Chapter 4

Pain.

A sudden white explosion before his eyes along explosion of agony made him grumble. He wasn't aware of expressing it out loud, but he did.

It was so damn painful. Why? What happened?
Questions still buzzed through his mind like bunch of bees. Was that how people felt at hard thinking?
He wasn't sure though. Most thought he was either complete wackjob or alien. He was counted as 'mentally instable'. And with such label went on for ages.
It wasn't anything unusual for Anthony. He was used to that already.

Another wave of agony hit his senses, this time it felt bit different. And then another set of sensations arrived.
And sudden wave of cold hit him. What the...?

Anthony's eyes blinked open confusedly into starching black darkness.
Weird.
He tried to blink it away but nothing happened. It was still dark around.

He tried to make a sound but nothing came out. At least nothing more of a faint gasp.

After handful of minutes, now awaken, man started to take in his surroundings.
The darkness didn't change, no matter how Anthony tried to make it go away. And then he registered strange humming sound. Now it really bugged him. Where in the heavenly pizza-world he was?
And the cold. It was plainly a bugger for him. After spending his life in a very warm state had made him very cold-intolerable.
And now he was totally stucked into one damn cold place.
That fact irked him very much. From sun straight into freezer. What a journey.
Anthony nearly snorted. What was wrong with him lately? Ending up in one place more bizzare than the other.
And what now?

Suddenly a realisation hit him- somebody had taken care of cold creating makeshift cover. So either he wasn't all by himself or he'd done by himself and ended up in this strange fridge.
But something told it was likely the first option.

So this meant there must be someone else somewhere beside him. He just had to get his uncooperative, frozen butt into action. And there Anthony got another reminder of his actual physical condition.
Oh damn!
Not good. Definately more worse than he expected.
