cell that Keith is telling the story to.
