Chapter 4 - Questions, Doubts, and Revelations
Author's note: Hello, everyone! I'm back with the fourth chapter, which is technically more of an interlude, I guess, due to its short length. On a serious note, I've been noticing that when I visit the mobile site, ads appear in the middle of my story. Not before, not after, in the middle, DURING A CHAPTER. Quality fiction does not need commercial breaks, people! Anyway, with that aside, let's address your reviews.
The Illuminaughty Pine Tree, she is definitely quite the character, yes. ;)
Guest, thanks for your thoughts!
Turrislucidus, I may not have specified whether or not Mike was wearing gloves, but I was definitely thinking of the Tin Man when I wrote about him snapping his fingers! Besides, doesn't the movie share some similarities to Wizard of Oz? The factory itself looks rather bleak due to the cold, gray walls and the white snow on the ground, but once inside, you are lost in a world of bright colors and pure imagination. Wait, did I just make a reference to the wrong movie? Whoops! XD
Squirrela, well, the idea for the story did come to me while playing Dead Space, so I guess that's why it seems like it could be a video game. :D Now, on with the story!
Audio log # 2: ID number 586749...it's Mike Teavee again. My "mentor", Stella, is starting to act rather strange, and I really don't know what to think about her. Whenever I ask her questions pertaining to my mission, she just brushes me off for no apparent reason other than to "take care of other business". I think she's up to something, but I don't know what.
I seriously hope that I'm not the only living soul inside this stupid factory, because she could very well be leaving me for dead in here. Wait, what am I saying? Screw that! I still have a mission to carry out.
Why do I even have to quarantine this place to begin with? I'm not one-hundred percent certain, but the government said that I was the only suitable person for the job. My amnesia may have affected certain aspects of my memory while in cryogenic stasis, but I haven't forgotten how to program and hack into computers, even though my knowledge may now be outdated by over two-hundred years. I'm sure that's why I was chosen; because no one else would have known exactly what to do with those ancient computers. Anyway, this is Mike Teavee, and I'm signing off.
I hope you enjoyed this short chapter. Feel free to review, and stay tuned for more.
