Chereads / Number 23 / Chapter 8 - Dream Sequence

Chapter 8 - Dream Sequence

Where am I?

It's cold. I'm in a vat of liquid.

I can feel the liquid against my body.

What is a body?

What are its limits?

What am I?

"Number 23"

Ah, I am number 23.

"Heart rate normal."

My heart rate is normal.

What is a heart rate?

Is it the thumping in my ears?

Is it what I'm feeling?

What am I?

What is number 23?

"Let him out, we need to do further testing with the other two anyway."

Am I being let out?

Who else is here?

What testing will I do?

I'm so nervous.

I fall to the ground as I exit.

What are these things attached to me?

I pull them off and I high pitched noise is heard.

They're shouting at me

I'm scared

What did I do wrong?

Why are they touching me?

I scream at them to get off

And I fling my arms

They stumble and cry

I'm sorry

I didn't mean to hurt you!

I'm sorry!

Please don't!

I'll be good!

Please!

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
