Coming Back

Woah, fuck.

That was one hell of a vision!

As I look around, I find my hands chained.

I'm in a cage. Neon lights blend with the darkness around me. The place smells like a laboratory. 

Beings, no. Monsters, no. Entities dwelled in the cages around me. I sensed that glimpsing at their physical forms would ruin my mind so I closed my eyes. I hear my breath.

"...me a chance. I promise to deliver results that will keep up with the market trends. Just once! Dr. Lutek!"

I feel a brush of staticity on my right hand. 

I hear a clap, then the clicking of heels. A pair of high heeled black wearing feminine feet appear before me.

"Is this the specimen?"

Me?

"Hmm… An ancient wandering the alleyways of the citadel… "

A black helmeted head appears before me.

"Did Nakkis send you?" It speaks.

"...I think so…?"

"Did you not fit a Multynx?! Must I remind you and breathe down each of your necks for this guild to work?!"

"Forgive me." The voice was gruff.

"Remember, next time you will be in the glass case."

"Yes."

A macho man draped in black from head to toe: black helmet, black leather suit, black boots. He fiddled with the cage.

The grills retreat into their holes. 

The man clasped my foot and pulled me out. Woah.
