I woke up in a dimly lit room. I don’t remember who I am or where I am or how I got here. I don’t see the door at all, no way out it seems. Only the walls. In the middle of the room is a table with a dictaphone, these two are the only items except the light bulb that hangs over the wire above. But I was certainly confused and scared. Where am I? Who am I?
I didn’t have much choice, I decided to press the “Play” button. Whoever put me here is obvious with what he wants me to do. The audio recording said the following:
“Test, test ... is this junk working? Okay I don’t have much time to explain, I’m you. You are currently from the past which is actually from the future. I know, it’s very complicated, but it all started when they invented time travel and when it became available to the public and commercialized. ”
No way this is impossible I was thinking to myself as my eyes widened in disbelief. It must be some unsavory joke, a prank. That voice on the dictaphone doesn’t sound like me at all. Whoever is behind all this will pay, I thought, scared and angry. Audio continued:
“If you intend to survive for your and my good, listen carefully to my instructions now. DO NOT RESPOND TO “HER” AT ANY COST. It is there to deceive you and keep you forever. First the light will start flashing and then the crate you are currently in will start shaking. Then hold your breath for at least a minute, then close your eyes, and don't, under and circusmtance open them! I know the feeling of her bony fingers and sharp nails will be horrible but you have to be stronger and NOT OPEN YOUR EYES. In case she becomes brave for some reason and starts to open your eyes with her fingers, QUICKLY TURN TO THE OTHER SIDE. Don’t talk to her at any cost. They call her Cronoska. When you go out, the ugliest creature ever will be waiting for you. A dark version of you that represents all the bad that others see in you. As difficult as it will be, you must not say that it is not you, you must accept that it is you ... ”
Just as the recording said that, I thought out loud, “Okay, that’s a cool story and all, but where am I and how do I get out?”
“... and about the location - you are in a box of lost time. It is in your subconscious and this situation only happens to people who cannot stand change and to those who are afraid of it. You will come out easily, you just have to face your fears of the unknown. I believe in myself, I believe in you. Good luck. And my last piece of advice, time is not waiting for anyone. ”
Did he answer my question through a recorded message? Nah, he probably knew that I would be confused about where I was at some point. I’m still stubborn about the fact that this is all just some elaborate prank ...
That is, I have been until now ... the light bulb started flickering ...
