BIRTH
What is love? Or perhaps, where is love. Many humans in this world, in this small world, believe that love is an emotion, however, if you believe that, then theirs no difference between you and the fools who inherit the earth. Love is with no doubt a destination, yes it's the place where your emotions are being sent to be burned, whipped, scarred, and beaten, yes it is the place where our emotions are being tortured to death and I am no exception.
I had somewhat of a troubled life: parents that were always fighting, bad grades, bunch of friends you get the point, all this had happened within my two years of middle school but little did i know it was soon going to end. An accident took place while my parents and i were on our way to the mall to the south of Laredo which is located in Texas, it was a somewhat tragic accident.
we all died that day but only one was resurrected.
I woke up to a white ceiling followed by a huge migraine. Everything was a blur for a moment; then I sat realizing that this white room was filled with nothing but the bed which i woke up in and an electrical device that monitors my pulse, not even a window in sight, no idea what had taken place or why i had ivy lines running from my chest and arm.
'click click'
the doorknob began to shake on the opposite side of the room, shortly after the door opened an old man in a white lab coat appeared carrying a plate to hand. His physique was asthenic and he had the height of maybe a foot taller than me.
"Glad to see you're awake Mr. Joseph," he said that with a slight grin.
"yea..... sure, where am I ?" I replied, unsure of the situation i was in.
He walked closer, shortening the distance between us until i could look directly up at him
"Do you like the smell of the room Mr. Joseph? it's lavender" he whispered.
soon after he handed me three pills, all of which was purple
and the water that was on the plate and then said
"Drink up. It's for the migra..."
"Where are my parents? tell me now!!" i shouted while staring directly up at him.
"Medication first.....questions later..... okay" He replied as if paying no mind to the question i just asked him yet again.
I took the three pills simultaneously and chugged the water quickly
he smiled.
"Now tell me where is myy......" i stopped in my sentence as the migraine i spoke about earlier increased followed by a high-pitched ringing in my ears.
I closed my eyes and covered my ears tightly.
Then the memories began to flush in.
I saw mom and......dad.
And then I saw the accident
It was as if i had front row seats to a movie in my brain.
mom found out about dad's affair and dad began to deny it as usual, then mom struck a blow directly to his face, after which the car began to accelerate going twice as fast as the speed limit.
" You liar...... you big fat liar" she cried out
"Get your hands off me u bitch" he replied
they kept going like this for ten whole minutes paying no mind to their fourteen-year-old son they had in the back seat.
"Is this love?" I asked my self after the argument between my parents had cooled down
mom turned back and looked at me while dad looked at me using the rare view mirror since he was the one driving.
"Hey mom, dad, can I ask yah something ?"
"of cause toby, you know you can always ask mommy anything" she replied while dad shook his head, both giving me confirmation to speak my mind.
It was a simple request and yet I bowed my head
"Can you all......... the both of you, just.........DIE?"
I didn't see the expression on their faces because I had not raised my head yet.
Within 4 seconds later
I felt an impact followed by a wet feeling and the cold breath of death which led to a complete feeling of darkness
suddenly I opened my eyes only to realize that I was still in the white room which I had woke up in
"where are my parents....teLL MEEEEE?" I clenched my fist in anger and stared directly at him in sadness
"Oh but you already know the answer to that, don't you Mr.Joseph"
I began to tear up
although I hated them, I still cherished the thought of them.
i could tell that they both cared for me in their own way
I stood up, raising my body off the bed
'Ughh......that's weird' I thought to myself.
For some reason, I felt taller.
i recalled the last time I checked with my bodies measurements i weighed 185 pounds and my height was 5'6 but now I felt as if I grew a ton and lost a few pounds seeing that I had less body fat
"How are you feeling Mr.Joseph?"
"Oh I'm fine, a lil dizzy but I'm okay"
"Good......... I need you in tip-top shape so follow me" he told me while opening the door
I followed him
as I walked through the door which led to a narrow hallway the temperature began to increase, getting warmer and warmer
for some reason, it looks like my room was the only room i had seen so far, which made me suspicious of whether or not I'm actually in a hospital.
He led me to an elevator which was roughly 30 feet away from the room I was previously at
The door to the elevator opened, so we stepped in, the interior was somewhat flashy as if we had walked into a tiny cell painted with gold.
the level selector on the elevator had twelve through negative 5 levels and by the look of it, we were on the highest floor.
The Doctor gently pushed the command to which the last floor was on
"Umm Doctor, where are we?" i was curious
"Oh don't worry, all will soon be clear......fufu" he chuckled
something felt wrong here. Just what shady ass hospital is this.
"ding" the elevator made a song, signaling us that we have arrived.
well, that was fast, it technically took 15 seconds to reach the last floor.
the door opened.
"Come along now."
i quietly followed him.
"This ...... this ain't hospital is it?" i asked
i guessed my curiosity got the best of me.
"Oh, you can tell, when did you start to notice?"
"Well, first of all, the key card around your neck that says 'the teacher' was a dead give away and the fact that the only room i had seen until now was the one that i woke up in" I replied unsure of my answer, after all, this is only what I had observed up until now.
"fufufu, so that's the conclusion you arrived at, you are indeed right, this is not a hospital"
So i was right but if that's true.
"Then where am I, why have you abducted me?"
I guess this is the consequences of being right
"Abducted you? fufu, I'm the one who saved your life"
He's right, he's probably the one who brought me here.
He saved my life
I followed him to a red door, well to be honest this was the first color besides white I had come in contact with.
"This is where you will be staying, for now, so refresh yourself, there's a new change of clothing on the bed when you're done push the red button articulating the door ahead of you."
other than the bed in the lower corner of the room, the mirror which was on the opposite side, and a bathtub that was located at the top left the room would have been empty.
"Hey wait...... how long would I be here for?" I grabbed his arm as he was about to leave
"All questions will be answered soon, be patient....okay" he replied
we all died that day but only one was resurrected.

"Hey wait...... how long would I be here for?" I grabbed his arm as he was about to leave
"All questions will be answered soon, be patient....okay" he replied
he closed the door behind me locking it from the outside
then he said something that caught my attention.
"Asset twenty-six has been contained"
Asset? did he just refer to me as an asset and he also said twenty-six, does that mean they're others in a similar situation to what I'm in.
hmm, I wonder
as i removed the top that I was wearing it was then that i realized
something really weird has happened
I walked over to the mirror that was opposite the side where the bed was located.
"Wow, I've got abs,"
but how, the body that i possessed right now was somewhat muscular compared to the body i had before the accident along with the huge scar that's located dead center of my chest.
I changed to the new clothing that was provided for me and was about to push the red button but before i could something caught my eye.
to the lower corner of the room, above the bed, i saw something similar to a camera, it was small but still visible to the eye
they're monitoring me but for what reason
I guess it's time for answers
i pushed the red button to which the red door opened automatically.
"Good to see you're all cleaned up"
the teacher guy appeared as if he was standing by waiting for me.
"How long have you been waiting for me?" i asked
"Oh...I only just arrived" he replied
hmm well that's a weird coincidence
"now shall we walk?" he asked
"where are we?" I had not even the slightest idea where we are.
"oh this place is a general hospital located in the UK"
Although he said that it still felt as if he was bluffing.
After all, the accident that took my parents was no way near the UK so this has to be some game he's playing.
"I know what your thinking" he stated
I looked up at him, staring him directly in his eyes
"you think that I'm toying with you"
" That was exactly what i was thinking" i replied
"fufu you are quite the funny one Mr. Joseph or should I call you Toby"
then he said something that caught my attention.
"Asset twenty-six has been contained"
Asset? did he just refer to me as an asset and he also said twenty-six, does that mean they're others in a similar situation to what I'm in.

" That was exactly what i was thinking" i replied
"fufu you are quite the funny one Mr. Joseph or should I call you Toby"
"neither actually, I rather you call me asset twenty-six or was it twenty-five."
"HAHAHAHA" he laughed
"you're quite the pleasant one Toby." he added
"hey ummm....how long has it been since the accident?"
"approximately a year"
"A Whatttt......"
"yes you heard me right, you have been asleep this whole time."
"asleep.....this whole time....sooo why hasn't anyone come for me yet?"
"Oh Toby, don't get the wrong idea, WE OWN YOU NOW!!"
did this man just say what i thought he said, he owns me?
I took a deep breath, keeping myself in check
"And besides........... the world thinks your dead" saying that he took his phone out of his left lab coat pocket, turning it on, and then selected a video.
"Is this.......is this my funeral" I froze in my footsteps, completely shaken at what had been shown to me.
"fufufu, it's kind of ironic huh? showing a dead man his funeral"
"Is this some kind of joke to you........why have you brought me here" I grabbed the lower part of his arm right below his wrist and gripped it firmly.
"you have 2 seconds to get your hand off of my arm"
instead of doing what he said, i tightened my grip.
and just like that, in a split second, he delivered a blow directly to my ribs with his knuckles. I wasn't any good at fighting but even I could tell that this was no ordinary man, although his blow bearly did any damage, his speed was far from normal.
Just what kind of place is this.
"HAHAHAHA" he laughed
"you're quite the pleasant one Toby." he added
"hey ummm....how long has it been since the accident?"
"approximately a year"
