PROLOGUE

Ten years ago, they started doing what was called “The Simulation”. That’s when we thought Virtual Reality went too far. Then came the androids, synthetic material, improved humans. Madness.

People started being taken each month, starting March, 2145. Boy and girl, once, growing up had been an excitement, but now when you were 12, you entered the “competition”.

And one night, they chose me.

And here I am, strapped in a chair while they come in.

I’d forget who I was and everyone I’d met. They would wipe out my memory and plug me in. It’d be like I never existed.

I’ll start a new life, though a not real one. I will never anymore see my family, from now on, I was a test subject, just like the many other people that were taken.

As in “they” they were androids. Needles, plugs, sensors everywhere, a process that would take hours took no more than ten minutes. Goddamn robots.

Then it started.

The Process.

Images danced before my eyes and I knew this was it, there was no more I could do. I was going in. I took and deep breath and said:

“My name is Leo Wright and this is Virtual Reality”

And it was over as soon as it began.

I like your plot, it seems like something much different from writing I've seen. Usually, I am not one for stories like this, although, I might be much more interested now.
However, I believe that you can "show" your readers what is happening without telling them. Create imagery, dialogue, flawless word choice, foreshadowing, and develop your characters. Flashbacks are effective, but use them sparingly. Let the readers come to conclusions, and leave them "hanging off the cliff". With dialogue, refrain from using the word "said". It makes the writing sound dull. I like to use thesaurus.com for things like this :)
Good luck!
