Step 4- Expiration
A man in a white lab coat sat watching the monitors. No one ever comes to the facility but still he has to watch the security cameras to make sure nothing goes amiss. He sits there sipping coffee in the dead of night wishing that someone else was in the confined room watching unchanging monitors.
Just then something catches his eye. There was activity in the room where they were holding the prime test subject. The black-eyed man in the solid white room was pacing around. All of a sudden he stopped and grabbed at his own throat. The man watching dropped his coffee cup and its contents onto the floor. The crash brought him to his senses and he urgently called security over a radio. They had to get into that room, they couldn't let their test subject die, not like that, not by his own hand.
He watched the security guards run down the labyrinth of hallways and reach the room. They opened the door and rushed inside, but it was too late. The black-eyed man was lying motionless on the floor.
