Project XZ3

Chapter 1

Darkness. All around me is darkness. Am I blind? Or am I really in the dark?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scream panicking and stand up. I hit my head onto something hard, and sit back down. Chains on my wrists. I search around above me... and feel a wooden block above me.

"Oh no" turning around I panic to find some source of light. Panic drives over my brain. I rattle the chains more. I stand up and hit my head again. I entwine the chains around my wrists in my struggling, I pull down and the wood breaks. I yank to the left, and hit into a wall.

"Ahh!" my heart pounds, I feel around the wall for anything, anything to help me see. A corner in the wall... I feel around some more... something... there is a button... I push it. A bright light shines into the room.

"Ahh!" I throw my arms to my face and I land on my back on the ground. Closing my eyes tightly I try to focus on my breathing... and find myself falling asleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking up, I see a bright light ahead of me. I look down on the chains still on my wrists, silver rusty chains, and broken pieces of wood lie ahead of me. A wooden seat is in the middle of the room and a broken wooden ledge above it. The room is a very small room, a white floor, white walls and a white ceiling. I look to my left and there is a massive silver door with no handle on it.

I stand up and walk to the door. I feel around... a smooth silver surface. There is nothing on it to let me out of this room.

But then... I think... who am I? Where am I? Why am I here? Confusion sweeps over my brain. I stand and stare at the door. I look down at the chains on my wrists. All I know is that I am locked in this small room, and there is no way out. This door with no handle is not helping me. Thoughts of hanging myself with this chain are starting to grow on me. I want to know who I am, and why I am here.

Something is flickering on the left of me... I look up, and see a camera, and a red flashing light. What is this? What does it mean? Is someone watching me? How will I ever know?

"What is that?" I ask myself. I walk over to it and look up. A small device attached to the wall. It looks like someone is watching me through it. But who? And why? So many different thoughts running through my head... and my first, is to get out of this room. But how?

I walk back over to the door. No handle, no nothing. How am I supposed to get out? Is this some kind of test or something? Is the whole world watching me? I don't like any of this. I look back up at the device on the wall. A red flashing light. I turn around and scan the room. Broken wooden beams on the floor. White floor, white walls, white ceiling. And that's it. No other means of escape of this white room of terror.

I look back at the door. Anger, sweeps over my brain. The thought of staying in this room much longer frightens me. Nothing but a red flashing light, the feeling that I am being watched.

I need to get out of here.
