Ballad of Rain

Chapter Twelve

       When Rain came to this time, he was in a dark room. The room was pretty spacious. In one of the corners was a cot with a thin blanket on it, along with a small worn down pillow. There was a sink and a toilet on the other side of the room. He noticed there was no mirror. Figures. He stood up and walked around a bit. He noticed the whole room seemed to be padded. Taking a closer look, he saw that the padding was old and torn in places. As he was walking around, he noticed a big metal door. He walked towards it and touched the cool metal. It felt good against his skin as he leaned up against it. Then everything went dark once again. He woke up falling to the ground, as the metal door swung open. He squinted his eyes as blinding light filled his vision. He felt hands wrap around his arms and lift him up. As the hands got him standing, they led him down a narrow hallway. After a couple minutes of staggering down the hallway, they reached a door. The door was different from the one that Rain was confined with. This door was wooden, and painted red. It also had a glass window on it that had the word "Director" in big black letters written on it. By now Rain's vision was clear, and he could see the two men holding him. They were big guys and they wore black t-shirts with an insignia that he did not recognize.
