     Past that wall, were millions of small glass chambers with people inside of them. There were platforms going down to each layer of chambers. The people did not look normal. That day, I learned that I wasn't the only one, all of the people were supernatural. I saw one that was attempting to fire lasers out of his eyes at the glass surrounding him. Another was tying himself into a knot using his plasticity powers. 

    They threw me into a cell labeled #6540. The glass chamber was small. There was not much space to move either, I remember asking if this is legal. After what seemed like forever, I was escorted into a small room deep into the complex. When I entered the room, I was confused. It was a white room, completely white, except for a single gray chair in the middle of the room.

"Sit"

"Why?" I yelled at the guard.

"NOW!"

    I sat down in the chair. The seat was leather, and it reclined as if I was at the dentist. The guard left and I was alone. I didn't bother trying the door. It was obviously locked. After a couple of minutes I started feeling drowsy. I dozed off a while later. All I remember is waking up almost instantly, I was back in my cell. I felt different though. Was it the huge bandage on my arm? No, it was something else. Just pulling your leg, of course it was the bandage. I felt my arm sticky with blood. What had happened?

    It wasn't until they started doing it constantly, that's when I felt suspicious.  Somehow all of the cellmates fell asleep. I was one of the only ones who was not able to sleep the first night. We were forced to sleep standing. The next morning there was a guard pounding on my glass cell to get me to wake up. He opened the door and grabbed my arm, the non-bandaged one. He led me out of the cage and I noticed that there were millions of guards outside, They were all taking the prisoners to one place.

That day I learned that the complex was bigger than I thought. They took us many floors down, Into a underground room. At first, the room looked small. But then one guard walked over to the control panel on the wall and turned on the lights. One by one, tons of lights lit up as I realized that the room was huge. The walls were made of stone and moss. The floor was just slabs of stone also. There was only lights and the control panel in the interior of the room. Then the guards made us line up, to do roll call.

They counted us up, for an hour. It wasn't a surprise that nobody was gone. After roll call they brought us to a giant cafeteria where they served us horrible food. I took a tray and got into line. There were people pushing each other everywhere. When I got to the table where they had the food, I wrinkled my nose in disgust. It was stew, it smelled horrible, I could see a bit of bread in the stew. Who knows how long that had been in there.

I grabbed a little bit of the stew and some stale bread and I sat down at a table. Apparently these people were supposed to sit there.

"GET OUT OF MY SEAT!" A large bulky prisoner said to me.

"sorry, I didn't know"

I started to get up but he pushed me out of the chair, and my tray along with my small amount of food tumbled to the ground.

"Nice one Eric" One of his friends said.

So his name was Eric. I got up slowly and pushed the remains of food off my clothes. I picked up my tray and put it on a table. I grabbed a mop and a bucket of water from one of the guards. By the time I was done, I was the last one there. I did not know where to go. I saw a door and I wondered if I should go in there. I looked around, No guards. I went in.
