an·am·ne·sis
noun, plural -ses  (-seez)

the recollection or remembrance of the past; reminiscence.


Patient 83067 does not remember anything except for pain. It's burning hot and ice cold. It sears her skin and rips screams from her lips. Her life is nothing but pain and a wall of black fog in her mind. She has no name, only a number. Until he looks at her with familiar eyes and a warm smile. Then Patient 83067 begins to remember.
