''“I don't know why it has to be this way. I've tried everything. It's always the another person's fault. Not everybody is a capitalist.”''

The words spoke clear to me as I woke, truly having no idea where I am. I can hear the reverb bounding around, and a few seconds later, the speaker starts again:

''“There is no reason for you to be alarmed. Please, do not feel the need to move around too quickly...”''

This piqued my interest a little. Not objecting to the command; I stayed prone and motionless, trying to remain still, keeping my hands frozen.

''“Are you listening? Good... take note that the lights will be shut-off in just a moment. Once we are sure that you are not moving, you will be relieved of the constraints. Then you can move around as you like... afterwards.” ''

I felt like saying, “Am I allowed to talk?” I couldn't find the right words so I hadn't spoken yet. By the way things were heading, I'm not too sure I would get a response. The more I stretched an arm or a leg, it was intensely more difficult to freely move the limb. The restraints cover over me like wrapping paper.

''“There is a string attached to the constraints covering your face. Reach out slowly and pull the string, that will release part of the constraints. Nicely done... the lights will now shut-off for about sixty seconds.”''

Three slender scientists entered the room, and casually removed the leather-like gelled canvas. It took a long time after that of sitting in the dark, trying to remain still. When the lights came back on, I'm seemingly surrounded by a new environment; whereas before the room was like a concrete chamber, now I am a short walk away from being enveloped with foliage.

The dimensions to the area have been altered magnificently, that much is clear. Through the sprouted flowerings and grass covers, a deep valley sits a vast distance away across a giant plain with herds of animals playing and wandering around. At this point, I'm extremely suspicious as to why I'm being held here, and I try to keep my cool and not get lost.

“Wait, I was already lost, remember?” the thoughts rang in my head.

I'm setting up camp not far away, and damn there is already competition for space. The animals are so friendly looking from a distance, but there is just no getting comfortable next to one.
