Baths are always relaxing. It’s a place where no one can mess with you. Your alone to relax and think about life. Forget about all you problems just for the moment. Logan loved to do this and did this every chance he could. His relaxation broke when he heard footsteps outside the bathroom door. He figured it was someone who came back early. He sighed but was determined to keep relaxing. But the door slammed open cutting him out of his daydream. Before he could jump up to see who it was hands grabbed him. He tried to fight but he could feel four or five hands holding him under water.

Logan woke up in a panic on his bed. It was just a dream he thought relieved. He had dreamt he was being drowned. He sat up in his bed and looked at his bathroom. Bathroom he thought then he jumped up scared. He didn’t have a bathroom in his bedroom. He looked around he wasn’t in his bedroom. Where was he?  

At first he thought maybe he didn’t dream he did drown and now he was in a hospital but there weren’t any machines or sounds of a hospital. He couldn’t remember how he got there, who brought him there, or even where there is. Looking around the room he noticed there were no windows. On one side of the room there was the bathroom it also had no windows. On the other side of the room was a closet open in it was three black and white suits. Next to the bed he was on was a side dresser with one draw and a lamp on it.

Then there was a door he imagined it lend outside. Carefully he walked towards it. Slowly he put his ear up against it to see if he could hear anything. After a minute of not hearing anything he reached for the knob. When he tried to open it he realized the door was locked. Logan ran his finger over the door knob the part where you put the key was inside the room which means his door locks from the outside. Has someone locked him inside his room he thought?  That made Logan worried he couldn’t remember anything but waking up in a room. Logan he thought my name I remember my name Logan. How could he remember his name but not how he got here?  I have to get out this room there has to be a key somewhere.  Logan looked around he checked in the closet, under the bed, on the bed, and in the dresser. The bathroom he thought as he got up and went to the bathroom.

When he went inside the bathroom he found a key on the sink. Excited but still a little scared he walked to the door. Before unlocking it he looked down at what he was wearing a white muscle shirt and black boxers. He looked at the three suits in the closet then back at the door. I don’t know even know whose clothes those are or if they would even fit.  Logan contemplated and decided to put it on. When he put on the suit and shoes everything fit perfectly this made him even more worried. With a knot in his stomach he unlocked the door.

Before opening it he listened to see if he could hear anyone. After a minute of silence he opened the door. Slowly and quietly he walked out into a hall. The hall looked like a hallway in a hotel it had doors on but sides. Logan couldn’t make out how many. There was stairs at the end of the long hall.

The room across from his had a one on the door. He looked back at his door there was no number. There wasn’t any numbers on any other door either. Logan was about to walk to the stairs when he heard a knock. It came from the room across from him with the one on the door.

At first he wasn’t sure it was real if maybe he imagined it. But again he heard a knock even louder this time.  Logan was unsure what to do so he just stood there. More knocks came harder this time and it didn’t stop Logan took a step back. Then the knocks stopped and everything went silent again. Still afraid Logan didn’t move he wasn’t even sure his body would let him if he wanted to. After a few minutes of silence Logan heard the door unlock and the knob turn. Slowly the door opened.

When the door was fully opened Logan could see a boy standing there. Logan watched him carefully step out. Looking about sixteen and around the same height as him Logan figured he could take him if he had to. His suit was different from Logan; his face looked like he just had a clean shave and he had a blonde good boy haircut. He had wide shoulders and looked like he played football. Although he had no idea who this boy is he could tell he was very comfortable is his outfit like he wore it a lot. When the boy finally noticed him he flinched. They stood their staring at each other for a moment. Logan prepared himself for whatever this boy would do. The boy seemed just as confused as him when he first got out the room. “Who are you?” the boy asked.
