This choice: A special clinic/company opens business in their surrounding • Go Back...Chapter #3A special clinic/company opens business in thei... by: Emi   It was early in the morning when Martha picked up the mail. She herself wouldn't have called it early. Unlike her kids she has been up for a few hours already and done her fair bit of cooking preparations and cleaning around the house.
And yet it wasn't her who was making a ruckus.
Martha sighed as she carried the post to the kitchen counter and heard her kids fighting again.
She admitted to herself that she felt done with those little egoists.
She spread the former contains of the mailbox and began sorting through it while mumbling:
"Ad, ad, ad, Heather, ad, mine, mine, Andrew, Andrew, Ad-"
She stopped when she stumbled across a flyer for just around the corner.
For the past 4 months Martha has been wondering what they were building such a big place so close to the suburbs for, with the address basically two blogs away.
"Grand Opening" it read followed by "Now congressionally approved in only your state!". Martha couldn't help but think that it sounded slightly shady, but, well, she didn't know what they actually did yet so she looked over the flyer till she found the word "procedures:".
Bellow were listed:
"'Brain removal,
-Brain transfer,
-Brain integration,
-Body modification,
-Special requests"
Martha chuckled since she wasn't exactly sure what else to do. This couldn't be true, certainly, but if it was... Well, she would have had good use for it.
She couldn't find any clue on the flyer about it being a joke. Even the phone number looked like it could be a real one.
Martha stopped herself there. She thought that she wouldn't lose anything by calling this place, so she did while Andrew and Heather didn't get tired of slamming doors at each other.
A friendly feminine voice greeted her:
"Hello, Karen from STnM Inc. her, how may I help you?" Again nothing implied that it was a joke
"Uhm, yeah, here is Martha Fasler" Martha said "and.. I received a flyer with the mail today".
"Do you want to be removed from the receiver list ?" Karen offered right away.
"No no," Martha replied "I was just asking myself if...if you were serious..".
Martha was afraid Karen could act offended but she then heard a small chuckle. Was it a joke after all?
"We are 100% serious" Karen then said "we offer Brain removal, Brain transfer, Brain integration and Body modification as well as certain other things, but those only on request."
"So I could just come over and get my brain put into someone else's head or what?" Martha asked half convinced.
"Well, first we have to remove it from your head" Karen starts to explain "and for that we first turn your brain into a negative of itself so it disconnects from your brain stem and cerebellum, then we crystallize it and pull it out. Crystallized it has a volume smaller than that of a marble, so it works excellent, but this procedure can only be made every 5 months since otherwise it wouldn't separate at the right places and it might end up with a personality mixture and those kinds of procedures haven't been approved of yet."
"So every transfer is for at least 5 months?" Martha asked.
"Not necessarily." Karen answered "there is a second way, the liquidation. But it is a good bit more expensive and time consuming to peform and also transfers the cerebellum, which needs some time to adapt to a new body, but this way you also take some of your physical abilities with you since movement memory and patterns are saved in the cerebellum. Sinceyou have a flyer though it should have come with a coupon for two standard mind transfers, so if I managed to spark your interest you can give it a try, if you are under the age of 21 you need your guardian to request a procedure."
"Thank you, you have helped me a lot" Martha said as the ruckus above slowly quit too.
"You're welcome, good bye" the STnM Inc. employee said before ending the call.
Martha took a deep breath as she stood up straight. She has had an idea what she would do first if this clinic would end up being real.
She put the coupon from the flyer into her pocket and went upstairs to get _________ to drag him/her/them to the STnM clinic.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
