I woke up with a sharp intake of breath. The door opened and i walked out. My legs were like jelly. My muscles weren't deteriorated in any way as far as i could tell i did a couple half assed squats to get the feeling in my legs again.

   I looked around and realized that no one else was out. I looked at my pod and saw a 0 and then i looked at the others and saw that all of them were at 210. I realized what this meant. I woke up way too soon. I was set up for failure. No one even said anything. Huh.

   I walked out of the room and saw a long skinny corridor and a few heads poking out just like mine was. I whispered at them and asked if they had just woken up too. They all nodded and we walked towards each other.

   All of our heads jerked towards the other end of the hall as we heard a scurrying noise. It sounded like an army of bugs walking in unison. Oh, how i wished i was right. It turned the corner. It was a gigantic roach. I yelped and jumped. We all froze in fear. The man who looked twice my age and twice my size stood in front and started punching and stompin. He told us to find some pipes or anything to hit these creatures with.

   The 4 of us started running in the same direction. We didn't know where we were headed but damn were we certain it was this direction. We stopped in front of a storage room. It had looked like it was meant to be a resteraunt instead but was made into a makeshift storage facility. We went through the boxes and boxes of allt he same thing inside of them. They all seemed to be suits with the same number on it. 111. We soon realized that we were all in these uniforms. When did this happen? Did we change when we got here? I asked everyone and they said they didn't remember putting them on. Where were our clothes?

   There's no time for this. We need to find weapons. We went down more halls and there were offices and desks. We rifled through them and we all found something. Some of us found wrenches and others police batons.

   We ran back to the hall we were in. I saw no live roaches but a bloody man on the brink of death. He told us to keep going and leave him there. He said it hurt too much to move.

   Shit. What the fuck kind of situation are we in. We all ran passed him to try and find the exit. We vaguely remembered how we got in. We killed giant roaches on the way to the entrance butchering up some of their meat to eat later when we all get hungry.

   When we reached the first room we entered when we got there i saw some control switches and a lever that said main door. It was obvious what to do. I pulled the lever and alarms were blaring. We had to cover our ears because it was so loud. There were skeletons all over the place we weren't sure how much time exactly went by or what year it was.

   The door looked like a giant gear and it was grinding and very rusted. It finally opened all the way, turning itself out of the way. We walked outside for the first time in centuries.
