Chapter 1: Ahh!
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" yelled Alex, shaking his cage bars. "DO YOU HEAR ME?"
When no one answered, he kicked the bars angrily and moaned in pain.
"OW! Ow ow ow! Curse you all!"
He paced the limited space he had. At least, his captors were decent enough to put him in a cage where he can stand and lay down. He didn't know what they wanted with him. He was just riding home when he felt something prick him in the neck and the world went black. He woke up in this cage an hour ago.
"Let me out! I don't even know who you are and what you want with me!"
Alex sat down and waited. No one came for him. He yawned, he was exhausted. Alex laid down on the floor and stretched out, his eyes closing. He dozed off.
Alex groaned when he woke up floating in a tank of slime with a tube sticking out of his mouth. He inhaled and felt fresh air enter his lungs. Alex realized he was naked and when he tried to cover it up he found out he couldn't move. Only his eyes could move so he took a look at his surroundings. Through the wall of slime, he could see movement. Flashes and blurs of white. He felt numb and he couldn't concentrate. His thoughts were drifting and he couldn't grasp a single one. He didn't even have the energy to try. His eyes slid shut again.
Alex opened his eyes and stretched. It registered that he can move, though it was only sluggish movement. His mind was sharper too. He looked out from inside the tank. The flashes and blurs were still there. When he concentrated, he saw that they were people. People dressed in white lab coats. He felt something was off about him but he couldn't tell what. Alex swam forward slowly and lifted his hands. He touched the pane of glass. It was cool to the touch. He wanted to bang and knock but he couldn't. He made eye contact with one of the scientist. The man looked startled and walked up to him. His mouth was moving but Alex couldn't hear anything. He was growing tired. His vision swam and he was out again.
"… she… healthy… wake up…"
"… first boy… girl… successful…"
"… vital signs… up… waking…get ready…out."
Alex cracked open his heavy lids and squinted. Something kept floating around his head, getting in his eyes. He brushed it aside and glanced outward. The scientists were surrounding the tank. He swam up faster than last time and knocked. A woman turned and pressed a button. A door opened at the bottom and the slop began to drain out taking Alex with it. He tried to hold onto something but there wasn't anything. He fell through the bottom into open space, falling and falling forever. He screamed.
"!"
