I pick up speed as I race through the alpine forest, the stray twigs snapping as I brush pass them. I easily outrun them, not because of my speed, but because of my agility. I barely even touch the ground other than to take a few steps, ready to bounce back into the trees. I navigate the branches well, weaving in and out, swinging from branches and vines like a spider monkey or orangutan. As I glide gracefully through the treetops, my pursuers struggle to break through the dense scrub below, I’ve outrun them.

I stop my travel and descend to the forest floor. I calculate it will take a minimum of 48 seconds for them to reach me, I have to move fast. I burry myself beneath a thick bush, and take out the little plastic tub from my pocket and screw off the lid.

42 seconds.

There are 12 little compartments in the tub, all different sizes, all holding 1 or more coloured pills. The only one I’m focusing on is the black one, the only one there. I take it from its compartment and raise it to my lips.

39 seconds.

I try to force the little black pill into my mouth, but my fingers won’t let it go. I stay like that for a long time, trying so hard to let it fall into my stomach. This pill is all I have to depend on right now, it’s the only thing I can trust.

23 seconds.

I set my eyes on the pill tub, 12 compartments, and 31 pills in total, including the one I can’t seem to swallow. I place the black pill gently back into its own compartment and lightly touch the single blue one. Considering it.

18 seconds.

I take out the blue pill. It’s definitely not the same as the black pill, very different effects, but could it still deliver what I want? I want my pursuers to leave me be, they want what’s in my head, but what if what’s in my head was no longer there? Would they leave me? It’s certainly a lot less violent than what the black pill does.

13 seconds. They’re coming.

I raise the hand that holds the pill to my lips and I find it much easier to swallow. I close the lid and shove it back into my pocket; I then hunker down and await my possible capture.

8 seconds. I hear them.

I feel the effects of the pill start in my body; it’s very fast acting, as with all the pills I possess.

4 seconds. They’re here.

I feel my mind start to slip, my consciousness fade out.

The attackers pass by me, but they are at least 4 metres out and don’t see me. I wonder what they are chasing now.

I relax now and let the pill do its duty, as it undoes all my life’s work, take away all the people I knew, removes any home I once knew. Everything that was ever held in my mind is being permanently removed by the irreversible memory removal or IMR pill that I have just taken.

I stare into the sky through the twigs that cover my head, and let myself fall unconscious. It’s done. I’m gone.
