Chapter 2 by Fischlake1 Fischlake1

All they knew was that they must survive.

[P] Allie, Female Human

Ever been in one those isolation tanks… like the kind that you float in so that you feel weightless… and they cancel out all sound from around you. Oh! And they are completely pitch black? Yeah… well that’s where I was… or at least that’s how it felt for me… couple that sensation with what I could only assume is the feeling of when you get sedated… or I guess it’s more poignant to say the lack of feeling.

I felt like I was asleep in a void… lucid and aware that that was where I was but completely unable to do anything. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t hear or smell, I couldn’t even feel myself breath… something that I must say makes it into the top ten of feelings that I wish I’d never experienced. But don’t worry… some others from that list are coming along shortly…

Oh! In fact here comes one now. My body falling… falling… and still falling before I suddenly hitting the ground after going super speed… how I survived… I don’t know. Where I fell from… also a mystery but oh well. After I was done bungie jumping without a rope I found myself finally waking up from my dream…

My sense returned slowly and in the least useful order… first came taste as my mouth was filled with a sweet flavor. Then came touch… something very disorientating as I felt the weight of my own body sink back into me… my whole form being pushed into ground harder than I’d ever thought possible. Turns out what is said about losing something makes getting it back much more meaningful goes double when the thing in discussion is gravity.

Now able to move I did try to sit up… my whole body creaking a bit as if I hadn’t moved during a very deep sleep. But when I inhaled all that I got was a very faint sweet flavor… and no smell… that is until suddenly that sense was returned to me… and I was hit by the truckload that was the smell of flowers all around me… my nose crinkling at the sickly sweet smell… a deep fragrance of spring time. It was so bad that I blindly slapped a hand up to cover my nose and try to lessen the **** it had on it.

I didn’t have too much time thought to simply sit there and react as finally my hearing returned… and from a ringing silence was produced the smallest noise of wind… a whistling breeze that even with my returned sense of touch was completely from my skin. As I lay there and waited expecting my bodies final sense to return I gave a small breath and positioned myself sitting… my eyelids open but complete black covering the orbs they revealed…

It happened slowly… a pin prick of light slowly expanded into a tunnel and finally my full vision… the whole world appearing right before me… I had to blink a couple times to let my eyes catch up with my brain but when it finally happened I was surprised. And my voice… soft, almost a whisper said…

“Where the hell am I?”
