Nobody’s Going To Notice the Difference

Daryl stepped on gravel in his backyard and heard a non-distinct voice and footsteps following him; then, he heard someone else eating too during breakfast.

"Doctor Fredrick, after brain surgery, I hear a ghost following me ... Am I going crazy?"

Dr. Fredrick spoke to the investor’s representative—"I'm afraid I'll need to remove the implant. It's created a carbon copy of Daryl’s mind in his exocortex."

"Doctor, human trials must succeed. Your investor’s poured millions into this."

"What else can I do?" asked Dr. Fredrick.

"That's obvious, Doctor—neutralize the offending grey matter. Nobody’s going to notice the difference."
