Chapter Two

Well, I looked today and saw that I got a whopping 8 page views.  You guys are smothering me, haha.
I've worked a bit on chapter two, and so here's what I've got.

    He opened his eyes, then winced and closed them.  It was overwhelmingly bright.  He put a hand up, and cracked an eye open.  Everything was white.  The floors, the ceiling, the table… all white.  He sat up and took a look around.  Hospital, he thought to himself.  For some reason he had a nagging feeling that he should be dead, but couldn't remember why.  In fact, he couldn't remember anything leading up to when he'd woken up.  He pushed off the exam table he'd been laying on and looked around. There wasn't a single person around.  Feeling a bit cautious, he grabbed a scalpel from a white gurney on his way to the door.  He found it unlocked.

    The hallway was empty.  Not just devoid of people, but desolate of everything.  It was a mirror image, the way to the left mirroring the way to the right.  Except for one thing: one had a blue arrow at the end and one had a red arrow.  Odd.  There was something disturbing, something that he couldn't put his foot on.  He sat down and thought hard.  Gasping, he realized what it was.  He didn't know who the heck he was. 

    He shimmied back up the wall, trying to stay calm.  He was in an unfamiliar place, a hospital most likely, and couldn't remember who he was.  Clearly he'd suffered some sort of brain injury.  He just needed to find somebody else.  He looked left, then right.  He chose left.

    The hallway turned when he reached the arrow.  Down at the end was a large television screen.  He approached it slowly, not sure what to do.  There was a flash across the blackness and then there was a man staring down at him.  The man smiled warmly, approaching creepy.  "Hello, Subject 41149115.  I hope that you are not too alarmed."

    He only shook his head in disbelief.  "Where am I?," he whispered.


I'll type the rest next week.  I'm looking at having two chapters done a week from now on, so stay posted.

My picture for this blog is actually going to be of Damian.  I sketched it in my boredom.  I'll have it in Mrs. Krieger's room tomorrow.
