"What do you mean? I'm your brother, remember?" the stranger said.
"I've never seen you before," Mikey said.
"Then how do you explain this?" the older boy (perhaps 16 or 17 years old) asked. He walked over to a small cabinet in the living room and pointed to a small picture frame sitting upright on it. The photo in the frame showed Mikey and this boy.
Mikey looked at the photo. "But ... that wasn't there before," he said. And it wasn't. He just checked the living room a few minutes earlier and he saw no portraits or photos anywhere. So where did this one come from? Did it just appear out of nowhere?
"Mikey, you're kinda freaking me out here," the teenage boy said. "Are you saying that you don't remember your own brother? Mikey, it's me. Xander," he said, trying to get through to him.
Xander? Mikey didn't know anyone by that name.
