Where?

What?

Who?

So many questions.

People surrounded me, looking at me, but not at the same time.

I didn't know them.

I couldn't remember.

Remember.

There wasn't anything I did remember.

Then there was.

A name.

James.

The name ran through my head.

I said it out loud.

The first time I had heard my own voice.

Scratchy.

Strained.

No one noticed me speak.

James.

Louder.

Nothing.

James.

Then I was heard.

I wish I wasn't.

One man took me by my throat and slammed me into a chair.

He said something to the woman beside him.

Damaged.

They put something in my mouth.

Then the worst pain you could ever imagine ran through my body.

I saw a face.

His face.

James.

Then there was nothing.

I couldn't recall.

I wasn't allowed.

Memories slipped through my fingers like running water.

Who am I?

What am I?

Who are they?

They are my masters.

They tell me a name.

James.

They want him dead in 3 days.

No later.

Or else I would be punished once again.

I leave that night.

James.

Someone I didn't even know.

Why?
