BEEP BEEP….. That is the sound Elera wakes up to. Darkness covers her entire vision. It pressed her from all sides. BEEP BEEP….. That is the sound Elera wakes up to. Darkness covers her entire vision. It pressed her from all sides. The darkness Elara feels is just about the absence of light; it feels heavy, suffocating even. It felt as if it had weight, and it filled her entire body. Her lungs, throat, and chest feel the weight. Her body reacts before her mind can. Elara gasps violently, hoping to breathe in air, but no air follows. She feels her chest being restrained, her ribs tightening painfully as she tries to gasp for air. Elera tries to move her, but she only feels her fingers twitch weakly, as if they don't belong to her. Her limbs feel distant as she tries to move them again, but they are unresponsive, as if the body is not hers. Elara once again tries to breathe, but she only feels her throat burning. Elera tries again, this time her body reacting on instinct, air rushe

The chaos and noise in the room faded away slowly; it didn’t settle all at once, but gradually. The urgency in the room has softened. Voices are no longer sharp but in low murmurs now. The chaotic movements in the room are now more settled and more controlled. The machines are now steady. The chaotic sounds are now sounding smoother than they were before.Elera slowly regains consciousness; she feels much calmer than the first time she woke up. Her breathing was smoother; it was not harsh like before. The pain she felt before was gone. The tightness she felt in her chest also loosened. She feels so light, maybe even too light. Elera still feels the heaviness in her body. Strangely, she doesn’t feel suffocated by it. Elera feels like her body belongs to someone else. It's like she has lost control over her body. Her eyelids flutter as she tries to open them; they open effortlessly this time around. As she opened her eyes, the light burned a little, but it wasn’t as harsh or blinding

After a while, the voices faded away. Elera could no longer hear their arguments anymore, as if they had moved further away. The distance between them grew. There was silence in the room again. The only sound in the room was the steady hum of machines and the sound of her heartbeat. Elera lay still on the bed, waiting, listening, and waiting. “I can’t hear sounds again, everywhere is so silent, the only thing keeping me entertained is the sound of these machines”. “I’m finally alone, but I don't feel relieved about this,” Elera can’t help but think to herself. Elera felt colder in the room. Her breathing was slower and more controlled. She can still feel the tension in her body.”“Why do I feel I have been taken apart and put together again… I really need to find out what happened to me.” Elera moved her fingers again; her movement has improved, though the progress was slow, but at least she feels more in control of herself and her body a little.Elera tries to focus again, to p

The silence in the room felt like a pretense. Elera could feel its heaviness. Elera lay still, looking at the pale glow of the ceiling lights above her. She sighed deeply; her breathing was shallow, but it was steady. Her eyes moved across the room again. The feeling of someone watching her didn’t go away. Instead, it gets stronger. “Someone is watching me, or they have been watching me for a long time.” The realisation of that didn’t settle well with her. Elera moved her hands against the surface so as to calm herself down. “If I start panicking now, it will only make things worse.” “I don’t know where I am, or who these people are…. And I definitely don’t know what they want from me.” Elera thinks to herself as her eyes continue to move across the room“One thing I know is I am not alone.” Elera’s gaze returned to the corners of the walls. Her eyes gazed at the tiny black lenses embedded in the walls. They looked so invisible that, if not for her keen senses, she would not h

Back at the facilityThe lights in Elera’s room grew dim. For a while, Elera was trying to process what happened to the light. The mechanical hub she was placed in suddenly changed its pitch. The sound is increasing every minute. “What is happening? Are they doing something to the machine?” Elera can’t help but panic. The doom covering the chamber she was placed in suddenly started to move. Elera began to panic as the dome covering her began to lift upward. “What…what is happening, where are the doctors?” The dome stopped moving. Elera’s face showed she was panicking. She tried to breathe in and out to stabilize herself. Elera felt cold air brush against her skin; she couldn’t help but shiver a little. For the first time since she woke up, she was conscious of seeing the chamber open widely. Several figures entered the room immediately the chamber dome opened. They moved with efficiency and were more organised this time around. Elera was amazed to see so many people in the room
