The blinding light flashed open as soon as I walked into the big green room. I staggered backwards, a bit from the shock of sudden limelight flashing straight at me. I felt like a suspect being questioned by the police. Managing to find the spot I was supposed to be seated upon, I sat down gently on the tip of the chair. Man, I bet that I would be blind by the end of the day, but thankfully my pupils began contracting.
