TEST

BOOK 1 of the TEST series
"Her heart raced, sweat pouring down her face. Just a little further. The door came into view and with one last effort, she threw herself in. Ailin's eyes snapped open, her mind still in the dream. She looked around wildly, scanning for threats. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep, squinting under the harsh lights. Tiny black dots danced around over her vision, blinding her even further. She tried to move, but found she couldn't. Something was restraining her. She lay, soaked with sweat in a pale grey room. Several minutes past until her eyes adjusted and her heart calmed. Exhausted with her struggle, looked around, trying to remember how she got here. She looked down at what she was strapped to. It was a tan surgical chair, next to it were implements straight out of a science fiction movie. Nearby, a monitor beeped steadily in sync with her heartbeat. The walls were bare, save a small screen above her head. There were no doors and no windows. She racked her brain for why she was there, and for how long. She found she couldn't remember either. She couldn't remember anything. Her thoughts were interrupted by a small buzz. The screen above her flickered to life, filling the room with a dim purple glow. Her eyes widened as the screen spelled out the words, "This is a Test".
