3034: The Awakening

Amanda Jones Science Fiction

The light is bright causing me to close my eyes . I can hear muffled voices around me. My heart is pounding and my knees are weak. Where am I? The first thing that pops into my mind.

I feel a warm hand touch my upper arm and another touches my other arm. My hearing is as if I have a pair of ear muffs on causing all voices that speak to me to become muffled.

I manage to squint my eyes open the bright white light piercing through them like needles. My throat is dry as I try hard to swallow. No saliva to coat my tongue.

Looking around realizing I am in some strange building. White walls. Cold hard floors bright white lights. A man and two women in white lab coats. I don't know how I do it but I manage to...RUN.

I bolt out an open doorway as fast as my weakened legs would let me go. I stumbled into the walls along the hallway staggering like a drunk. Still I managed to keep moving. I had to get out, to get away. But where am I? Which way is the exit? How did I get here?

Distracted I hit something hard and fall back onto my butt. Out of breathe and still groggy I look up to see the obstacle in my path. She was a tall masculine woman. Piercing green eyes and a powerful glare that'd make anyone cower in fear.

"Are you quite done?" she said sternly crossing her arms.

I nodded.

"Thank you Z for catching her." The elderly man calls out.

Z nods keeping her lips clamped shut and her arms crossed.

"Where am I?" I shake in fear.

"Welcome to 3034." Z responds coldly.

My eyes go wide.
