12 parts Complete Mature"What is wrong with you, Memphis? What the hell happened?"
"I don't know, Houston. Stop asking me so many questions."
"You aren't supposed to remember my name. You aren't supposed to remember anything. Where do the Sabres play? When did our eight week old kitten get killed? Did the Bruins beat the Canadiens last week? What did our father die from?"
"Uh...the Sabres play at KeyBank Center. As for Elliot, he died on June 6, 2042. The B's fell to the Habs 4-1 in Montreal last week, and our father was hit by a car. What do you want, Houston? Why are we turning this into an interrogation room?"
"It's because, Memphis, three days ago was your fourteenth birthday. On that day, all your memories were to be erased, but it didn't work. You seem to remember over half your memories, but you aren't supposed to remember even one."

The year is 2049. Twenty-five years ago, scientists revealed a new plan to make the world a better place. On every person's 14th birthday, their personal memories would be completely erased, leaving them with only basic skills like walking, eating, and breathing and academic skills up to eighth grade level. From several successful tests, scientists determined that without traumatic childhood experiences, people wouldn't have as much built-up anger to release on others. Up until present day, everything has worked. But on August 1, 2049, a girl named Memphis comes back from the MemoCenter in downtown St. Louis remembering nearly everything.
Memphis remembers that she was born in Laval, Canada, to Adeline and Laurent Turcotte, on July 29, 2035. She knows that she became a US citizen when her family moved to Missouri in 2038, and that her 18-year-old brother is Houston. She knows the names of all 32 NHL teams, and worst of all, she remembers every event from her childhood and early adolescence.
If anyone finds out, she will be executed. Will Memphis Turcotte keep her secret, or will this be one thing she forgets?
