Faraday was studying data today. There was little practical that Peter could assist with so he had been given the day off. It was now day 10 and today’s dose of blue medicine would be his last. Faraday was going to give him a check-up tomorrow morning.

Since waking up at the facility, Peter had been confined to his room, the lab, or the rec room. He was beginning to feel claustrophobic. Faraday had forbid him from going outside, explaining that the building was currently sealed to prevent ingress by the virus. The only air getting into the building was through industrial filters on the roof.

Peter peered in through the windows of the lab and saw that Faraday was slumped over his printouts, obsessing over every line of text. Peter had noticed that when the man was concentrating on something you could start a fire and it would not distract him.

Peter headed down the corridor, rattling locked door handles on either side, bored and anxious. He didn’t want to spend the day kicking his heels because he would end up contemplating his existence. And his existence was daunting.

The elevator and stairwell were both locked so he couldn’t leave the building even if he had wanted to. The same was true for reaching the upper floors. He was stuck in the middle of the building. Nowhere to go.

He eventually resigned himself to spending the afternoon in his room with one of the paperbacks that Faraday had provided him with. He climbed onto his bed and chose a book called The Hunger Maze. He assumed he would read all the books in time, so made his current selection only by virtue of it being on top of the pile.

Opening the book for the first time brought a warm, cosy feeling to Peter and gave him an overwhelming certainty that he was an avid reader. A part of himself had returned, been rediscovered.

He was about to turn the pages to the beginning of the story when he noticed something written on the inside cover. It was the looping blue ink of somebody’s handwriting.

Faraday will kill you.

Don’t believe his lies.

Get out.

It’s too late for me. I’m infected.

That was it. The whole message.

What the hell?

Who had written it?

And why?
