He moved his head left to right before opening his eyes. He was already familiar with the apparatus’ on his arms legs and face. He knew what was going on, to an extent. He knew there were things that looked like him looking down at him. He knew that he didn’t have the strength to break the clear barrier between them. He knew he was in a containment unit filled with liquid surrounded by lights. And he knew what was going to happen next.

He began to struggle and fight, moving slowly in the liquid striking at the barrier. He could hear muffled sounds of the others speaking. He just wanted to understand. He just wanted to know why he was here.

This was his only memory. It wasn’t long but it was the only one he had. Being in this container, people looking down at him, then the lights; He knew how it was going to end too.

The lights started up and he closed his eyes. He didn’t want it to happen but he found it inevitable. He had lost could how many times he was in the situation, but it was probably hundreds. He wanted it to end. Suddenly, as he knew it, he was shocked from head to toe as a current was sent into the container. His eyes jumped open and his back arched and he yelled within his breathing apparatus.

His arms lifted up and he lifted toward the top of the container. He had never lasted this long. He had gotten use to the pain and it didn’t hurt as bad. He reached up and somehow he felt a rush of could air on his hand. It was a new experience. He looked at it and his hand was through the barrier.

All he could this of was the chill of the space outside of the barrier. He had never felt it before. He wondered whether that is how it was like out there with the others.

He jumped when he felt something warm grip his hand and bent back, knocking his head against the bottom of the container and knocking him out.

This is when the new experiences began. He knew nothing else but the inside of the container. He didn’t know anything existed. He didn’t understand his existence.

He woke up due to lights. This time he opened his eyes slowly. The sight was incredible. Clear and crisp, everything seemed different outside of the container. Aside form feeling much heavier, He felt movement sick.

As he looked around, he was being rolled down a long all in upright stretcher. In front of him was two people in black walking with metal things in there hands. Next to him on both sides putting his stretcher was two men in white coats. All of there foot steps were in unison and none of them spoke. None of them noticed he was awake. He stared down the hall with a deep emotionless facial expression. He didn’t know what to think, what was going on? Who was these people and who was he? He wanted to communicate but he didn’t know how. So he stayed quiet as they rolled him down the hall.

After a while they came to a door and stopped. The men in black turned around and faced the doctors. He heard them speak but couldn’t understand what was being said.

One of the men in black paused. His eyes moved quickly to his face. The others stopped speaking and they all looked to him. He looked at the men that first looked at him and looked into his eyes. His light blue eyes were filled with youth and strength which quickly turned to nervousness and fear as he stared.

The other man in black opened the door and the first one looked away and opened the door. The man in the stretchers’ eyes moved to the open door to room with a small bridge that lead to a flat round platform.

He felt the chill as the door opened. He didn’t understand what happened but his body began to shake in the in stretcher as they pulled him in. They rolled him around to face the door he entered and unstrapped his restrains. He fell to the arms of one of the men in the white jacket and was sat down on the floor. He stared at the floor not knowing how to communicate or what he would say if he could.

He shock vigorously as he sat on the floor. He didn’t understand how to control it. The two men in black exited out the room and the two men in white talked in front of him. They pointed and spoke low until one of them took of their jacket and revealed his ordinary black sweater.

He wrapped it around the man on the floor and they both walked across the bridge and exited the room. It was quiet and he sat there in his own wonder. What was going on next?

Suddenly, he looked up and a man walked into the room. He was tall and had dark hair that was cut low. He wore glasses and had a clipboard in his hand. He walked across the room and up to the man on the floor and sat down in front of him. He looked at him for a second and then placed his clipboard down onto the floor next to him.

The man with the dark hair opened his mouth, the closed it. The other man just stared at him. He did it again and the other man thought he would attempt it. He did it and the dark haired man smiled. Lifting the clipboard, he turned it to the other man. He pointed at him and made a sound.

“O,” was the sound. The other man looked at the clipboard and looked at the dark haired man then looked back to the clipboard. “O,” repeated the dark haired man. The other man copied him.

“O,” It came out clear and smooth. The dark haired man smiled at him.

“So you’re learning,” He said looking down as he put down his clip board. Somehow, the other man understood this and copied.

“So you’re learning.” The dark haired man looked up quick and smiled. The other man began to track back to what the other men where saying.

“Area Secure, ready to enter the- he’s awake.” That’s what the Blue eyed man in black said at the door. “Doctor Gabriel is on his way here, cover him up he’s freezing.” That’s what the guys in the whit jackets said. It all seemed to come back to him quickly. The looked at the dark haired man and squinted.

“Doctor Gabriel?” he said. He was asking of he was the man the other two was talking about. The dark haired man opened his mouth and smiled big. The dark haired man was Gabriel.

“Yes!” He said. He pointed at himself to label him as he label the letter O. “Doctor Gabriel, yes.” He smiled. He couldn’t believe how fast he was absorbing information. Gabriel reached out and pointed to him. “Jahase”

Jahase; was that what he was, A Jahase?

“Jahase?” The man asked Gabriel, who nodded and smiled.

“Yes,” he said. The man looked to Gabriel’s side and pointed to the O on the clipboard.

“O,” he said. Gabriel nodded. That was an O. He pointed to Gabriel. “Gabriel,” Gabriel nodded again to confirm it for him. Finally, he understood; it is what it was called. It is what it was. He pointed to himself and said “Jahase”. Gabriel smiled and nodded again. He was Jahase, the dark haired man was Gabriel, and the shape was and O.

He finally smiled. He didn’t understand but it was what Gabriel did. Gabriel stood up. He thought to keep Jahase under control, he should treat him. Jahase watched him stand up.

“I’ll return,” Gabriel said and Jahase understood. Gabriel walked away from Jahase and out of the door. It grew silent again. Jahase’s eyes wondered to the clipboard Gabriel left. Glancing across he noticed 15 of the letter O on the second sheet of the clipboard. He took notice of the other letters around the O’s and it began to connect. Letters became words and words became sentences and he began to understand what it said.

“…Project #314510 is scheduled for natural reeducation about 0050 after reanimation without complication. High surveillance is mandatory.” It took him a second but he understood; Project #314510, Jahase, was going to remember all he learned about 50 minutes after we woke up. It had been 20 minutes and he had already could read and speak again. He looked up and cameras followed his every movement. He frowned and returned to the paper. “Be warned: Project is unstable. If reeducation is too rapid, Doctor Gabriel has be Ordered for Immediate termination.”

Termination: that could mean one of two things. One, Doctor Gabriel is to leave the room, or two, he is ordered to kill him. Jahase look up at the door with widen eyes. He didn’t’ know what to do. Doctor Gabriel did leave but did he go to get something to kill him with?

He didn’t want to wait to find out. He stood up quickly and turned around looking up at one of the cameras. He ran at it and leapt up the wall, grabbing it and tearing it from its post.

He hit the ground and red lights went off in the dome shaped room. He looked up and at the walls then to the door when someone busted in.

Gabriel saw the lights and heard the alarm as he was coming down the hall. He gasped and ran down the hall wand entered the room. There Jahase had ripped a camera from his placement and had been nervously looking around.

Jahase froze in place as he saw Gabriel. Exterminator. Jahase decided to make a break for it and ran at him. Gabriel couldn’t react quickly enough; before he could blink, Jahase was floating over him making a dive for the door. Gabriel fell back and hit the ground just to see Jahase run out the door. He flipped over and reached out as quick as possible.

“Jahase,” he yelled but the door had closed again and muffled his voice from Jahase’s ears.

Jahase ran down the hall as quick as he could with ease. He had no idea where he was or how to get away he just knew he had to find an exit. He reached the T in the hall when he stopped at 2 soldiers in all black from each side appeared. All five of them stopped for a second and looked at each other.

“Close the hallway!!” yelled one of the soldiers on the right and the other one hit a button on the wall that dropped 3 inch cement walls from the ceiling and close off the hall in all directions. Now it was just Jahase, and four armored men.

The two in front on both sides unleashed a furry of rifle fire toward Jahase’s head and Jahase dodged it by leaning back far enough to where his back was parallel to the floor. They paused and he lean back but stayed in a couching position.

Pushing off the wall, he dodged a second hell of gunfire from the two on the right. Bouncing to the other wall, he quickly jolted back to dodge a
