Jake PoV

A faint groan left as the world came into view. The wilderness, with rabbits, birds, and large, turkey like creatures (for simplicity sake called Gobblers) nesting in the berry bushes. This is what I thrive in; survival. Spear in hand, I wander towards an unexpecting Gobbler. The spear pierced the flesh and fur easily, the creature falling. "Well done, Jacob Wittan," A raspy voice echoed, as shadows followed towards me, engulfing me, suffocating me-

I jolt up, looking around. This is not the place I was last. "Hello?" I called out, a deeper tone to my voice as I get up. My footsteps made no sound as I walked around the small cell, curious as to what I'm doing here and where here is. Then I noticed it; a TV, with no source to turn it on. A sound, then the screen brightened to display a face, one seemingly happy. "Greetings! I am Glitchy, the head scientist here at this G-Tech lab! I promise you we will provide the best care for your stay of 40 years here," The AI explained.
"40 years?!" An angered yell rung through the hallway, and soon a thud.
"That is an example of what not to do."

I went to the bars of the cell, poked my head through and looked around.

"Jane! It's almost night, come on!"

Jane. "Jane?!" I called out, shaking the bars. "Jane!"
"Jacob Wittan, please, stop yelling. Jane is not here as of yet."
"Why?!"
No response.
"Answer me, please!"
Nothing.
Then something, "Let us begin the first test, shall we?"
