I awoke in a hospital gown. There were about eight different tubes connecting from my paralyzed body to a clear bag. These tubes were draining something... Something blue. Little blue bubbles emerged from the bag where they expanded and popped slowly... I attempted to lift my head only to feel the searing pain of an electric current passing through my body and pulling me back downward like a magnetic force. I began to panic as my anxiety kicked in. The room began to spin as reality poured down on me. My breathing sped up, along with my heart rate. I began sweating and screaming! Every time i moved, the electricity hoisted me to the bed!
I had to calm myself down... I stared upwards at the bright florescent lighting, it burned my eyes, but it was good to know that i was still alive. I relaxed myself so that i could think about the state that my body was in. I was hungry, and very tired... These two things brought an incredible sensation of weakness across me... I hated that. The feeling of weakness. As a matter of fact, it disgusted me... I didn't want to think any longer. I just wanted to sleep. Yes, sleep sounded nice...
I felt myself falling into a dream-like state when a loud eruption of static had burst throughout a hidden intercom.
The static cleared and a disgustingly sweet masculine voice boomed through the room around me.
"Sarina! How nice of you to join us...", boomed a masculine voice
I responded with silence.
"Are you comfortable?", continued the voice.
Still, I remained silent.
"SARINA! RESPOND!", he shouted angrily causing me to jump slightly.
"No... I'm not comfortable. Yes... I am starving.", i managed to choke out weakly. My voice sounded different, almost alien ...
"Hmmm. Very well... could we bring you a snack?", He questioned in a disgustingly sweet tone.
"Yes, that would be nice.", i said, matching his revolting voice.
In all honesty, at this point i would do just about anything to escape this room and be unbound by this demonic electric contraption.
"Excellent. We will send in a guard to bring you dinner.", as soon as he finished his sentence the intercom shut off abruptly, followed by the piercing screech of a microphone getting to close to a speaker.
I waited a few moments before I heard the sound of a door unlocking, the second the door was opened I was impacted, almost in a haze, by the sent of this new food. My mind struggled for quite a while to figure out what on earth the treat was, but the scent was left unmatched.
I watched as a handsome young man in a white suit walked over to me carrying a rather large silver platter with many covered plates and... a lack of utensils. Then a young woman with bleach blond hair and fair skin followed in after him. She carried what seemed to be water in one hand and a thick scarlet coloured liquid in the other.
They set everything down on the table beside me, just out of reach, then ran out of the white room, "Are you fucking retarded!" I screamed out in rage, "How the fuck... am I supposed to eat?!" I screamed much more profanity before I heard the crackle of static over the speakers.
"Sarina!" the familiar masculine voice exclaimed, "Please stay calm love. This is on of many tests we are going to put you through," he explained, "If you are strong enough you will force yourself to eat. If not, we may have to punish you," he continued calmly.
Once again, the speaker crackled off: and once again I was left alone. I lie there again staring at the florescent lights, contemplating how in the hell I was supposed to get out of this horribly uncomfortable bed, how the hell I was supposed to eat... and what the hell was going on!
I continued to lie there and count as each minute slowly went by, testing myself how long I could lay there without eating. 3 minutes and 51 seconds... 3 minutes and 52 seconds... I couldn't take it anymore! I could smell the delicious foods. Each one making my mouth water uncontrollably and then out of a blind rage I forced my upper body forwards so I was sitting upright. I could feel the fine hairs singeing off my arms, and I could hear the sounds of electric currents lashing for my body. I had almost 2 seconds to recover before I could feel the static pulling me backwards. 'If this hits your nerve endings... you will be paralyzed,' my mind wandered fearfully.
This time out of terror, I ripped my legs over to the control panel where I kicked the voltage to 'power off'. As soon as I hit the switch my body felt extremely feather weighted. I was so shocked by my sudden strength that I leaped off the bed and stood beside the glass containing the scarlet liquid. I couldn't help myself, I grabbed the glass and attempted to chug it, but the moment the sweet, white hot liquid hit my tongue I sprayed the fluid all over the floor staining white tiles and walls making them look gruesome and blood stained.
Blood... that's what was in the glass.
"Why would you feed me this?!" I said as I slammed the cup down on the platter. I took a few steps back and slipped on the blood that I had sprayed on the floor and when I slipped it must have released some sort of pheromone, because I found myself wiping it off the bleached tiles and licking my fingers.
When I realized what I was doing, I slid backwards pushing myself into a corner. I sat there for a while before I began to cry. 'What kind if monster am I?' That was my last thought before I lost all control, my eyes rolled back until all that was seen were the whites of them. I ran towards the cup again drinking all the sweet, hot, tingly blood until it was dripping from my mouth. I could imagine I looked terrifying as I threw the sliver plate covers across the room in a painfully desperate search for more "food".
I realized that I had eaten all of the contents from the tray, but the water remained untouched. The one pure thing left alone aside from a small droplet of blood rolling down the condensation inside of the glass at a slow pace.
