#Snippet 3 - Dream

CW: lab whump and restrains mentioned. First person.

When I woke up again, there were no people around, which was normal and expected. What made my eyes open wide in surprise was, at first, the ceiling; it wasn’t white. It was made of wood, painted in a dark blue color, and it had a single light bulb, small and circular, so different from the several rectangular lights from the lab.

I knew it was useless trying to sit up, by then, I would surely be too restrained to move a finger; to make sure I would have no chance of running away again. Still, maybe because my so-often-scared-of-light mind found the dark ceiling oddly calming, I tried to get closer, to sit up anyway, to my surprise I managed to do so, there was no straightjacket, no ropes or straps keeping me in place, and the more I looked around less the place looked like a lab. It’s a dream. I was sure. I could never have so much freedom in real life.

But if that was really just a dream then I never wanted to wake up again.

I do like to start my novels with people running away, don't I?

Caleb running away from the random criminals that attacked the bulding where he lived.

Canis running away from the lab he was being experimented on.

Elise running away from the place where she was having her blood drained.

Atena wasn't running away, she was being tortured so she wouldn't try to run away. The story starts with people rescuing her by mistake tho.

Doran isn't running away! Neither are the children from The Room, they are all trying to find the truth.
