David woke up in a small room with a table in the middle, his eyes shot open as he jumped to his feet. He looked around and spotted a small vile on the table and a muffin next to it. He had seen Alice in Wonderland when he was a child, his sisters loved the damn film. He took a deep breath and looked around the room, taking slow, deliberate, steps to not step on anything or trigger any traps. There was no little door and there was no exit, a fully closed-off room. David King, for once in his life, had felt helpless as he tried to find a way out. His panic got to him, he started seeing things in the corner of his eyes. Just small movements, nothing big, but whatever he saw scared the hell out of him. He didn't know what to think as he sat in a corner of the room and covered his eyes, his knees pulled to his chest. There was no one else there for him to look cool for, there was no one at all. Except there were people, they just ran away when he tried to look at them.
Two hours passed before he began crying, the visions had gotten worse, black figures appearing in his direct vision. He noticed a sound, had that sound always been there before? He listened and took a deep breath to hear it better, maybe it was a snake, maybe this wall could be broken down and he was just feet away from being outside. He couldn't move right though, his body controlled itself as the dark reality hit him. The room was being filled with gas. He began to panic as the feeling of anxious helplessness overwhelmed him, he screamed out as his brain hoped to god it knew what it was doing. He grabbed the vial off the table and popped off the cork, wishing that it was an antidote to another chance at life, even if it was temporary.
It was water, plain and simple.
He threw the glass vial against the wall as he fell, his body was suddenly weak as he began to cough and choke. Almost puking up whatever it was he had downed, he was poisoned. He choked on the ground for a while before his lungs gave out and he collapsed to the ground. His face was red and his right hand up against his throat.
