READ EVERY DAY
May 10, 2013
Day 01
John's doctor suggested we write journals. For the whole remembering thing. Here's the first entry to start us off,
My Dear John, In summary, your hippocamal ruptured. You got hurt. You should have know John, you're much more fragile like this! Take care of yourself more, for me. A hippocamal rupture distorts your short term memory, every day you will wake up thinking it was that day… That day when we almost died. I told you, you can't just approch hostile aliens like that anymore. You don't have regeneration powers or the time vortex or the TARDIS to help you. You still have me but I can't heal you completely.
I'm safe.
I'm absolutely fine. You went unconsious after the Judoon shot you but you were lucky enough to live. I wasn't hurt badly, a few scratches but that's a day's work. All healed up in a day or two. The doctor said you should try to read through this every day. It'll tell you what's happened. The sonic screwdriver replica by the computer is a recording device. So you can record things we say and have the computer type it up for you as you sleep. You'll be very dependant on this computer so keep it safe. Read your to do list, flip to your page and place the bookmark. Always remind yourself to read back.
With love,
Rose
I haven't been told too much about this whole hippocampal thing yet. It has to do with memory Rose told me. Well… You're name is John Smith. Your age is somewhere around 900 and, in a way, you used to be a time lord called the Doctor. Time lords have two hearts and regeneration abilities. You escaped from the Time War and Ah, Rose said I'll just forget each day so you already know all that. I'm not sure what else to say. Well then.
Night,
John

Day 02
-
Hello John. You were very quiet today. All you told me is that the last memory you'll be able to retain is me getting hurt. Don't be such a pessimist, I wasn't hurt and you're alive…You didn't eat today. You need to eat John, humans eat at least three times a day.
With love,
Rose
You'll get used to it she says. How can I get used to it if every day I forget? How will I bear having my waking moment filled with the fear of Rose getting hurt every single day?
I didn't sleep, but I still forgot some things. I don't know what else to do.
Night,
John
