Memory Wipes

"........and so I request you to let me be a part of this program.

Sincerely, 

Johnathan Letters " 

Sealing it with a mild thud, John set out to post the letter to Futureinc. The biomed company had come up with a new trial and ever since John had heard about it, he knew he HAD to be a part of it. 

A few weeks back, John had found a copy of the news daily lying on the park bench. Bored, he picked it up and soon his eyes fell on the new clinical trial that Futureinc had proposed. It was dangerous, but John knew he had nothing to lose. 

The trial had been nicknamed 'Memory Wipes' by the media and soon everyone was talking about it. The company had invented a new drug that could remove memories as far as six months to 5 years in the past. They hadn't listed any side effects, but that was because they hadn't done a human trial yet. This made the trail prized and expensive as well. 

Would someone be willing to lose their memory for a trial? What if your memory never came back? Or if you began to remember the smallest of details in life? John did not fear this. Nor did he want the money or house that they were offering to the person who goes through the trial.

Futureinc's only requirement was that it had to be a male, between the age of 28-40 and he had to be single (how convenient!). John couldn't personally go over to their office (even though it was only six blocks away) because that would mean he would have miss time at work and that would mean he loses money. 

Pinning his hope on the long letter that he had written to Prof.McDaniel, sharing in detail the experiences that he wanted to forget and nothing but such a trial can help him get on with life. John had been completely honest in sharing details, only hoping that the panel would pick him and no one else. 

John dropped the letter into the postbox and sat besides it, recollecting the exact moments from the past 3 years that he would want to erase at any cost.
