Clockwork Keeper(complete)

Chapter 11: survey

Five years later...

"The Clock project is finally done."

"Yes sir." I saluted.

"At what age did you begin?"

We sat down at a metal table.

"Twenty-eight, sir."

"What age are you today?"

"Thirty-three."

"How many months has it been since you completed you're task?" The man shifted in his seat.

"One."

"Alright." He nodded at me. "we're halfway finished with phase one." he spoke into a walkie-talkie.

"It's about to get personal- are you married, kids, anything?"

"Married- almost, kids- no."

"What is you're future wife's name?"

"Um...." i hesitated. "Liam."

"Oh." he cleared his throat. "okay, uh.. where did you grow up?"

"Paris."

"Where were you born?"

"South Carolina."

"Blood type?"

"A."

"Natural hair color?"

"Light brown."

"Full name?"

I glared at him. his eyes widened, afraid that he'd done something wrong.

I sigh. "i prefer not to answer that."

Back to his walkie-talkie,"phase one complete."

I sigh internally.
He rises, leaving me alone.

A hiss noise is made in the dark room.

I breathe in, smelling the drugs.

I quickly feel my consciousness being pulled away. my eyes close, my breathing slows and sleep consumes me.

I let it.
