A short story about post nuclear war
Once i heard a story from a teacher which is unique. I really need to find its title, its going on my nerves. Here is the plot: in the post nuclear war times, a man goes to strange place to find someone who can send people back in time, to live their good moments again. He meets guy, A strange old doctor who claims that he can do such thing, but he needs all the remaining souvenir and tokens from the person who asks for this kind of service, and wont give them back afterwards. The man refuses to give away his souvenirs. He goes back to his family and lives a happy time. Then suddenly he wakes up in the old doctor’s cabinet, realising he gave up and used his souvenir to relive his memories. Old guy asks if he is statisfied with service. He leaves the cabinet for staying alone in his own ruined house in post war. Please let me know if you find the original title.

Hi, welcome to SF&F! You should check out the suggestions for writing story-identification questions and edit additional details into your question. For example, when did you hear this story?
