Cut Off

The Glade

Morgan's POV

A sudden drop, followed by the sounds of..an elevator?

"What..what's going on" I mumbled to myself.

I opened my eyes, gripping my head.

"Ughh. I've got a splitting headache" I groaned.

I waited for my eyes to adjust. "Where- where am I?" Looking around, I realise that I'm in a metal box. A metal box with box's inside of it. It was moving fast. Looking down I see a deep tunnel. A deep tunnel filled with passing lights every so often. Looking up I see in a distant big metal doors, sun shining through. Closer and closer. Lights passing the corner of my eyes.

"What-" I was cut off by a sudden stop of the box. I was thrown backwards to the floor, hitting my head on two metal bars. "Oww! That bloody hurt" I chuckled, rubbing the back of my head. "Should have probably seen that coming".

The metal doors automatically opening. The loud noise scaring me. Causing me to jump slightly and look up in an instant. . .gripping onto my shirt where my heart lay way under. "Fuck" I breathed out.

I shielded my eyes from the sun. "I'm assuming I'm outside? Due to my vision being bright" I reported getting up from the floor. "How do I get out of here exactly", scanning the room I notice a perfectly stacked pile of box's that lead to the edge.

I walked over to the pile and used it to climb out.

Standing there, bare foot, I took in the view of the area. A slightly big open area surrounded by healthy trees. "Beautiful" I grinned. The scenery was beautiful, absolutely beautiful! The trees swaying slowly with the wind, the clear water glistening in the sun.

I took in the beautiful scenery, when out of the corner of my eye I notice something. . .something big and grey. I whip my head around, upward, to see above the trees a massive grey wall. Following it along doing a 360.

"This going all the way around. . .would that mean I'm. .trapped. .here" I mumbled. I look down to notice a somewhat clear path into the woods leading to the grey wall, bolting for it.

Standing in front I examine the wall. I notice a door was built into it. "I wonder why that's there. .maybe I can find out soon, check it out" I mumble.

I looked around, then through the way the box was. "I'm guessing I have to survive?" I trailed off. I thought for a moment, I probably am supposed to survive here. I'm guessing they give me some supplies to start off with. I regain my train of thought and head back through the path.

I stood at the top, looking down. "There's quite some box's here" I noted "time to get digging I guess". I jumped down into the box looking at the lonely box's on the ground, "better to start with the light and lonely" I chuckled.

I pulled one of the box's out of the corner into the middle of the metal box and sat down. I opened it to see it was filled fully with herbs and seeds. "It's filled to the brim- Maybe I should take these crates to the top first" I reckoned putting the lid back on.

I stood up and looked at all the box's that had come up with me. This is going to be a lot of effort.

After a while I had finally gotten all the box's out of the metal box I arrived in. Looking up at the sky I could tell it was getting close to night. It took me that long to get all these box's out? Oh well, at least they were out and I could rest.

I sat down, feeling exhausted from all the jumping down and lifting I had done. Just sitting up felt like hard work, "I'll lie down for a bit" I mumbled.

Lying down next to the box's I could feel the tiredness take over me and soon enough I fell asleep.
