Light.
Piercing and bright light.
I woke with a start, a metallic taste in my mouth. I quickly closed my eyes again to avoid the light. The light was all I knew in this strange world, however, and I slowly opened my eyes to look at it. I was astonished to find that I knew what the strange block was.
Glowstone.
The second thing I found was that I knew nothing else. Sure, the other items in the cube-shaped room were familiar, but things such as my name and home were not. My brain was completely empty. I looked around the room to orient myself. The walls were made of an array of stone brick, and there was a bed in the center of the room. The room was 4x4x4, and on the floor in a corner a pressure plate rested.
HELLO SUBJECT 17
The voice came seemingly out of nowhere, and it caused me to jump out of my actions. I scanned the room for the person who said it.
WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM
The line was so cheesy that even in my fear I laughed. "Who are you, strange voice?", I asked, "And where am I?" My voice was scratchy and I realized that the metallic taste was that of my own blood. Bile rose into my throat and I added a hasty question to the end of my sentence. "What have you done to me?"
STEP ON THE PLATE TO FIND OUT
The voice had a snide, even mocking, tone. And I wondered about its sincerity. "Are you sure?" I waited, but received no response. I decided to step on the plate despite the fear it induced in me. Instantly I found myself in a dark room, or perhaps high in the air. I could see nothing, and I was feeling a floating sensation.
THIS IS YOUR HIPPOCAMPUS, OR FOR YOUR PUNY MIND TO UNDERSTAND- YOUR MEMORIES
I felt sick. "Where are they?"
THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED
"Obviously. But why? And by whom?"
BY ME, AND FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT
The darkness fell out of existence, and I fell softly to the floor.
