Fragments of the Forgotten
Ch 1
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
*Walking inside the lab wearing her white coat
A celebrated Neuroscientist
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Hello doctor
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Is everything ready?
A memory retrieval device
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Yes doctor
Elina slowly walked into the room at the right corner inside her lab.
Ava also took the files scattered on her desk and followed her inside.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
No one was here right?
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
(looking at Elina's eyes)
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
No one
Elina nodded her head and looked beside her.
There it was...Chronos... A memory retrieving device
A white colored helmet like device consisting of many wires which is used for attaching on the head. On the center of it, near the forehead, there was a clock like device which was currently still, not moving at all.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(picked up the Chronos)
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Are you sure?
Ava was a bit scared because Elina was using it for the first time after its completion. Even if it was Elina's own invention there was no guarantee that it will work. There was high chance of brain damage.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(Putting on the Chronos)
Elina signaled Ava to turn on the machine.
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
(click)
With a whoosh sound the Chronos started. The clock in the middle started to rotate here and there.
The red light coming from the inside of Chronos scanned Elina's brain sending electrical impulse through neural pathways.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(clench her eyes due to the pressure in her brain)
after some time Eva reached to a dream like state and something started flashing to her eyes.
Elina found herself in an unfamiliar place....
It was all blurry, not clear at all...
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(Grip the chair tighter)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(feels difficult to breathe)
An unfamiliar sound resounded in the room making Elina come back to the reality
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(exhales a deep breathe)
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Doctor
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Are you alright?
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
(passing a glass of water)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(takes a sip)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(nods)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I am alright. No need to worry.
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Well… How was it?
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Did you see something?
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
What happened?
Ava Sinclair(FL's Assistant)
Any discomfort?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(shake her head)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Just a slight pressure on the brain.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Nothing more
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Everything was black
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
No flashbacks, no memories
Eva started writing the details on her report
Chronos is an invention of Ellina.
Elina Moreau, confident but emotionally distant woman in her early 30s.
She had been researching about this technology for more than 7 years, and now it is ready to use.
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
If it had just been invented, then why is she using it to experiment on herself?
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
Is she really confident in herself?
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
Is there nothing wrong with the invention?
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
or is there any other reason?
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
Stay tuned....byeee
Ch 2
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(Grabs her hair with both hands and rest her elbow in her knees)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What was that?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Was that a memory which I forgot?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
But..
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
How could that be?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
How could I forget anything?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I am a neurologist
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
And I have a photographic memory
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I never forget anything
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
then...
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
WHAT REALLY WAS THAT?
After thinking calmly for some minutes
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I should check it tommorow
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Maybe there was some glitch in the system.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(looks at the sceen in the phone)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Argh...This Hayes
She was going to cut the call, but something snaps in her mind
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(shocked)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(wipes out the hair from her face with her shaking hands)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
No...no..NO
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
This is not true
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I can't be the murderer
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
This is not right
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
That Hayes is not right
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(sipping her coffee and waiting for the man to speak)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
So Ms. Moreau
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I prefer Ms. Elina or Dr. Elina
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
You can also address me as a Doctor
Michael Hayes(Detective)
(Looks at her)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I will keep that in mind Ms. Elina
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(nods)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
So when did the great detective get time from his huge pile of work that you came to talk to this Doctor?
Michael Hayes(Detective)
(sips his coffee and put it down the table)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I would not have come here
Michael Hayes(Detective)
But…
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Look, the situation is like this
Michael Hayes(Detective)
My HUGe pile of work will be completed with this meeting
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Can the great detective care to explain?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Why your huge pile of work will be completed talking to a neurologist like me?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Is it related to neuroscience?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I may look free with no work in my hands, but I am working on a really important thing, and I am really, really busy.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
So I don't have time for next few months
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I cannot be your help Mr. Hayes
Michael Hayes(Detective)
...
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Do you know Marcus?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Marcus, the reporter?? Who died two years ago??
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Who would not know about that?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
This case was on the television for more than two days.
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Yes and we have not fond out about the murderer yet
Elina casts a questioning gaze to Michael
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Was the case not disclosed?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
We all heard that the murderer was his brother and he police have captured them.
Michael gazes at Elina for few seconds
Michael Hayes(Detective)
(puts his one leg over another)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Are you really innocent or acting innocent?
Elina's hand stopped in the midair, and she looked at Michael confusingly
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(put the cup on the table)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What do you mean?
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Nothing much
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(sips)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I just mean to say that you are the murderer
As soon as michael said that Elina chocked on her coffee and started coughing heavily
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(coughing)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(looks directly into his eyes)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
WHAT!!!
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
Enjoyed it?
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
This is my first time writing something that is in my mind as a story
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
So let me know where I can make improvements
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
I am open to any criticism
Ch 3
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What!!!
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Hey Mister
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Are you out of your mind?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
If you don't mind, I want to check the condition of your brain
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Well Miss
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I don't need your checkup
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I am sure
Both were looking straightly into each other eyes. The atmosphere was tense and no one was ready to back up. All the other people in the café also started looking at them.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
On what basis?
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Huh?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
On what basis are you sprouting this nonsense?
Elina raised one of her eyebrows and stared at him questioningly
Michael opened the zip of his small black bag and took out something from it
Michael Hayes(Detective)
(place the knife and a small cup handle on the table)
Michael Hayes(Detective)
This
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What is this?
Michael Hayes(Detective)
These are the things which are from the place where murder happened.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What does it have to do with me?
Michael Hayes(Detective)
These things have your fingerprints
Elina's eyes enlarged for a second before getting into its normal form. She was really puzzled. What is the connection between that murder and how did the things on the table have her fingerprints in it.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(Exhales)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Look Mr. Hayes
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I don't know anything about these
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I am totally unaware of the situation which you are telling me.
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I was not even conscious at that day
Michael cast a confusing gaze at Elina
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Not conscious?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I was unconscious for two days because of over exhaustion
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
And I got to know about the case and the murder on the third day
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Then the news was all wiped away saying that the culprit has been arrested
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I was always busy in the lab working on my technology
Michael was silent for a full minute. He put the things on the table inside his bag and stood up
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I will talk to you later
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Okay
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
And don't come to put a false allegation again
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
and please recheck the fingerprints
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
how did you even get my fingerprints to check
Michael Hayes(Detective)
You don't have to know abot that
Michael Hayes(Detective)
I am leaving
The sound of the phone ringing woke up Elina into reality
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
(click on answer button with her shaky hands)
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
y..yes
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Ms. Elina
Michael Hayes(Detective)
Meet me at the same cafe
Michael Hayes(Detective)
tomorrow
Michael Hayes(Detective)
2 o' clock sharp
Without saying anything Elina cut the connection on her phone and slumped down in the sofa
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
What is happening?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Was I really involved in the murder?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
How can I?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I was unconscious at that time
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
I didn't even know who the Michael is before the murder
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Was the scene from the afternoon true?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Is Chronos working properly?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
or Is there same fault?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
Can Chronos install fake memory and make us believe it's real?
Dr. Elina Moreau (FL)
No...that can't be. I programmed it myself. I know about it.
✨Vespera✨ (Author)
Is the memory real or fabrication?
