No. 0714

No. 0714 Is the only thing our heroine has. She has no name. No memory. There is no past. Her body died three years ago, her brain is preserved in a petri dish, and her consciousness is encoded into a data stream that is run repeatedly through twenty-four rounds of testing. She had companions and they were randomly deleted. She had trust, it was a command written into the system. She had love and family affection, and those memories were transplanted from others. The only thing she knew for sure belonged to her was this serial number. It's simple, cold, and unique. It tells a tragedy in one sentence - a person loses his name and only has a series of numbers left. But it also lays down the foreshadowing of hope in one sentence - when you finish reading her story, you will remember this series of numbers. 0714 Is no longer a number. 0714 Is her.
