"Damn, I can't see shit out here. The hell is going on?"

I was walking in complete darkness. I couldn't even see my hands let alone the path ahead of me. It was scary, and yet, no one was in sight. Did everyone disappear?

"Hello!? Can anyone here me!?"

No luck, not even a whisper from the wind.

"Where is my apartment? Jeez, did I go off the road-AAAAAAAH"

I tripped over something and fell right on my head. That's gonna leave a mark.

"Ouch!"

Trying to get myself up, I felt a sudden tug at the back of my shirt. Then whatever that force was lifted me off my feet and hugged me by my waist, carrying me.

"AH! WHAT THE FUCK! GET OFF OF ME!"

*BANG PUNCH KICK*

"LET ME THE FUCK GO!!! HELP!!! HELP!!"

I tried my best to fight off whatever was grabbing me but how can you fight something you can't see. The next thing I know is someone putting a soft object to my face and smothering me with it. I then felt oddly sleepy and numb all over my body. Then the next thing I knew, everything was gone. My consciousness faded in an instant.

"Ok, wake him up."

I was hunched over. Sitting down. I didn't know that, I wasn't aware of anything that was happening. But suddenly, something shocked me awake. A type of smell that seemed to grab my nose and hit my brain with a bat.

"Whoa! What the- Huh. What the fuck! AAAAH!"

I woke up only to find myself in a metal room with a mirror wall in front of me. I was strapped to a chair, unable to move. My heart was pounding with negative excitement. Where the hell am I?

"SOMEONE HELP! SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP!!"

"Your screams are useless. You are in a secluded space, all by yourself?"

A voice echoed throughout the room.

"Who are you? What do you want from me!?"

"The answer to that is simple. It seems you have something that belongs to us. A computer chip."

"That? Yeah, I got it. Y-you need it, huh? Well, g-go ahead and take it. I don't need it. Just take it and don't kill me. I just want to go."

"Here's the problem. The chip is broken. And you're responsible for that."

"I-I-I'm sorry, ok. Just let's work something out-"

"Oh, we will. In fact, you're going to be our little slave."

"Slave? Oh shit, no not SEX SLAVE!!!"

"NOT THAT YOU IDIO- *sighs* I only want you to go make a little pickup."

"So, you're letting me free? Huh?"

"No. We will be watching you. We need you to go pick up a new flash drive somewhere in the city. And if you don't find it within a month and bring it back to us intact, there will be consequences."

"L-like what?"

"Execution."

"Copy that. I got it. J-just please let me go."

"Remember, we'll be watching. Don't try and back out."

"O-okay."

Suddenly, the room goes white and blinds me. I then wake up in my room, at my desk. My vision is a bit blurry but after a while of looking around, my eyesight adjusts.

"The fuck? Was that a dream or something?"

I looked at my arm and found a PHF attached to me. It was hooked up to a PC that didn't belong to me. I was in a server? How?

"The hell?"

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Huh?"

The PC started to beep.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

It started to beep faster.

"Oh, shit-!"

I immediately grabbed the PC and threw it out the window. After a while, it spontaneously combusted into flames. The smell of burning metal filled the air.

"Oh god! Damnit! The hell just happened!?"

I ripped off the PHF and threw it away. I checked my pockets and the box wasn't there. And while I was also getting a grip of reality, I also noticed that the lights and power were back on.

"The powers back?"
