recallvertigo

The phone is dead, out of reach, or left at home, and a simple question — that actor's name, what time the reservation — produces genuine distress. Recallvertigo is dependence felt at the moment of severance, the moment the outsourced memory stops answering.
Etym. — *recall* + *vertigo*; the somatic spin of reaching for a memory that is not there.
