Continuum

It was the room. The white paint and pale linoleum blinded me from every angle, making the headache [[worse]]. The stasis bed whirred under me as I sat up. Rubbing my eyes, I swing my legs over the [[bed]].

Panic sets in and the memories come flooding back. I [[check the time]].

[[//**7:59 A.M.**//|worse2]]

Panic sets in and the memories come flooding back. I check the time. If I remember correctly I have one minute before she -- [["Goodmorning"]]

"Goodmorning", a feminine computerized voice announced. "You have been asleep for thirty-two days. If you are experience [[//tingling hands//|tingling hands]], [[//swelling of the tongue or feet//|swelling]], [[//shortness of breath//|shortness]], or develop a [[//craving for chocolate milk//|swelling]], please lay down and an associate will retrieve you."

It all comes back to me. The gas chambers, electrotherapy, injections, poisoning... *They're running human experiments* [[//Escape//|escape2]]

The single steel door slides open and fluorescent, white light reveals the void in front of me. I slowly stand up. [[//Go Down Hallway//|hallway]]

I look around for the source of the noise. *Shit,* there's an I.V. attached to me. Some liquid starts dripping down and I fight to get the tape off [[//but it's too-//|milk2]]

It was the room. The white paint and pale linoleum blinded me from every angle, making the headache worse. The stasis bed whirred under me as I sat up. Rubbing my eyes, I go to swing my legs over the edge of the bed when I realize this surface is much bigger than usual. Looking around I notice the steel door, the stasis bed, the I.V. unit and the clock all look unusually large. I glance down at my hands. Things didn't get bigger, I got smaller. [[//Check the time//|check the time]] [[//Get down from the bed//|bed]]

White linoleum floors, white table in the middle of the room surrounded by five white chairs, white cabinets against the far wall, a water dispenser... *Is that a breakroom?* [[//Try Opening the Cabinets//|cabinets]] [[//Drink Water//|water]] [[//Sit Down//|sit]]

Peering through the doorway, I am surprised to hear the sound of running water. The cobblestone chamber is filled with natural light, housing a fountain in the middle. I notice a skylight a few stories up in the air with iron bars preventing escape. Four doors surround the fountain, each painted a different color. Maybe there's a way out through here? [[//The Blue Door//|Door2]] [[//The Yellow Door//|Door3]] [[//The Orange Door//|Door4]] [[//The Green Door//|Door5]]

I let the door go as I marvel at the sight of blue sky 360° around me. *There must be screens on every wall to make this projection so lifelike* Walking further into the room I mindlessly drag my hand against the wall to my right. To my surpise, LED's illuminate the outline of... yet another door? [[//Open Door//|Last Door]]

I let the door go as I marvel at the sight of the field of yellow flowers 360° around me. *There must be screens on every wall to make this projection so lifelike* Walking further into the room I mindlessly drag my hand against the wall to my left. To my surpise, LED's illuminate the outline of... yet another door? [[//Open Door//|Last Door]]

I let the door go as I marvel at the sight of rain falling into a canopy of trees. *There must be screens on every wall to make this projection so lifelike* Walking further into the room I mindlessly drag my hand against the wall to my right. To my surpise, LED's illuminate the outline of... yet another door? [[//Open Door//|Last Door]]

I let the door go as I marvel at the sight of a burning fire 360° around me. *There must be screens on every wall to make this projection so lifelike* Walking further into the room I mindlessly drag my hand against the wall to my left. To my surpise, the wall is hot to touch. Smoke starts filling the room from unseen cracks between the floor and the wall. My vision begins to blur and as I look around I can't seeem to tell the difference between the flame projection and actual fire. *It seems so real* Coughing, I fall down to the ground trying to escape the smoke.. but [[//I...//|die]]

[[//<blink>BEEP</blink>//|swelling2]] [[//<blink>BEEP</blink>//|chocolate milk]] [[//<blink>BEEP</blink>//|swelling2]]

I look around for the source of the noise. *Shit,* there's an I.V. attached to me. Some liquid starts dripping down and I fight to get the tape off [[//but it's too-//|swelling3]]

As I turn around I realize this is not the entrance to the hallway, and there is a glass divider with metal vents on all sides of the chamber. The steel door shuts behind me. "You're losing oxygen. Every minute the chamber will remove air, I advise you sit down." [[Try to escape|escape]] [[Sit down|sitdown]]

I reach up to the metal vents and pull, but they are welded shut. *God if I don't get out of here soon I'm going to die* I feel the air thinning out and I hold my breath for as long as I can, trying not to panic. //Woossshhhh// Another minute has passed, I'm struggling to breath. *Maybe I can break the glass* I take another deep breath and brace my shoulder for impact. [[*Here goes nothing*|die]]

I Wake up to a man in white scrubs, white gloves, and a white face mask standing above me. I try to move but find myself incapable. "Shit, I thought you checked the levels of anesthesia" I feel strange pressure in my abdomen. *He's operating on me* And within seconds, [[I am unconscious again|Start]]

''You have died'' [[//Restart//|Start]]

*I don't think they thought this through, I'm still small* I look up and realize I'm now small enough to squeeze through the openings in the vents. [[Climb through vent|vent]]

Using every ounce of strength I have I manage to pull myself up and collapse in the thin tin chamber. I stand up and walk further through the shaft and find myself at a fork in the path. [[Go left|vent1]] [[Go right|vent2]]

Taking the path to the left I try to stay as quiet as I can when the alarm goes off. *Shit, they know I'm gone.* Walking faster I come to yet another set of choices. *This is impossible.* [[Go left|vent3]] [[Go right|vent4]]

Taking the path to the right I try to stay as quiet as I can when the alarm goes off. *Shit, they know I'm gone.* Walking faster I come to yet another set of choices. *This is impossible.* [[Go left|vent4]] [[Go right|vent5]]

The vents are now tinged red with lights from the emergency system. I'm in a full sprint when I come to a dead end. [[Go back|vent1]]

*Is this ever going to end?* I stop in my tracks as I hear footsteps approaching me. I peer down and see two armed guards and a woman in a lab coat running across a hallway. *I better not wait* I start to run again and stumble across two diverging vents. *I don't even want to know how big this place is* [[Go left|vent3]] [[Go right|vent5]]

*Well at least it's not another set vents* The extractor fan is on and spinning... very fast. *My size is an advantage, but I don't know if I can fit through* [[Escape through the fan|passfan]] [[Go back|vent1]]

I try to muster up the courage to jump through the spinning blades. *It can't be that hard* I take a deep breath and count down from three. *Three* *Two* *One* [[Jump|die]]

As I walk down the corridor <blink>lights flicker</blink> above me. Each step taken produces a sound much like that of a snare drum. Coming to the end of the enclosed space, I see a metal door left ajar. [[//Go through door//|Door]] [[//Go back//|back]]

Deciding against curiosity, I take a few steps backwards. The door in front of me slams shut and lights black out one by one. I break into a full sprint trying to get back to the room that I woke up in, but the [[//darkness overtakes me//|Start]].

[[//The cabinets are locked.//|LastD2]]

I pulled a paper cup from the dispenser and filled it, realizing how thirsty I had been. I tip the water against my lips and savor the cool liquid making its way down my throat. [[//*Ah*//|water2]]

*This chair is surprisingly comfortable...* *Maybe if I just rest for a few minutes I can figure out a way to get out of here...* *I just need to stay... [[//awake...//|Start]]*

Leaning back against the wall, I close my eyes and try to figure out my plan of [[//escape.//|water3]]

Leaning back against the wall, I close my eyes and try to figure out my plan of escape. I'm just so.. [[//*comfortable...*//|TinyStart]]

*Ugh my head* I try to push the hair out of my face but find I can't. *Can someone get this spotlight out of my face?* [["Who sent you?"|swelling4]]

"Who sent you?" *What do you mean? Just let me go* "You can't espace, you're cuffed to the chair. Now I asked who sent you." *I don't know what you're talking about* [[TTZZZZZZZ|swelling5]]

"Now are you going to make this harder on yourself?" *Did you just shock me? I don't know what you're talking about!* [[TTZZZZZZZ|swelling6]]

"The less you say the more you will hurt." "Who. Sent. You. Here?" *I don't know! I don't even know why--* [[TTZZZZZ|Start]]

The single steel door opposite me slides open revealing a short hallway. [[Go down hallway|shortness2]]

I let my body fall against the wall and slowly lower myself to the ground. *Slow, easy breaths* //Woossshhhh// *Another minute has passed* I close my eyes in concentration. //Woossshhhh// //Woossshhhh// [[//Woossshhhh//|Start]]
