This morning feels different. The door is still locked from the day before, I wait for it to unlock. They turned the lights on early today because of roll call.
Finally, the door unlocks and automatically opens. I walk out, I notice the room accrossed from me has two inhabitants. Both are walking straight in a line, facing forward and not talking.
They are acting like......
Robots.
Every room and every patient is acting the same way. They walk perfectly, and none of them are talking. I begin to follow their lead.
I follow behind them and look straight ahead. Silent. We walk for a few minutes, all of the doors are open. Even the security room. How do they know where to go?
Suddenly everyone halts. I nearly bump into the person in front of me. Doctors walk up and down the line pointing to specific people.
They aren't to me yet, my muscles tense up and I hold my breath. She points to the person in front of me, glances at me, and moves on.
I release the breath I was holding. Barely making a noise. She finishes down the line and walks back through. When she gets to me she stops.
I stare straight ahead and level my breathing.
"This one too." She says. A hand grabs me and pulls me out of the line. "The rest, take to the blood extraction site." She turns to the ones that weren't chosen, "Thank you for your donation to the cure. The selected few will be taken to the laboratory for analysis."
The hand tightens around my arm and I wince. They then tug me forward, following the others. Out of the corner of my eye I see the others being taken the other way.
Blood extraction... Are they going to be okay?
I recognize the straggly hair in front of me, it is Jillian. I wonder if he can see what is going on right now. Are they all in a daze?
Ahead I see the double doors that lead to the laboratory. The person keeps tugging me along, I can't tell who it is without breaking my act. We walk through the doors and turn to go into a room that is all white.
There are hampers on both sides of the room. The other patients walk over to one, and start taking off their clothes.
No, no, no. I can't.
I get pulled over to an unoccupied hamper and see a shirt I recognize. It was John's.
The hand lets go of my arm and speaks.
"Remove your clothes." It is a man. He has a deep voice. Does he expect me to expose myself in front of him?
I stand there, unmoving. I feel hot breath against my ear.
"Trust me"
Authors Thoughts:
Hey, so I do realize these chapters are very very short. This is a rough copy of this book, I am just laying down an idea for me to work with. Depending on the reactions of this copy I may create a longer and more in depth version.
Thank you so much for your support! Much love - Samantha
