The fatigued young man lay on his bed, turning around whenever his mind deemed it to be. Myriad thoughts swept into him over the irreversible action he was going to subdue his body to in the next hour but this will bring forth new power within him and it was too tempting for him to refuse. This was what he wanted after all.
" Arrghh, I can't ease my mind" he shouted and threw his black pillow towards the wall.
" What to do, what to do?" he asked himself, he was hoping something would take his mind off this important matter.
" Why don't I stroll again? if I'm lucky, I might bump into that pretty lady once again" he said with a slight grin on his face.
He went for his door and stepped outside. Just as he did, his eyes met those of the white lab coat-clothed employees, there were about four of them and they looked at him suspiciously from a short distance.
" Can I help you?" he called out however, instead of an answer, he was ignored and they went their way not looking back at him.
" Well, what do you know? There are shitty people here as well" he cried out, perhaps he was hoping they'll hear but unfortunately or rather fortunately for him, they were out of range.
"Tchh.."
He walked on the linear path set before him, the floor and the sides of the path had this grey metallic color and appeared to be well fortified. Occasionally, he met some of the walls with parts replaced with glasses on them allowing passers-by to see through and witness their operation, and just like the nerd he was, he spent a great deal of time watching from outside not bothering to engage them.
He only had thirty minutes remaining while he still lurked around but unlike last time, he paid heed to the directions and was confident he wasn't going to miss his way.
"Ahh, this is tiring. Seems like I'm the only one not busy right now, everyone else is occupied with some duty or the other"
He went into his pockets for picked up his phone.
"I have about thirty minutes"
" This feels like forever, I shouldn't have left my room" he spoke to himself.
With that, he decided he was going to elapse the rest of the time he had in his room.
Twenty minutes had passed and he only had ten more thus he headed to Jaus lab to prep himself.
WHOOSH
The doors to the lab came open and a seemingly confused young man came forth.
" Jaus!"
"What is it? John"
" Let's go on with it already, this early shouldn't bother you right?"
" Yes of course it's no problem, just lay down there," he said and pointed to a tilted flat black chair at the side.
" The process is going to cause a lot of pain so I'll have to inject painkillers to ease them for you"
"Sure" Jaus brought up a syringe equipped with a needle.
" Here goes nothing" he pushed it past John's skin and released it.
" Ok then, get up"
" Are you going to put me in those tubes" he pointed to the transparent colorless tubes at one side of the lab.
" Yep, you're quite sharp or perhaps you've seen a lot of movies," Jaus said and laughed.
" Come with me"
The two men walked towards the tubes and after around a minute, he had fixed John in one of them. John was in there half naked with just his underpants on, slowly and heavily breathing as he calms himself.
" Alright!"
