Chapter 3

Garth awakes, slowly opening his eyes. He can't move his arms. He looks downwards to find out that he's tied up against a chair.

2 figures, dressed in some sort of white, furry garments move towards him. Both masked, one of them holding a knife. The first figure presses the knife against Garth's throat, before the other begins to speak in some odd, unintelligible accent.

"Listen, I don't know who you are. I don't care who you are. At this point in time, you're nothing more than a... Thing in this room. Nothing else matters, your job, your social status, NOTHING!

...do you understand?"

Garth responds accordingly.

"Yes, I do... Ask away..."

The other figure speaks.

"Right, firstly... What are you?"

"What...? You'll have to be more-"

This aggravates the figure.

"SHUT UP! We ask the questions here!"
The figure says as he presses the knife closer to Garth's throat.

He goes on. "What're you? Species-wise!"

Not wanting the knife to go any closer to his throat than it already is, Garth responds simply: "A-a human!"

The other figure looks to the first one, they whisper to eachother before they both look at Garth.

"Really?"

"Yes! Really! What sort of people are you? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Garth shouted. He couldn't comprehend what could possibly be going on in the mind of these 2 figures. Aghast, all Garth could merely hope for is that he ends up safe afterwards.
