So. Thats all I rememer of my life before I ended up in this dump. I cry myself to sleep when I hear or think of Ray and Mikey. I wish I was stuck in the past still.

I did go into a short depression after waking up here, but its kinda hard to do in a do-or-die place. I haven't flown using my powers since then.

I wanted to die so many times, but its like they don't want me to. The guards threaten me with guns all the time, but dont shoot me like they do the others. Its probubly cause im asking to die too.

An announcement burst through the speakers calling names. I tuned it out and kept shoveling the coal.

". . . AND JOSHUA ALSET, REPORT TO HALLWAY 3130 IMEDIATELY."

The Hall.

Why was I needed at The Hall? This can't be good. I put my shovel down and was instantly surounded by 3 guards. We exited the sweat room, turned to one of the halls, into the elevator.

There were 2 other 'prisoners' who I guess were also called to the hall. The guy on my right is, I think, Kenith. He was a mass murderer before coming here. He killed atleast 301 people before getting caught. He has the body of a tank, over 50 bullet wounds and knife marks littering his arms, hazel eyes, and a bad attitude. If you fuck with him, consider yourself dead.

The guy on my left is Leo. He is the scrawniest dude here, but dont let that fool ya. Give him a battery, he can turn it into a nuclear bomb. Hes also a technology freak.  He has an electronic eye that he made himself and an index finger made of wires n his left hand. He reminds me of Mikey sometimes, if you dont count the fact that he threatened to blow up half the U.S. with powerful bombs. The president's men only found 5 of the 6,000 bombs so far, putting the detonator under heavy lock and key.

The elevator stopped on the bottom floor, which is about 2,000 feet below earth's surface. When the elevater's doors openned, Kenith, Mikey and I were shoved into another hall.  It led directly to The Hall. There were 7 other prisoners. Some of whom I don't remember.

After a couple of moments, the doors to The Hall openned and a lady that looked to be in her 40s came out in a labcoat.

"Joshua Alset?" She said, her British accent strong.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Come with me." She said and started walking. As I followed, I heard some of the others wolf whistle. God, they're so inappropriate.

While walking down The Hall, I studied the walls. They were almost completely metal. Why metal? But the metal didn't seem to be metal. They are more like glass, plastic, and metal mixed, but solid and definately not transparent. Wierd.

The lady brought me to a set of doors made of the wierd metal. She pressed a button on the wall next to one of the doors and a hand scanner flew from the wall. Whoa.

She pressed her hand to it and the thing's screen flashed green. A loud hiss came from the doors as they clicked open. She openned the door all the way and brought me inside.

The room was all white, except for a large piece of mirror on the far end covering the whole wall. There was a metal chair with white leather cushions on the arms and the seat.

"Sit." The lady said. So, I sat. The chair was pretty comfortable. It reminded me of the couch my mother had in the livingroom when I was 14. A click came from the doors as the lady left. I was met with silence.

A couple minutes later, the lady came back with a headset and a wire band. She put the headset on my head and wrapped the wire band around my forearm.  Before I could react to take it off, metal straps came up from the chair and wrapped around my wrists and ankles.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" I yelled, startled.

"Calm bown." Said the lady, but she only freaked me out more. She went up to the mirrored wall and pressed a button on the side. When she did, a little hole peeped through. She placed the cord that came from the headset in and my ears were instantly met with white noise. The lady left again.

I was confused. What are they doing? Whats going on? I started to try and get my hands free, but failed. I started to panic as the noise in the headphones started to slowly get louder.

Louder and louder they got, until it hurt my ears. I struggled more to try and get them off. I still struggled when a man entered. I couldn't see him much because the noise from the headphones was shaking my head like a fucking earthquake.

The man came up to my arm with a full syringe.  It had a deep bluish blackish liquid inside. He plucked it into my arm and put the shit into my bloodstream.
