HUMMMMM!!!

A distant hum was barely audible forcing My eyes to flutter open as i layed there flat on my back in a space void of color. The ground has a cool feeling and rippled beneath me like a pool of liquid silver. The thought of where i was or what i was doing gone from my mind. Suddenly, The blank space bursted in a brilliant flame. the metal sea encompassing the whole area suddenly was set ablaze. The hot air bathed over me while i layed there motionless unable to move. The fear clawing at me as I struggled, and the heat charred my flesh. agony choking me, i fought to breath attempting to suck in air but unable to do so. the flames quickly trickled up my bare flesh quickly devouring my body. I began to thrash about still unable to move iny state of panic. The unknown tethering me to the earth as i continued to struggle to free myself. My heart raced unable to accept my faith a single thought kept me fighting. The thought that I would not die this day, I refuse to die!!!

The weight suddenly lifted, i sprange to my feet. the cold sweat trickeled down my body chilling me as I tried to catch my breath. My head spinning like i was sent through the dry cycle one to many times. A splitting migraine began pounding through my thick skull,. In a futile attempt to dull the pain, i clentched my head with my right hand. Dazed I tried to calm my nerves, the hairs on my neck standing on end. i came to the realization that it was just a dream.

Only a dream...

It felt so real but I wouldnt wish that upon even my worst enemies. I mean fuck to be burnt alive for Christ sake thats just cruel. Breathing a sigh of relief i began to take in my surroundings.With that being said...

"Where the fuck am i"

The room was rectangle in shape and illuminated with a single bulb locked in a cage. casting its dim light from the center of the ceiling the light flickering as a lone moth danced around in between the cages bars. the room was quite plain with checkered tiles so clean that my birthday suit was vaguely visible in the floor. The walls a basic grey concrete nothing to out of the ordinary and only a single steel door in site. the room reeked of that sterile smell youd expect out of a hospital. But wait a minute, how do i know that. i dont remember ever going to a hospital. In fact I don't remember much.

OH NO...

I can't remember anything. I fought to try to remember where i was, when it was, my name, or anything for that matter. my head only began to throb harder as i pushed harder to remember. static flashing before my minds eye, I clentched my teeth in pain while my mind gave me no answers.

A femine voice carried in the air from behind snapping me back into reality, "subject 0173, advance to testing area a"

"Subject 0173?! What the fuck is that!!!", i shouted in confusion. My body spinning around towards the source of my unknown captors. My eyes stopped focusing on a small box sticking out of the wall next to some shoot judding out of the ceiling. I lunged at it squeezing it in my hand in desperation. "why can't i remember anything." i asked, but was only greeted with silence. My own breath the only thing audible in the room. My rage building up until I couldnt contain it anymore, "hey!!! Answer me you can't treat people like this!!?".

"People??? you are not a human, you are subject 0173, now advance"

"What kind of crap is that, im not doing shit for you" i spat out unable to disguise my disgust.

"Advance subject 0173..." Said the intercom with an impatient voice.

"im not playing your stupid game, let me go now!!!"

"your only way out is through that door" she stated with no change in her demeanor. "Or would you rather sit there and starve to death.

I took a step back unable to process what she was saying, " youre kidding me right"?

"I'll say it again advance or die. It means nothing to us if you die or not". She said callously, "Hopefully subject 0174 will be a better investment than you".

It felt like someone straight up socked me in the stomach. This was some sick joke i thought before I hurled. My vomit plastering the wall in front of me. So much for that squeeky clean smell, as the room took on a sour scent. The only truth i had, the only thing I knew for damn sure was she was not messing around. If I didnt go through that door I was going to die.

I had no other choice unless I wanted
to ration my own vomit out and try to hold out. I steadied my breath and made my way towards the door. Nerves on end and stiff as a board, i reached for the ice cold knob of the steel door. I turned the knob cautiously opening the door readying myself for what ever came next.
