Forgetting By Force

Did you ever dream about wiping your brain of everything you've done? So you wouldn't have to get the embarrassing or horribly sad memories flash at unexpected times just to ruin your mood. Only remember the necessities like walking and running, lessons in class, a book you've read, even maths. Someone found a chemical that can effect any part of the human body you wish it to. And so the government shipped it out, only people that held grudges against the government or people who were perpetually insane thinking aliens were coming, ran.
Now the government holds more control over the world.
At the age of seventeen you memory will be wiped, only the necessities needed will be left.
But you won't remember you family; your mother and father won't remember you either.
Your friends? Who are they? You wouldn't know...
Only the feeling of the memory is needed. The feeling of not being alone.
So the drug is shipped into every building. At night the gas comes through the air vents, air conditions and any other source.
Waking up, you wont remember who you had met yesterday... So wants the point in trying to talk to anyone.
Only the necessities. So you can focus on making this world a better place for generations to come.
