Act 5

*** 

On the screen it displayed a young man in a white shirt and red pants was passing by school when a little boy came up to him and asked for directions and afterwards started walking off somewhere together with the man. 

  • I just recently got here, and my sister dropped me off by car this morning so… 
  • It´s okay, I´ve lived for a few years now, I pass through there all the time.  

The man replied while fondly looking down on him and holding a can of cola. 

  • “Want some?” the man asked. 
  • “…. sure” The boy replied hesitantly while thinking. 

*** 

The next thing that appeared on the screen was a brief scene of a shirtless boy laying on the bed as the man slowly started caressing his body before cutting off right there with the screen seeming disappearing into thin air and everything distorted back to the way it was before. 

Even though the screen and people displayed were blurry the moment he saw that it seemed like all the puzzle pieces got connected as he curled up and buried his face as he started sobbing.  

Was it out of guilt or pain that he had been through? She couldn´t tell, but looking at him curling up and sobbing truly made her feel disgusted to her very core. 

  • The screen was blurry since the technology to extract memories is still new but now that the government has given permission to start human tests, I thought you will be a perfect candidate as a death row prisoner to start experimenting.  
  • “What will happen to me now?” The man asked with trembling voice. 
  • We will erase your memory again and restart the simulation, you will continue being the test subject till the day of your death sentence. The woman replied coldly.

A woman in a white lab jacket was walking through the hallway as she took out a small handbook and wrote. 

“Experiment no. 94: False memories; Status: Completed”
