章 2: Chapter 2 : Needs
GROWLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
I wake up to my own stomach growling and I'm hungry and thirsty as hell! It is nice to wake up to a bright sunshine albeit, hungry as hell. Apparently, I didn't become a wolf's stool after all pretty lucky. Was worried considering I lost consciousness in absence of my willingness.
Well forget that, I need to find something to eat and drink first. I look around my surroundings hoping to find something of nutrition. As empty as a college student's wallet. All I see is gigantic roots swarming over each other. While following one of the roots I see a round red fruit. Looks juicy and plump full of juice and nutrition. Just looking at it makes me drool GROWLLLLLLLL!!!
Shit now it's starting to hurt. Now how to procure that high hanging luscious fruit. On second thought it might be poisonous or even kill me...
Aaa screw that got no other choice anyway.
Seeing it's almost 2 meter form the ground it's impossible to climb up there to get it with these stumpy legs and arms. Next option would be hit it with something anything, rock for example. I pick up a rock from the ground and throw it with all the strength I can muster. First try right next to it, second try about 1.8 meters high, third try barely 1.4 high and I'm already exhausted fall to ground.
GROWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
Ohh, I can feel the strength leaving my body. Oh god this is it, I'm going to starve to death. Shit I had so much to do, so much to see, so much to live for. Oh shit.
Just as I was wailing pathetically while waiting starvation for some reason the fruit fell on its own and rolls next to me. After moment of surprise I gobble the fruit like the most delicious food in the world and it tasted divine. Full of juice and nutrition. SO. FUCKING. DELICIOUS!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!
So, this is "finger licking good" feels like.
After satiating my hunger, I feel strange yet comfortable warmth going through my stomach and from there branching out to my whole body making me very sleepy. And hello darkness my old friend...
Of course, I wake up in my mind palace once again. But this time it's different it's greener. Every single block is painted green. Feels like this palace is full of vitality like forest fresher and more alive. And first door from the left is made out of ivy with picture of a bushy green tree. I try to open it but it's still locked that sucks.
Welcome to Main Interface
Information scanning: 13:00:00
So, I've been sleep for almost 10 hours and struggled with the hunger for almost 1 hour, hmm efficient.
Well since I got nothing else to do let's check out the room on second floor. I open the door and enter the room. Let's take a good look last time I got distracted by the interface. Bright room, don't know where light is coming from. Square room can't see the ends of the room, simple wooden book shelves, now that I took a good look not all shelves have a book most are empty. Only ones in the front are full of books. I pick up the first book on first self from left and open it on it
Sleep and Sedative States Induced by Targeting the Histamine and Noradrenergic Systems:
"Sedatives target just a handful of receptors and ion channels. But we have no satisfying explanation for how activating these receptors produces sedation. In particular, do sedatives act at restricted brain locations and circuitries or more widely? Two prominent sedative drugs in clinical use are zolpidem, a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, and dexmedetomidine (DEX), a selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist. By targeting..."
After reading the first page I finally understand how I knew about sedative induced sleep.
After putting the first book I pick up the second book and take look.
Wolf:
"The wolf (Canis lupus),[a] also known as the gray wolf, timber wolf,[4][5] western wolf,[b] and its other subspecies is a canine native to the wilderness and remote areas of Eurasia and North America. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb) and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb).[7] Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle.[8] Its winter fur is...."
And now I know how I knew. So apparently this room contains someone's knowledge wait not exactly knowledge more like subconscious knowledge of experience. So peculiar that my mind palace contains someone else's knowledge.
But even more peculiar thing is I seem to be okay with it. Not because I'm numb but because all this seems so familiar as if it's supposed to be all mine.
Peculiar, truly peculiar.
