The Talented

The Glass

A bright light wakes me. I open my eyes and I am in a white room.

*Where am I?*

Then something shocking comes to my mind.

*Who am I?*

I seem to remember things like fire or fishing, which I think I actually hate, but as for where I came from or what I look like I can't remember.

*Am I even sure I came from anywhere?*

I bring my hand up to rub the tired from my eyes and I realize I have tan skin and long bony fingers. I'm also wearing a white long sleeved sweater and white pants, but my feet are bare.

I try rising to my feet only to fall back down again, I appear to be a bit clumsy, and I try again and my feet feel the cool ground under them. I look around and as I do a glint of light catches my eye, and it appears to be right in front of me.

*What is this?*

I stretch one hand out and it hits a hard smooth surface.

*It is glass!!*

I try to find an end by walking with my hand on the glass, but I walk in a complete circle. I recalled that glass was reflective, so I look straight at it and see myself.

I am surprised.

I see a teenage boy with a head somewhere between a circle and an oval, a thin upper lip and a somewhat bigger lower lip, shocking bright green eyes, a normal sized nose slightly crooked to the right, bushy light brown eyebrows, ears that are well rounded and stay close to the head, and very mangy brown hair. It takes me a while to realize that "this" is what I look like.

Then I notice something I didn't before, there is a tiny scar below my left ear, and as I look at it there is movement to my right and what I see is unbelievable. There is a figure just sitting up. They have blue hair and a face that has some dog like features, the eyes being red. They are wearing the same white outfit as me.

I begin looking at my surroundings more closely and I see that there are actually many other bodies just laying there on the floor. There is probably about eight people in this room including myself and the blue dog person. All of us wearing white clothes, but none of us looking alike. There is actually two of them that look like children, and then one that is probably very old.

They all appear to be sleeping.

*Why are we here?*

The person with blue hair is standing now and looking straight at me. Their face is questioning and probably wondering who I am. It finally dawns on me that she may be female because her face is pretty and smooth. Also her chest is not flat and she has curves. The dog she most resembles is a boxton terrier. She trys saying something, but I can not hear her through the glass, and she starts to pound on it, probably trying to break it.

More people are starting to rise and I can see the fear in one, impish looking, boy's eyes, which are yellow, and he is trying to find some way out. He also has short yellow hair that is sticking out in random places and slightly blueish skin.

We are like caged animals. We are probably all scared.

I look back at the girl. She looks as if she is discovering something. She turns her eyes back on me and mouths very slowly so I can read her lips.

"Who are you and where are you from?"

I just shrug my shoulders because I honestly don't know and I mouth back the same thing.

She shrugs as well and mouths back, "No one seems to remember."

All of a sudden there is a bright light, so bright that many of us shield our eyes, and then all there is is darkness.
