They Want to Abuse You

“A human cannot usually sustain life without proper nourishment after 7 days.”

 

It’s cold.

 

“Neither is it possible for a human to be in extreme temperatures for long.”

 

What was going on?

 

“We’ll be combing both elements for this experiment as we only have 7 days.”

 

Why?

 

“Yo, man! Wassup? You’ve been out of it,” his roommate cocked an eyebrow at him.

 

“It’s nothing, Leo. Probably just nerves,” Sam smiled, trying to hide the strain in it.

 

He felt like he was missing something, but he couldn’t figure what.

 

“And dude, what’s up with the sweater? It’s 90 degrees in spring!”

 

Sam waved Leo off distractedly, ignoring the other’s badgering.

 

“I’m cold,” he muttered, viciously tearing into his burger. He was so hungry. It felt like he hadn’t eaten in forever…

 

Leo wisely didn’t question that.

 

“So, how was your break? Learn much?”

 

Sam blinked, thinking back. “Yeah, loads. I got to see the ‘others’ again too and hang out a bit. My main boss is a prick. And I met a really cool guy, who’s like my other boss. Oh, and I saw this really gorgeous girl!”

 

“Nice. Spill,” Leo grinned.

 

So Sam told him what had happened while he was away, before Leo had to split for his next class. Immediately, Sam’s stomach began hurting and the urge to hurl came over him. He ran to the bathroom and he got to a toilet right on time, regurgitating the contents of his stomach.

 

He finished up and went to the sink, rinsing his mouth and splashing water on his face. Staring into the mirror, he knew he looked horrible. What in the world was wrong with him?

 

He had no clue and he wouldn’t find out for a long while.

 

When summer rolled around, he found he was going to take another government-tailored for him ‘alternative break’, with the same set up as last time. He eagerly followed Galloway and they headed to Washington D.C. with no fuss.

 

“Well, well, look who came back,” he was greeted with a casual grin from Dylan.

 

He easily returned it, accepting the handshake and then shocked at the sort of hug afterwards. He noticed Galloway had run off again and mentally shrugged, figuring the man left him to Dylan again.
