The machines surrounding Allen whirred to life, their screens flashing with data and readings. Dr. Taylor's eyes gleamed with anticipation as she raised a small device, its tip pointed directly at Allen's forehead."Shit!!" "I really have to get back my memory, I was at the brink at remembering who I am, why the heck can't I remember who I am!" Allen berated himself internally. "This is the final stage," Dr. Taylor said, her voice dripping with excitement. "We're going to push your mind to the limit, see how much you can really handle."Allen's thoughts were a jumbled mix of fear and desperation. He knew he had to resist, but his body was numb, his mind trapped.The device emitted a high-pitched whine, and a blinding light shot out, enveloping Allen's head. He felt his mind being pulled apart, his thoughts shredded by some unseen force.Dr. Taylor's voice was a distant echo, her words indistinguishable from the cacophony of pain and fear that filled Allen's mind.And then, everythin
Allen's feet pounded the pavement, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he continued to run. He had no idea where he was going, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he needed to keep moving. As he ran, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the sunglasses, slipping them onto his face.At first, nothing seemed to change. But then, something strange began to happen. As he looked through the lenses, the familiar streets and buildings around him started to stir a deep memory. He slowed his pace, his mind racing with fragments of recollection.Wait, hadn't he turned left up ahead before? And wasn't there a big oak tree on the corner of his street? The memories were hazy, but they felt real.With growing excitement, Allen picked up his pace again, his feet carrying him in a direction he hadn't consciously chosen. But as he ran, the memories grew stronger, more vivid. He remembered the way the sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the sidewalk. He remembered th
Stephanie was sitting on the couch, watching Allen move around the place when her eyes landed on his face. She froze, her gaze fixed on the huge bandage that covered almost half of his face. How had she not seen that before? She wondered, feeling a surge of concern. He had walked in hours ago, and she had been so caught up in the shock of seeing him that she hadn't even noticed."Allen, what happened to your face?" she asked, her voice soft with worry.Allen's movements faltered for a moment before he turned to face her. His expression was flat, unyielding. "I had an accident," he said, his voice curt.Stephanie's eyes narrowed. That was it? No explanation, no details? She knew her brother well enough to recognize when he was hiding something."What kind of accident?" she pressed, her voice firmer now.Allen's jaw clenched, his eyes flashing with a warning. "Just an accident, Steph. Drop it."Stephanie's instincts screamed at her to push further, but something in Allen's expression m
Stephanie helped Allen into the hot bath, trying to relax his tense muscles. As he settled in, she noticed that he was moving slowly, his actions labored. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, concern etched on her face. Allen nodded, his eyes closed. "Yeah, I'm fine." But Stephanie wasn't convinced. She had never seen her brother like this before. He was always so full of energy, so vibrant. Now, he seemed drained, exhausted and she knew that it wasn't because of his injury. As she helped him wash his body, he suddenly leaned forward, his body convulsing. Stephanie rushed to grab a towel as he threw up, the water splashing everywhere. "Oh my god, Allen!" she exclaimed, alarm rising. "You need to see a doctor!" But Allen shook his head, his face pale. "No, I'm fine. Just...just tired." Stephanie frowned, unconvinced. "Tired? You're throwing up, Allen! Something's wrong!" But Allen refused to listen, his jaw set in a stubborn line. "I said I'm fine, Steph. Drop it." Stephanie sighed
Allen's eyes snapped open, his heart racing as he gasped for air. He was met with an unfamiliar ceiling and the beeping of machines. He tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his head, forcing him back onto the pillow."What...where am I?" he stammered, looking around the hospital room.A nurse rushed to his side, a warm smile on her face. "Mr. Allen, you're in the hospital. You've been in an accident."Allen's memories were hazy, but he recalled a strange dream - a dream that felt more real than his current surroundings. He shook his head, trying to clear the fog."I don't want to be here," he said, his voice firm. "I want to leave. Now."The nurse's expression turned sympathetic. "I'm afraid that's not possible, Mr. Allen. You need to rest and recover."Allen's gaze turned cold. "I don't care about your rules. I want out of here."He threw off the covers and swung his legs over the side of the bed, despite the pain and dizziness. The nurse tried to assist him, but Allen shru
"Please, Doctor," Allen begged, his voice cracking with desperation. "Don't let them take me. I'll do anything. Just please, don't let them." Dr. Thompson's expression softened, seeing the genuine fear in Allen's eyes. He looked at Agent Jackson, who was watching the exchange with an unreadable expression. "What's going on here?" Dr. Thompson demanded. "What do you want with Allen?" Agent Jackson's gaze didn't waver. "I've already told you, Doctor. Allen's in danger. We need to take him into protective custody." But Allen was shaking his head, his eyes wild with fear. "No, no, no. You don't understand. They'll kill me. They'll make me disappear." Dr. Thompson's doubts were growing. Something wasn't right here. He looked at Allen, seeing the desperation in his eyes. "I'm not going to let you take him," Dr. Thompson said finally, his voice firm. "Not until I know what's going on. Allen, can you tell me what's happening?" Allen's eyes locked onto Dr. Thompson's, filled with
As he burst through the doors, he saw a figure in the distance. It was Allen, standing in the shadows, his eyes fixed on something in the distance. Dr. Thompson rushed towards him, but as he reached his side, Allen turned to him, his eyes filled with a warning. "Don't trust anyone," he whispered, before disappearing into the night once again. Dr. Thompson was left standing alone in the hospital corridor, his mind reeling with questions. What did Allen mean by "don't trust anyone"? Who was behind the sinister forces that seemed to be closing in on them? He decided to investigate further and started by reviewing Allen's medical records. As he scrolled through the files, he noticed something strange - a small notation in the corner of one of the pages, almost imperceptible. It read: "Project Erebus". Dr. Thompson's heart skipped a beat. What was Project Erebus? He knew he had to find out. He began to dig deeper, searching for any mention of the project in the hospital's databa
Dr. Thompson sat at his computer, his hands shaking slightly as he inserted the hacking tool into the USB port. He took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the empty office before focusing on the screen.The device sprang to life, its interface flashing on the monitor. Dr. Thompson's fingers flew across the keyboard, his mind racing with the possibilities.As he navigated the hospital's mainframe, he stumbled upon a hidden folder labeled "Project Erebus". His heart skipped a beat.With trembling hands, he opened the folder, revealing a trove of classified documents and video files. Dr. Thompson's eyes widened as he began to read, his mind reeling with the implications.The documents detailed a secret government program aimed at developing mind control techniques using advanced neuroscience and psychology. The test subjects were patients with traumatic brain injuries, deemed "expendable" by the program's administrators.Dr. Thompson felt a wave of horror wash over him. He had to act fast.
