Anna came home with a manila file; their house did not have a number so Jim had to get his mail at the post office. They checked every second day for mail from John and today they received the first. Jim sat on the coach and opened the file, inside was a book, a crumpled folder with pictures and a letter. John threw everything else aside and read the letter first.                                                                   Dear Jimmy

I don’t have much to say, you can probably guess how’s it been here. First things first though I met the old man and he was great. He’s a cuckoo scientist, funny, quite the party animal back when partying was the norm. I had a lot of fun with him and decided not to ask about the voice in my head. There’s a folder with pictures and pages torn out of a journal I threw away, you don’t have to read all of it except the last page and I suggest you sit down and take something before reading it too. Jim it’s been a blast hanging with you and I’m glad we left for the music festival.

I’m gonna keep going, ride this out you know, See you around man.

 

Jim read the files and definitely needed to smoke something after that. He looked at the book, On the road by Jack Kerouac, the book that started it all. He flipped through the book and found the torn out journal page John was talking about, the last and most important bit. After reading the last page Jim felt mostly happy for his friend, John had found the answers, he was living a wonderful life with an amazing gift and a spectacular new outlook on life very few people had the chance to know or see. Anna grabbed the page from his hand and read it, after locating all test subjects; we have discovered that activated sub-conscious has increased cognitive function and unlocked unlimited amount of potential in subjects. The project has been officially terminated due to the loss of all test subjects, the genes in the body could not be changed to accommodate the increased brain activity as such the body and mind ages or wears out faster. We predict that after activation the subject has roughly two to three years before complete shutdown.
