Running out of time

12 years. It's been 12 years and this damn machine just won't work. I've tried everything. Every combination, every equation, every formula. Nothing works, nothing nothing nothing. I'm running low on food, I need to fix this machine, otherwise I won't survive.

I looked for some more books today, some for knowledge, some for personal entertainment. It helps me stay sane. I sometimes read out loud, I haven't heard my own voice in a lot time. No point in talking when no one can hear you. But it helps with the silence, the deathly silence.

I probably have a few more year left before the food supply perishes. I need to read more books. I know to know more, learn more. I can't be stuck here. I'm running out of time.

Why won't it work, I don't have time for it to not work. I don't understand what's wrong, what would Ga-...

He. What would he do. What did he do? How did he do it? I'm not as smart as him, I never was and never will be. I think I'm loosing more memories. I can't remember the monsters faces who lived here, I can't remember their names. How long has it been? I'm so alone.

No. No. No. No. No. NO!

It was working, it worked. Why'd it stop. Why.

No please, I need to leave. I can't take it here. I can't take this.

I need to calm down. Stressing about it won't fix it. What should I do now? What haven't I done? I've done it all, there's nothing left to do but work.

I can read. Read what? I've memorised every book down here. There's nothing left. There's no one left. I've seen it all, done it all, been everywhere, done everything.

I need to get out of here. I'm loosing myself. I can feel my brain melting into the mushy mess of insanity.

I need to pull it together. I can go train again, yeah yeah. That's a good idea, the stronger the better.

But I'm running out of time. Food is low, magic is low, sanity is running low. I have to work.

Work work work.

What's wrong? I need to find out what's wrong. Then I can fix it. Then I can leave.

Then I can be free.
