[ WP ] Memory erasing tech is now common . A man has large self inflicted gaps in his memory that is he desperate to know more about , but a note from himself keeps him from doing it . when he finally does , the reason is something he would have never expected .

`` Thank you for your business!'' The voice behind me said as I walked out of the clinic. It was a bit out of the way, tucked in a little strip mall on the south side of town but the staff was polite and dedicated to what they did. 
 
 I began to walk, putting my hands in the pockets of my jacket to keep them warm in the early morning air. I thought of all of the people in this city who go about their day to day lives never thinking that such a clinic could exist or should in some cases. Going to work and toiling at their jobs before coming home to their loving families and then starting it all over again. 
 
 I pull out the business card that has marked such a turning point in my life. It's a simple card, just the name of the clinic, but it's my hand writing on the back that's what started all of this: `` If it ever becomes too much''. 
 
 Everyone had things that they wanted to forget. Some were the minor things in life: jealousy of a friend, anger over a slovenly spouse, the desire and temptation to steal. Other things however were life changing: The death of a daughter, cheating on a wife, killing. If someone could remove the memories of the action or even what caused them to do it, would it make them a better person inside? Would it help them through the hard parts of life? Would it even matter in the end? 
 
 The dawn was peeking over the tops of the buildings as I reached my destination. I walked up the steps and through the heavy double doors. The lobby was empty as usual at this time of day but they would come. I walked through the aisles to my booth and sat down. As I closed the door, a voice from beside me said, `` Forgive me father for I have sinned.''
