I suck at writing. I wrote for half an hour from my phone and ff deleted it. I should really give up. But I won't. Still on my phone, but SUCK IT!
The gate loomed above me, cold and intimidating. Just looking at it made me shiver in my HAZMAT, which was surprisingly comfortable. The whole thing just really freaked me out. I still don't even understand how they built it, though. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, not something made in a basement. But, there was something, off, about it. Like something was just waiting in the darkness, the shadow that was most of the interior, to grab you and riptearshred-
"Danny? You alright?" That voice brought me back to the present. Sam, one of my two friends, was staring at me, concern painting her expression, holding an old fashioned camera. Tucker, my other friend, was looking at me in concern, a gadget in his hands. They were still staring at me, what was I- oh, right. Talking. "Yeah," I said, giving a shaky laugh, "I'm fine. Just got... Uh, anticipation?" I tried to come up with something to cover up my moment of weakness.
Sam didn't look convinced, and Tucker looked about ready to fall on the floor laughing. "Right." You could taste the sarcasm dripping from her tone.
"Alright, fine. The thing just gives me the creeps, alright." I admit, glancing at the machine again. They looked at each other, then shrugged. I put on my most confident face and said, "Okay, I can do this, easy. Let's get that picture!" I turned around and quickly marched to the portal, Sam and Tuck exchanging glances behind me.
Quickly, too quickly I silently added, I was at the tunnel, staring into the darkness. After a brief hesitation, I stepped into it, so close to the pitch dark back that I could almost see light being sucked away. I shook my head and, turning around, my foot got caught in some wires, but I caught myself on the wall. I was about to laugh it off when something gave way under my hand. Time seemed to slow down as I looked up, and when I saw what I was leaning on my heart jumped into my throat. It was a green button, smaller than my palm, but all I could see were the big red words under it saying On. I vaguely heard Sam and Tucker yelling something at me, but I couldn't hear it. I turned my head, feeling like I was moving through molasses, when I saw green light in the corner of my eye. It got closer almost right after I noticed it and when it reached me-
Pain. All I could feel was pain. I couldn't even think! Molten metal was moving through my veins. Lighting coursing up and down my nerves. My skin was burning and freezing and covered in acid and I couldn't breath! Every cell in my body was being penetrated with something and it was so horrifyingly, agonizingly painful, but I could feel every. Single. Cell. Dying.
And as sudden as it came it stopped. I was lying on the ground, something, two somethings, were helping me up. And then I saw my hands, covered in gloves. But not black gloves. They were white. I looked into the mirror on the wall and-
I screamed
I woke up gasping for breath. Panting, I glanced at the alarm next to my bed. It read 4:03, which was an hour more than last night. I sighed, and as I was laying back down I felt a cold travel from somewhere in my chest to out my mouth, making me shiver at the coldness of it. I groaned, but stood up even as sleep called for me.
And as I reached to that ever present coldness at the back of my mind, and the rings ran over my body, wherever they passed felt like coldhotacidburning agony, gone as quick as it came.
And as my pulse stopped, so did my breath, and I died. Again. Again. Again. And forever, again.
There, finally. Crappy ending, though. This version is vastly different to the original, but that's gone so who cares? First fic ever, review if you have the time, would you kindly? Probably won't ever do this again, but I might! Doing this from my phone, so tell me any typos in the reviews. Also, I used italics, and bold, but it might not transfer when I copy'n'paste it to ff, so, yeah. That's it. How do I end this? I'm not even trying to be funny, I just can't seem to find a good place to end the authors notes. Shit.
