Memory Den: A Narrative Fiction
Now I lay me down to sleep.
Agent Marks was unconscious and handcuffed to a bed in the basement of the Memory Den.
It would make for a good story if there had been a shouting match, some quick thinking, and a syringe of a sedative. But realy Allen took two steps after leaving the memory lounger, and promptly fell face first onto the ground.
Fortunately Nick, Piper, and Dr Amari were still quick thinkers, and figured that keeping Allen in a bed would be best for his health. They also figured that he’d be pissed when he woke up, thus, the handcuffs.
“So, what do we do when he wakes up?” Piper asked.
“Pray he isn’t strong enough to break handcuffs” Nick answered.
“Do you think he can actually do that?” Dr. Amari wondered.
“I wouldn't put it past him,” Piper responded.
The trio stood

Amari said firmly “You need to recover.”
“I’ve been over this with Piper, I can handle it.”
“I don’t think a broken arm several gunshots wounds and laser burns is something you can ‘handle’.” Nick scolded.
“Nick let me,” Dr. Amari ordered.
“I’m close, I can feel it.” Allen begged, “I just need to find Virgil.”
“And then what, assuming he both has a way into the institute, and that it doesn’t require the resources of an army. How do you plan on rescuing your son, with a 10MM and a stimpak?”
Despite how far Allen has come since he “woke up” he’s a little light on the pockets. Only surviving on what he’s scavenged. He has barely two caps to rub together, hasn’t had a proper meal in a week (or two hundred years depending on your perspective), and only had enough ammo to last until the next time he killed someone with some he could use.
“I’ll improvise!” Allen shouted starting to pull at his handcuffs.
“Going toe to toe with the Institute isn’t something you improvise, Blue” Piper shouted.
“Piper, let me” Dr. Amari ordered. “I just need my son back,” Allen cried out, “I’m close, I can feel it.”
“Allen, if you get yourself killed than your son will never know you.” Dr. Amari

    Dax’s prognosis for survival was approximately 20%, but his potential quality of life was deeply compromised. He repeatedly requested to die and these requests were all denied. He unsuccessfully attempted suicide by, for example, trying to crawl out of his hospital bed in an attempt to throw himself down the staircase. He was grossly infected by the time he left the hospital and hoped that he would die from sepsis. He didn’t. Against his will, he underwent 232 days of treatment in Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. The types of treatment available at that time we might consider as quite “barbaric”. Immersion in tanks of saline, continuous debridement and medications now considered inappropriate were then the best known way to manage such extensive burn injuries. Also, at that time, there was a great fear that hospitals might inadvertently be producing “drug addicts”, so analgesia was kept at a minimum.…

    “Look this boy’s been kicked around all his life. You know- living in a slum, his mother dead since he was nine. He spent a year and a half in an orphanage while his father served a jail term for forgery. That’s not a very good head start. He had a pretty terrible 16 years. I think maybe we owe him a few words. That’s all.”…

    Total Recall is a movie based on Philip K. Dick’s story, “We Can Remember it for You Wholesale,” Total Recall is a 1990 dystopian movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, directed by Paul Verhoeven. In order to truly discuss dystopia, we must first define utopia and then in turn dystopia. A utopia is a place, or condition that is ideally perfect in all respects. This applies to its laws, customs, practices, and living conditions. A dystopia by contrast is an anti-utopia, a place in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society is maintained through bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. Dystopias, tend to exaggerate worst-case scenarios, make a criticism about a current trend, societal norm, or political system.…

    I was thinking to myself why would a band name them selves after a location of the lateral ventricle in the brain. The name Hippocampus sounded absurdly strange to me, and not in the slightest form appealing. I rode in the gold 1999 Monte Carlo with a dent in the side, sitting in a shaking earthquake due to the sub woofer in the back. My brother Jon revealed one of the exotic bands songs, and the lyrics made an extremely lack of sense to me. I found myself against the fact that Jon wants me to go to the concert with him. I couldn’t possibly imagine myself in front of this unique inhumane music. I was unaware of the significance Hippocampus had in my future, I was as blind as a bat.…
