CHAPTER 15

Mathew sucked the stale hot air within his bag of black, the hood's coarse fabric itching his lips with every inhale.

"How much longer?" he asked. Of who? He did not know.

There was a chair beneath him, a smell of disinfectant in the air, and a rhythmic whirring from a place he could not discern.

"Hello?"

An hour later, he still sat, lips growing dry from all the heavy breathing, open eyes throwing out colors amid the nothing black before him.

"Demetri?"

At last, the hood released him, a soldier's hand yanking it off with a sudden jerk that forced his chin in a painful upward motion. He looked around, as the light stabbed his blinking eyes.

"Where are we?" he asked, as the scene crystallized before him.

He and Demetri sat in a small square room with metal walls. Before them, a broad panel of buttons and knobs sat below a wide glass window, which looked into another room filled with men and women in latex attire, a surgical stretcher centered among them.

Mathew rubbed his eyes and stood.

"What are we looking at?"

Demetri slapped him on the back.

"Just wait a moment."

After a few minutes, the door opened, and two soldiers escorted a man into the room at gunpoint.

"Oh, now I get it," said Mathew, as he stepped toward the glass.

He watched as they forced Len onto the stretcher, his broad face black and swollen, lower lip torn vertically into two flabby hunks. As Len lay back, one of the soldiers held firmly a gun to his face, while the other wrenched his arms into medical restraints. While they worked, Len's mouth began to move, despite its current deformities.

"What's he saying?" asked Mathew.

Demetri approached the panel of buttons and turned on the intercom.

"—and you'll be the first one," yelled Len, a fine leakage of bloody saliva spilling out the gory breach extending down into his chin. "And then him, and him and her, every last one of you. You're all dead, when I get free. I'm gonna fuck your corpses and eat your souls."

Demetri positioned himself behind Mathew.

"He's quite charming, your friend."

Mathew chewed his teeth.

"He'll do it if you let him."

Demetri nodded.

"If he's lucky, he'll get the chance."

Mathew said nothing, while the lab people placed a mask over Len's screaming face. As the chemicals funneled in, Len grew deliriously glad, one of the technicians turning the patient's head to keep drool from seeping into his lungs. A minute later, they removed the mask, and he was their pet.

"Hey, hey, hey," he murmured to the white-coated beings above him. "This is...this...this is...what is this?"

He began to laugh and one of the lab techs jabbed him with a pointy metal rod.

"Ow!" he yelled. "You bitch! You wanna die?"

She turned to another technician and nodded.

"Let's proceed," this man said.

He withdrew a large syringe and approached, while they wiped Len’s skin with alcohol. Then, the lab tech sunk the needle into the flesh of Len's right arm, and everyone stepped back.

"What did you stick me with?" asked Len through his torn slobbering lips.
