Growing Questions

I knew my eyes were open, but my vision didn't open with them. I could feel my eyes moving, but not taking anything in. I was being dragged from a room, but the feeling in my legs was starting to return as I could feel hard rocks cascading over my bare legs. I was wearing the same thing as in my other state. It was hard to breathe, the air around me seeming to disappear every place I was brought. We finally stopped, and the temperature rose higher. I was uncomfortable warm, to the point I ached and sweat. I felt a shock on my left arm, shoving me back into reality. My vision came swirling back, a gruesome, and distorted face staring back at me. A creepy grin spread across its deformed face, and it vaporized. Behind it a row of tubes, big enough to fit a person. In fact, there were people in them. Slightly hovering over the floor. I was going to need some answers soon. I looked at each face in the tubes. They stretched far across the old warehouse looking room, on either side. They went further than I could see, but I already knew why there were so many. In front of me was the fragile faces of my friends. My family.

None of them were looking back.

They seemed to look through me.
