Today I went to
my card game thing. Tried out a new deck I made. It worked good
today, but it still needs work. A tournament is coming up so I'm not
sure if I'll use it or try another idea. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Carpooling
In Memory Lane
When technology
was invented to link minds and thoughts people would often visit
other people's memories for their enjoyment. Someone from a far away
country could take someone down their memory lane with them and them
down there's to share experiences neither had. Memory bonding was
often one of the biggest parts of dating in the world of psychics. If
someone left their mind open just by passing them on the street the
chips in their head could transmit pleasant memories or thoughts to
another.
But then there
lived people like Thomas. The contamination in the stream of
thoughts. The bad seed. The dirt in the road of memory lane. Bad
things happened to him. Not his fault. He couldn't help he was
attacked like that. When he was so young too. He couldn't help
thinking about it at times. And it would transmit to other people
automatically because he would lose control of the psychic
technology. The technology that could not be removed without killing
him. So people stayed away from him. They didn't want that frightful
memory inside of them. Eventually he had to be put in isolation. His
parents...even they couldn't handle the memory. The communicated to
him through video chat from behind walls with lead and other alloys
to block the signals. Loneliness joined him and his trauma, as he
communicated only through other technology and eventually forgot the
touch of another person.
He was not the
only case of isolation happening, but he was the first one that
brought massive media attention when he died trying to take out the
chip from his head with a knife they gave him for his food by
himself. In coming years the methodology and all of psychic
technology was questioned as well as what should be said, told, and
heard by everyone by any technological means.
