There I was, trapped inside a strange capsule, nowhere to go, I could hear, see, think and yet I could not move. 

Strange men in suits walked past everyday, checking weird tubing and pipes, wrote on a note pad and left, not to be seen for another four hours, I always wondered to myself if I would ever make it out of this place, then one day, I finally got my chance.....

The strange man left again, I was alone again I could hear thunder cracking somewhere nearby and strange talking from a room far off like usual, then all of a sudden the lights went out, my heart was racing, what was going on I had the sudden urge to get out, I could see one red emergency light signaling "EXIT" just outside my capsule, suddenly I hear a gurgling like water going down a drain, then i realized it was, the strange liquid I was in was going down a small drain signed "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY ONLY", the glass barrier between me and the exit lifted, revealing the exit, I was free, or was I, there was a lot of commotion outside of this alleged exit, I took one step my legs felt like jelly after all this was the first step I had taken in..... how long had it been, how long was I in there, I had no idea and there was no time to find out, I had to get moving, I continue for the door, it is slightly open lucky for me, I open it and look, a long hallway stretches out in front of me, so much for exit, I slowly start walking down the long hallway hoping for a door, then I see one just down to the left, I pick up my speed and try the handle, its unlocked, I cautiously open the door and look inside but its too dark to see whats happening, then the alarms go off.

I hear marching and yelling and see flashlights bouncing off walls i have no choice but to hide, I go in the dark room and quietly close the door, I follow the wall with my hand until i find the corner, I stand there waiting for them to bust in, b...

I hear marching and yelling and see flashlights bouncing off walls i have no choice but to hide, I go in the dark room and quietly close the door, I follow the wall with my hand until i find the corner, I stand there waiting for them to bust in, but it doesn't happen, I must be safe, I creep up to the door and check the bottom for any light going past but it looks dark, i slowly open the door, the hallway looks pretty safe its more quiet now, but the door to my capsule is shut, they must have went in to get me, then the door suddenly bust open, "HEY, YOU, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE" the strange man reaches for his gun, I have to run.

My legs are like pistons i'm running down what seems to be a never ending hallway, I can hear the footsteps behind me I turn left and right and left and right it seems to go on forever, then just as I thought i was lost i see the exit bright as day, a big red door reading "FIRE ESCAPE".

I burst through the door and into the rain, I keep running but all I see are fences as high as the buildings and a small little room off in the distance, I might be able to hide there for a bit, I run for it and get inside closing the door behind me, thank god, I'm exhausted there should be some supplies in here, I look around and all i see is a barred window with a table underneath it and a few items on it, I look closer there is a metal mask a baton and a change of clothes, there some pants, a vest, a long sleeved shirt and a large trench coat, it must have belonged to who ever was locked in here before i came along, the door opens and the strange man comes in "aha, you're caught mate, give up", i have no time to think, but one thing is for certain, I wasn't going back inside that capsule.
