[QUOTE="Caliber, post: 1282241, member: 1310"] [i]Thump thump. Thump thump. [/i] Groggily, you all come about, awakened by the beat of your own heart. Your muscles ache as is from long disuse and fire seems to pump through your veins. You lie stretched out upon a cold table, your clothes torn and shredded in multiple places. Getting up, you find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings. You stand within a large room, strangely made metal tables like the one you awoke on scattered about. Unfamiliar metallic instruments are scattered about on most of them, some seemingly benign, others promising a more sinister purpose. And then, you notice [b]IT[/b] at your feet. A bloody mess, heaped upon the floor. Looking about the room again, you notice bloodstains splattered about the room, on the walls, on the floor, even on the ceiling. Even on you. For the first time you notice your clothes are more than simply torn. They're nearly covered in blood, as are your hands. Slowly, your eyes turn back to the thing on the floor. The thought rises unbidden. Was the wreckage at your feet once ... a man? It’s hard to believe looking at it. After all, what could do something so ... gruesome? And then ... the [i]thing[/i] begins to speak. The voice wheezes as the mass quivers, obviously in pain. Your whole body aches simply watching it speak and move, unsure how it still lives.
