Y/n POV:

I try to sit up but I feel my body strapped down. I try to move my head but I couldn't feel anything at all. I grunt as I struggle to force my limbs to move, only able to move my eyelids and fingers. But even then, my vision was blurred and warped, as if I was looking through layers and layers of frosted glass.

I look around, trying to get as much information as I can until I hear a deep distorted voice speak through a speaker above me. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You won't get anywhere with that attitude, Y/n"  I track my eyes to the warped figures looking at me through a glass, wearing what seems to be white lab coats.

I try to speak but nothing comes out. I hear their chilling laughter echo throughout the walls. "You can't escape control Y/n. Give up." I struggle more against the restraints, slowly gaining my voice back.

"L–Let. M–Me. G–Go!" I yelled as I broke free. A loud siren started to blare as I break down the doors I was held captive in. As I try to escape, I hear another voice shout behind me. Faintly a woman's voice, with icy care laced into it."You know too much, dear. It's better this way."

"Why don't you just accept it? You'll never be enough, Y/n." The other figures bellowed as gas started to fill the dark, medical hallways. "The truth was never yours to have, so you must pay with your freedom."

I could see the world around me fade to black as I run through different rooms trying to find the exit. Time keeps fading in and out as I hear the siren getting louder and louder as if it's right behind me.

"You wanna play tag, Y/n? You always loved to play that game." I hear them goad behind me as I run through the never-ending hallways. I could hear them chant a string of mostly unintelligible words behind me, only making out 'Fire' and 'Charge.'

All the words, though unrecognizable, somehow resonated with me and sent shivers down my spine.

As I run, seemingly going nowhere, the walls start melting, and the siren starts fading into a recognizable alarm.

Monday, 6:23 am

I squint towards the window adjacent to my desk, the sunlight leaking in and hurting. I rub my eyes, stretching big to try and alleviate the pain from my back from falling asleep on my desk. I reached over to my phone to shut off the alarm, browsing through my schedule for the day in the process. I bent down to open my bottom drawer and fetched my journal, adding a tally mark to one of the pages.

"627. and fuckin' countin'." I sigh as I scan through the pages of my journal, hoping to look further into it when I have the time. I take the journal with me and place it in my satchel hung in the living room, collecting items I need along the way for the presentation of my project.

I made my way over to my bathroom to shower and start my morning routine. When I was finished, I picked out a fresh set of clothes to wear.
