What was all that that I just said? What is this room? There’s no furniture, just a dull, metallic door at the end. I try to move, but I’m restrained. But why do I feel so strange? Normally, I would be feeling a chill down my spine, or maybe my hearts racing. But there was none of that.

I try to raise my arm, but what I saw was not even an arm. It wasn't fleshy and organic. Just a silver, chrome metallic limb. And it seems my other arm was like that, too. But as I bend my head to look at the rest of whatever I could see, my body was the same as my arms.

Anxiousness. I believe that’s what I’m experiencing right now. Am I dead? What’s going on? I struggle and attempt to break out of the metallic restraints around my arms. I thought they might have been a bit tighter, but I broke out. As I stood up, I stumbled a bit. It’s different than walking in an organic body. How do I know what an organic body was like?

I make my way to the door right in front. It’s supposed to slide open, but it doesn't. Maybe I can pry it open? I reach over to a metallic tool resting on a low table and jam it inside the slit within the door. On the other side was a dull corridor, similar to the room I came from. Emptiness.

-In progress.
