When the researchers in the Cognitive Mapping Program first began sifting through memories that their volunteers couldn’t consciously recall, they found a really startling image. A creature leering over the volunteer with what could only in the loosest sense be considered a face, with features so alien and hideous that the lab techs wound up needing months of therapy to deal with their initial surprise. It was thought that the monstrosity was a simple image from a nightmare.
That was before similar images appeared in other volunteers…volunteers who had never seen the original.
In fact, out of a pool of 1000, one in every five participants had a similar image locked deep within their minds.
