Chương 1: The beginning of everything
War is the world's destructive weapon. Yes, I've seen it all and feel it all. I'm writing this while my cell. Dark, cold, and disgusting room that as small as a closet. I was a well-known politician, but because of some stupid decision, I was captured and marked as a traitor. I had a wife and two beautiful daughters. While sitting here, mourning about what I lost, I also eager to meet my family again. My wife, Iris was a beautiful woman and I long to eat her homemade pie again. My first daughter is a bright young lady that long to be a nurse. My second daughter, a cute and intelligent child who want to become a politician like me. And here I am, striped of freedom, wondering when the wars over.
Today again I woke up with no sense of time and day. How many days have it been since I'm here, I don't know. My body is itching and my clothes are full of dirt. I smell a little more pleasant than a dead body, but just a little. I haven't shower, nor shaved, nor change my clothes. I haven't eaten for days it seems. I lifted my hands that started to show only bones and the veins underneath the wrinkled skins. I touched my face, that full of hairs and rashes. I sighed again wishing for my life to end this instant, but at the same time I wish for the freedom to see the sun, to see my beloved Iris and my daughters. How many days was it since this agony begun? I have no idea. The closed four walls surrounded me show no sign of light only darkness, so I lost track of times.
As I set down here writing in the old book I carry around, I feel a presence of a human approaching. The old metal bars of the cell swing open. It musts be time for them to come and mock me again. They were never really fond of us politicians who were mean to them. Or so they thought. I was never mean to any of the poor people, I aimed to help make the world a better place, but like once in life you made some poor choice and it stripped away everything, sometimes even your life. I ignore the new comer. He stood there looking at me silently. I can't tell about his intentions or the way he see me through those pair of cold eyes. Who is this guy? Does he come here to kill me finally or to mock me like other? Out of curiosity, I peek at him. Tall, well-built, dressed in a long white lab coat. His blue eyes are as calm as the water surface, you can't see his emotions, and you can't tell what's he thinking at all?
"Inmate number 00098123, Adam. Captured during the invasion of an illegal weapon trade near border?" His low chilling voice calling out my name.
"Yes" I replied in a low and tiring tone.
"Has my time come?" I asked in a mocking tone. I'll get execute anyway just sooner or later.
He doesn't reply or look at me anymore, just standing there taking notes on his clipboard. He glares at me once, before chasing away the guard.
"Do you want freedom?" He asks.
"Is this a joke?" I laughed mockingly. Freedom? Does he think I'm some teenage boy daydreaming or something?
"I have an offer for you, but if you think I'm joking then I'll go."
"Wait" I stop him. Freedom, offer, what's there to lose when I have nothing. But if I can really get the freedom, if I can get a second chance then it's my win.
"I'm listening."
He looks at me. The vibe in his eyes telling me that if I wasted just one second of his time, I'll be sorry.
"I have an offer for you. I want you to participate in a test experiment for 15 days. After that your life is on your hand."
"..... is it safe?"
"Not a 100% sure, but I promise you I won't turn you into a life sucking zombie."
"I…." I'm hesitating. It's not a bad offer, but I don't know what to expect or what await me in the name of that experiment.
He hands me a sheet of data.
"I'll be back tomorrow, I expect a yes."
Then he left, just as he arrived.
I look down at the sheet he gives me. The stack of 4 to 5 papers with data and detail of an ongoing experiment.
Experiment 001
I flipped through the page and read to analysis every details and data as much as I could.
"Test subjects will get foods and comfortable accommodation. Is free to do whatever hobby they want but under a strict surveillance. The 5 subjects will be set free after the experiment is completed in the period of 15 days."
I read each word carefully. The data and detail shows that this is a secret experiment in other to create an army of people who is capable enough to be a destructive weapon during war. The experiment that tests the capability of human beings. And on the last page with bold letters say
RUSSIAN SLEEP EXPERIMENT TEST 001
