The Perfect Daughter Program

My parents, because I wasn't "perfect" enough, implanted an AI chip in me.

They said it would completely transform me.

After the chip was implanted, I became the perfect daughter they'd always dreamed of.

But the side effect was that every day, I'd forget something.

I forgot the taste of Mom's homemade soup.

I forgot my favorite video game.

I forgot my childhood friends.

Eventually, I forgot my parents.

When I saw them again, my eyes were smiling, but I spoke in a cold, mechanical voice, "Excuse me, who are you?"

They froze.
