The two left the room after a few more scans to ensure the final results were true facts, and as Nurse Bell glanced at her wrist watch, snapped her fingers and reached into her lab pocket to recover something. Audiney was distracted by everything that came into view. Not only was he stunned by the winding hallways mazes he was guided through, but upon a level he looked down and saw an exceedingly long drop to the bottom. He must have been on the fourteenth floor from where he was looking, when really, he was only on the seventh. He found himself entranced by the height, until Nurse Bell gained his attention. She had recovered a white pill bottle in her pocket, and inside she gave him a small white tablet.
"I'll be giving you this to chew on exactly at nine-thirty in the morning and at night," she explained, "This is so you don't get hungry or thirsty during experiments."
"This will suppress my appetite?" he stated, suspiciously.
"Sort of, only accept it gives you nutrients you need, like iron and calcium," she added, and then leaned in to whisper. "Also, it does wonders for your hair."
"If you say so."
He places the tablet on his tongue, and chewed on it. Not the best thing he has eaten, but at least it was something. It tasted a little bit like crayon paper; bitter and waxy, yet it dissolved in his mouth rather quickly, like drinking soda and feeling it fizz in the throat.
This will be my food source for a while now, he realized. Maybe they can flavor it so it tastes like a calzone?
