1 1 Glowing Box

Wen sat pushed up into a corner of the white room. He felt scared, yet happy. The sharp pain down his arms was enough to keep him from going to far into his mind. It was good.

He had just gotten back from being 'checked' apon and his throat was sore from all the screaming he had been doing. Despite the pain, all he could do was laugh. He didn't even know why he was laughing but he felt he had to, as if his laughter would take the heavy feeling out of his chest.

As his crazed laughter sounded in the background, a bright light shone out of the little barred window and the ground quaked. The sudden events made his heart race and the laughter died in his throat. He grew curious so he stood up to peek out the window. The window was really high so to look through it he had to tip toe dispite him being exceptionally tall.

'Too bright.' he shrunk away.

Blinking the blindness away, he looked again and saw absolute carnage.

The world was on fire.

'What the heck.'

He squinted, seeing tiny people running around frantically as something huge emerged from the large crater in the ground.

It was a large box. Yes, a large freaking box came out of the ground. Wen couldn't supress his laughter and so a light chuckle escaped his lips. He muttered to himself through hid chuckles, "What the heck is happeningggg."

He stood there watching the whole event play out from the sixth floor of the asylum. The box glowed yellow and slowly opened, releasing a puff of gas around it blurring out the yellow light emitting from the center.

Most people had either ran away or were dead when the box hit but some people were curious and decided to stay. These people were idiots.

I mean seriously, if a box comes down from the sky and kills a few people, would you stay there? No ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ).

The light inside seemed to grow dim, as if the atmosphere from earth caused the ball of light to retract. Wen heard his door bust opened, skidding on the floor, but before he could even being to turn around two warm hands covered his eyes. That was when the shrinking light suddenly exploded, washing the whole world in white.

Wen lost his balance and fell back, along with the person who had tightly covered his eyes. The hands removed and he could see again after blinking. Still, dark spots from his eyes being pressed apon danced in his vision.

He looked at the man who had blocked his vision, he was wearing a lab coat which meant he was a doctor at the asylum. Panting, the man stared into Wen's eyes, not bothering to get up.

"..." They sat in silence for a good minute before the man sat up and pushed Wen off his lap, who had stayed there after they fell. "We have to get out of here."

"?" Wen was confused but he didn't know how to express this feeling. His heart was racing, adrenaline was running in his blood, yet he felt calm dispite knowing nothing. The strange part was, he didn't even take the medicine the doctors gave him earlier.

The medication was to calm his nerves as they did the weekly test. It usually made him feel tired and high and he didn't like it one bit so he kept the pill in his cheek before spitting it out when he got to the safety of his room.

"What's happening."

Wen was picked up by the doctor, his lab coat already had soot from the impact of hitting the floor after the light explosion. "Don't speak much and cover your nose, ok?"

Wen's face scrunched up. His facial expression told the scientist everything he needed to know; Wen was a stubborn man who didn't like to listen to rules. The man rolled his eyes before pushing Wen's head down against his chest. "If you want to survive, your going to have to listen to me, you hear?"

Wen had struggled alot, but being malnourished, his retaliation attempts were as week as a mouse fighting an elephant. He finally gave up and choose to use words, his voice muffled againts the doctors lab coat, "Where are you taking me."

"Shh."

Wen listened to the steady pair of shoes clacking down the hall as he looked around, moving his head in every other direction, yet keeping his mouth and nose covered by the mans white cloak.

This wasn't the first time he was out of his white insanity chamber yet the vibe was way different. This area was also white but atleast there was doors with windows and he could see inside. Most of the doors were closed but some doors were wide open with people laying on the floor in weird positions as if they had suddenly dropped dead.

'What happened... did it have something to do with that weird glowing box?' Wen shook his head and burried his face into the doctors lavender smelling neck.

Soon, they stopped infront a door.
