Chapter 1: A Human Body
The Last thing I remembered was being destroyed in Stanley's mind, the actual pain of being scattered to the blue flames and then blackness. I was still there, only I wasn't.
I opened my eyes, the first thing I see is green blurriness, I seem to be floating in something gooey, I look down to see I have a human body, naked except for a pair of white shorts. There's a mask covering my face, air filtering through it. I swim to the edge of the tank, peering out, of course I'm in Sixer's lab! Stupid! Wait how did I get here? Whose body is this? Ford comes into view, he drops his cup of coffee when he sees me staring a look of surprise on his face. He comes over and presses a button "Hello Cipher"
"What the hell is going on Ford!" I argue.
"I'm giving you a second chance" Ford says, he presses another button, I begin to sink, the goop disappears, I hit the bottom of the tank with a soft thump, I'm now able to see myself clearly, human fingers, toes, hair even. Everything is human. Ford chuckles "Human bodies are hard to make, but I had some help from the previous owners of a boy band that had cloning machines. I bought this tank off him" Ford pats the tank I had been in, my eyes blur slightly, I rub them, a yawn escapes my lips. Ford helps me up, I wobble slightly "This is weird" I say "Why are you helping me? Why are you doing this? Why couldn't you let me just stay dead?"
"Everyone deserves a second chance Bill"
He cleans me off with a towel, tugging what appears to be a Mabel sweater of my head, it fits me perfectly "They know, don't they, the twins?"
Ford nods "Like the sweater?"
I nod "Cozy"
He sits me down on a bed, "Get some sleep Bill, if you need me just yell"
I get under the covers, I'm suddenly tired for the first time in eons, I close my eyes happy to sleep.
