ahh, the third chapter.
the sunglasses movie is pretty neat, but i'm not sure why it was really needed - Dr. Johnson could've told Tom everything in person without Dr. Appleby having to in the movie sunglasses. i can understand it if you want to keep up the sci-fi ambiance. perhaps it would help if Dr. Appleby went on to explain MentalWorks a little more (unless you're saving that for late). ^^

I added Elise as the speaker in the sunglasses to establish that Tom's memory of her had been erased. The movie is there at all to make it seem more like a real corporation. For instance, Walgreens has the lamest/funniest movies when you start working there. MentalWorks is the name of the government organization that conducts the surgeries. I probably could have made that more clear in chapter one...

This is better than the X-Files, and I never even really watched that show!

good start so far, CS. ^^ aside from general spelling and grammar, i can dig it. Although the paragraph about the boy in the red fog a bit unclear (doesn't take away from the whole story though).
Also, Jean - I assume that is Mr. Johnson? Usually Jean is used as a woman's name - "Gene" is the male equivalent. usually. ^^
Also, i noticed the setting of your paragraphs is centered, but perhaps you want it that way.
that's all the nitpicking i have. i await the next chapter!

I would prefer the writing to not be centered, but I'm not sure where I fix this.
Since I have to write on Notepad to have cut/paste capability, I usually forget about spellcheck on blogger.
Red Fog boy. Mr. Avery happens to look into a room filled with a red fog. The boy who is inside the room sees Mr. Avery and turns into a cloud of the same fog. Kind of like how Nightcrawler would teleport and leave some smoke behind, except red fog boy doesn't teleport. I put this character into the story to establish the level of fantasy attributed with the alterations that occur at this institute. I say that they are rooms, but they are really cells. Perhaps I should have said that in the story.
Jean is SOOOO a guy name too. Example - Jean Reno, the famous actor. It's French. Deal with it. ^_^ And Jean is Mr. Avery.

Did you say the paragraph about the fog boy was UNCLEAR? Hehe...
Good stuff! Keep up the good work.
*stares at gourdy* 9.9
well.
someone's hackles were raised. *hiss* hehe
the centeredness is in your html someplace. it'll more than likely say "center" with the word closed in by <>s. and perhaps you can give the feeling of the rooms being cells through the POV's of one of the visiting gentlemen.
and so i forgot Jean could be a man's name. I didn't think French. -.- bah!
