Biography of Benjamin Kyle

Benjamin Kyle is an American man who knows absolutely nothing about himself. This is because he suffered a complete loss of memory after some unknown events. In the place where memories are stored and replayed for most people, Benjamin Kyle is faced with complete darkness. Even the name he responds to today was given to him in the hospital where he was found. His real identity remains a mystery, and despite many efforts to help him, no relatives have been found.

In 2012, Benjamin Kyle was discovered unconscious on the steps of a restaurant in Richmond Hill, Georgia. He was almost blind due to cataracts and severely sunburned. He had no documents on him, and he couldn't remember where he might have kept them. The name "Benjamin Kyle" was given to him based on the initials of the café where he was found. Typically, unidentified patients in American hospitals are named John Doe, but that name was already in use in the hospital where he was brought.

Attempts to recover Benjamin's memory were unsuccessful. At first, people doubted his claims, but over time, it became clear to doctors that Benjamin was not pretending. He genuinely wanted to remember details about himself and his life. However, his memory was completely wiped clean, as if his life before the hospital never existed. DNA tests and fingerprints also yielded no results in identifying him.

As time went on, Benjamin Kyle remained in the hospital, as he had nowhere else to go. Notably, the renowned artist Miguel Endara came to his aid. Upon hearing about his plight, Endara created a portrait of Benjamin using a technique called pointillism, in which approximately 2.1 million ink dots were placed on the canvas. Endara hoped that this detailed portrait would attract attention to Benjamin's story and potentially lead to someone recognizing him and shedding light on his biography.

Currently, Benjamin faces many difficulties. He cannot find employment because he lacks a Social Security card, and obtaining one is impossible since it might already exist under his real name. Breaking free from this vicious cycle seems unlikely, and Miguel Endara hopes his pointillism portrait can help Benjamin in some way. Fortunately, the owner of the café where Benjamin was found offered him a job, and a kind resident provided him with a shed to sleep in.

Meanwhile, compassionate internet users started a petition to obtain a new Social Security number for Benjamin. After all, if someone has lost their memory, why deprive them of a social life as well? Although it may be late by several decades, Benjamin Kyle still has the opportunity to create new memories. Some even envy him because he doesn't remember any of the bad things that may have happened in his life. However, Benjamin sincerely wishes to remember who he is, how he lived his entire life, and if there are people out there who still love him.
