Quite mermering.
Getting louder and louder.
Ocatinal lights flicker across my eyes.
Slowly concise flows into me.
My joints are stiff all over.
I slowly start to wiggle my fingers.
Starting to feel the tingles leave my fingers.
A quiet groan leaves my throat.
All the noise around me stops.
The lights seams to get brighter.
Shadows hang over my closed lids.
The noise clears up to distinctive language,a light beeping in the background. People shuffling around.
Suddenly, there is a sharp pain in my lower thigh. Jilting from my half awake state. Bright lights blind my sensitive eyes.
Blinking the scene before me clears up. Two faces look down upon me. They look to be proud but why? Why would they look to me in astonishment? They looked shocked. Why? I am just plain old me. I see one pull a syringe out of my thigh.
The people start asking me rapid fire questions that blur together. I managed to understand a question, but the next come to quick for me to answer. Eventually they realize they are asking too quick . They slow down.
" Do you understand us?" One asked .
"Yes"
They documented my answer and continue asking questions.
" Do you know where you are?"
"No"
Documented again but that almost seems normal- deja vu?
"Do you know what the date is?"
" Yes, It's October 29,2060"
The questions keep coming and slowly I answer them. My answers recorded. My jaw is slowly unstiffining and every movement gets easier and easier, faster and faster.
I start sitting up and looking around as they are asking the questions. The room is all white almost heavenly. With the last rays of the day shining in lighting up the tech that surrounds the table that I lay.
Once the people that I still don't know their names seemed satisfied they walked away. Each staring and taping at what looks to be a black wall. Both barring huge smiles on their faces. Again the question comes.
Why?
I feel like I should know the answer. It's just at the tip of my tongue. Why don't I know this? Why do I have so many questions?
Everything goes pitch black I feel myself fall back to the table a loud thunk resonates throughout the room. I still hear quite mermering. No longer directed tawers me. I pick up bits and pieces of the conversation. Not enough to understand what they are talking about.
"Yha."one of the voices stated.
"I agree" The other responded.
" Best so far needs work tomorrow" he respond responded.
"Sounds good we need to de bug" the second voice said.A door slams. Silence surrounds me. Darkness fall surrounding me. I drift into the darkness that's calling.
Slowly conscious flows into me.
My joints aren't as stiff.
I slowly start to wiggle my fingers it's easier than before.
