Darkness surrounds me, no visibility whatsoever. DRIP. TAP,TAP,TAP. Turning to the source of the noise and gripping the handle of my kuni harder I wait for something,anything.CREAK. I see a light just barely visible, I run, the reason of being here constantly keeping me from collapsing from exhaustion.

Running down the hallway as fast as my legs will allow I reach another door and grasp the handle,taking a few breaths to calm my nervousness I turn the handle,CLICK! Pushing the door open i find myself standing in front of a man whose face is hidden under the shadows, this mysterious man also is slightly haunched over and breathing heavy. PANT,PANT,PAN,PANT. The only noise that is breaking the eerie silence is the man. "Are you ok?" i manage to find my voice, a groan follows in in reply.TAP! I take a cautious step forward, "Hello, sir? Are you ok?" More panting and a groan in reply. "Sir?" Arms reach away from the man I reach out to grab his shoulder. Feeling a pressure in my neck I see a needle there. Then the world turns black.
