“How did it happen?”

The voice echoed in my head in a faded tone.

“HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?”

My vision came back and I turned around looking through the room. I had the sticky feeling of dried tears that weren’t wiped. I tried to move but I looked down to notice the restraints keeping my tied to a chair. These were not any restraints these were high quality ones that they have in a mental asylum. When my vision came back I saw a tall slender man. He didn’t look like anyone that I remembered. His eyes were crystal like blue with a ski mask that only covered his nose and mouth. He turned around checking out a table in front of him. I could see the Velcro straps loosely around his neck that kept on the mask. He turned around once more.

‘How did it happen…?”

I told him that I had no idea what he was talking about. I whispered under my breath a few words that were so inaudible that even I couldn’t understand what I was saying I did not want to offend this man. He spun my chair around as the wood from the chair scraped against the metal floor to reveal a dark room. He unhooked the straps on my back and kicked me down. He shut the door and the second the door closed I smelt a putrid smell. It was the singular most disgusting smell I have ever smelt. Imagine a dead raccoon or something that has been rotting for a couple days. Then imagine a skunk spraying the dead body. Then take a zip lock bag that has milk and spoiled eggs inside while it was left out on the cement of the sidewalk for a couple days with the sun beating down on it. Take the liquid and throw it down on the carcass. That was the smell. I coughed and gagged and as my eyes adjusted to the pure blackness I saw dust fly from off the floor from my breath. I felt around for an exit besides the door I was thrown into. I thought that the man must have had a one way mirror where he was watching me enjoying the reactions that I had to the room. Then all of the sudden I saw a flash in the corner and dashed for it. The second I got there I hit a wall after I tripped on a round object. Angered I felt around to pick it up and the second I did thinking it as a pole I tried to lob it across the room see if I could smash the one way mirror I envisioned. However, the second I grabbed it while I moved it up my hands I feel a switch and pushed up. It turns out that the pole was really a flashlight. That wasn’t the surprising thing however. What was terrifying was the fact that the room wasn’t made of metal. However, I was right about one thing and that was that I was being watched but, not how I envisioned at all. The room was not made of metal is was a thick completely clear glass. I saw hundreds of hands and faces pushing against the glass trying to escape. The hands most of them had blood and scabs where fingernails should be because the nails must have been ripped off as they tried to scratch out of the chamber. All of the people were bald men with eyes bloodshot naked and screaming. I couldn’t hear the screams though the glass must have been too thick or something. The walls, floor, and ceiling was covered in people laying down standing crouching everything, I thought this was a bad dream. I prayed it was a bad game. I screamed and realized that I couldn’t talk. I was so terrified that I couldn’t speak. I looked behind me after backing into the corner. There was a glass hallway full of people clawing their way out. The closest thing I could tell you is like the inside of a concentration camp gas chamber filled with the bony Jewish prisoners that tried to escape even though they slowly stopped. It all stopped. I thought I was dead I wanted to be gone I followed the hallway. It seemed to happen that I couldn’t see in front of me and I had to keep walking. Then everything turned black once again. I thought that I was dead. I thought this was my life flashing before my eyes. Then I awoke one more time. I shot up and looked around to notice I was in a hospital bed. I saw down my legs and everything was fine but I was wrapped in my blanket. That must have been why I dreamed that I was restrained. Then realized. I truly was having my life flash before my eyes. I chuckled and closed my eyes again. Then I think to myself while smiling: What was I thinking… why would someone ask how I did it? No one has caught me yet.
