erase the memories

Yoon-sung Lee 04/09 near Recolle

I thought the first hallucination was just something my brain made up from stress. I broke up with a girlfriend, had a game in the final stages of preparations, and spent about two hours a day getting tossed around by my bodyguard while training. Such things are bound to make the mind think up all sorts of weird images and insist on them being right. But after the last two I've gotten, I think that I've joined the rest of the masses with annoying images that feel right even if they aren't a reality that I know. Some of the faces look almost like a couple people from home especially the man being called 'General'. Is that the same with other people? Having people in those halluncinomemories things that are also here and now? I'm also wondering a little... If you were shown a picture of a jungle area with a group of men in combat gear guarding a bunch of natives working with chemicals, would you immediately think drugs being made or would you think something else was going on?

there was my old babysitter in houston?
i’d totally forgotten about her until she showed up in one of those hallucinomemories

That sounds like a random connection, doesn't it? I mean I know the people I've seen are close family or friends of family, but someone you didn't remember sounds kinda of weird.

[commandertoolbelt]

i mean i remember her NOW, just
not that specific memory i guess? like that definitely didn't happen
i figured it was just an out of sight out of mind thing

[vendettastool]

I get it I guess. I mean a couple things I had could have happened but I know the last one didn't. Even if the person involved is someone I've known since birth.

[commandertoolbelt]

yeah exactly
it gets weirder and weirder
like where would these fake memories even be coming from if they didn't really happen, anyway?

[vendettastool]

I was blaming over-saturation of media making something up in our minds from some kind of hidden influence of the app, but it sounds too sci-fi. Maybe there is something more going on that we don't know yet.

[commandertoolbelt]

and here i was thinking we were all just going nuts

honestly though i don’t think you’re that far off the mark
if they weren’t hiding something the retrospec building wouldn’t be booby trapped

Too many random factors to have just one source of our craziness.

I just wish there were a couple other people that can confirm or deny. And I mean doctors. I'm just a code jockey that has worked in too many video games. I don't have a real PhD in the mind. Just computers.

[commandertoolbelt]

yeah i guess you're right

most of the people i've talked to about this stuff are, like, in college or high school like me. if it's really that random, there has to be a doctor getting hit by this too, right? statistically speaking, i mean.

[vendettastool]

You would think. Maybe the reason why it is hitting people younger then me more is the fact that most young people are still learning who they are.

I mean they still haven't figured out what they are going to do and how to face the world kind of way, so they are already at an unstable point in life.
