"So what's your name? I didn't receive your information yet, it seems there's a network issue with our system. Could you help me fill out the forms", says Lisa.
"Nurse, could you bring him some drinks before we start his service," said Lisa.
Mr, would you like coffee, or can drink? She asked.
"Any! Sure! I'm Jim. Lives somewhere far from this village though" he smirked.
"So she really doesn't remember me!" Jim thought.
"Something is definitely not right, I'm sure it's not fine"I kept saying to myself.
"How come that guy looks exactly like Jim? How he gave me that pitiful look, something is definitely going on that I am not aware" I thought again.
While scribbling and scattering things away, someone opened the door and it was My wife.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Mike," she said while shivering.
"Why are you shivering? Are you sick? Was work bad?" I kept asking Evy.
I don't know what she was hiding but she kept looking around as if she was hiding from someone that's totally something else. I asked her to come and close the door…
Why is she shaking? Did something happen at that moment? I didn't even wonder how she found that room, I was scared, she was behaving so strangely.
Evy say something, come on! you are scaring me, could you just talk, did anyone hurt you while you were at work" I questioned her.
"Mike you aren't a survivor but a dog on trial"Evy said.
I locked the room and offered my wife a chair to sit on. Due to how she was shivering, it was best to offer her warm coffee and a nice jacket to put on. I could see she was okay now.
"Evy, what's there that I have been missing? I asked.
She kept murmuring something for a while and later stood up to the board and wrote hundred and twenty-four (124).
I don't really know what's going on.
"You are successful on trial 124 project," she said.
" I'm a hundred and twenty-three," she continued. We got married because it was a way for me to protect you. Each time you have Tinnitus I make sure to mark the calendar.
"What are you saying? Evy! What is a hundred and twenty-four? or whatever. Could you just break it down? I pleaded.
" I will summarize it for now, because there's no time to waste," Evy said.
" On the night after your shift, you were kidnapped not just you but your friends too. I was sitting close to you, that's how we got our numbers. Most of those who got kidnapped died for what I know now, Nodle is still alive along with your friends, but don't know what might happen later.
Also, Jim is out! He's under trial. I got in contact with him and he's currently playing a deaf role of not remembering what happened" she said.
" Okay okay, meaning we were dating and then we got kidnapped, now thankfully my friends are alive and Jim was able to come out like me but is still on trial just like me.
So you knew all this while why now? I added.
"We are being watched and this place is wired, it's the only place I know for now that they can't get us. Currently I have arranged pillows on the bed as if it's us…I will explain later, Mike, " she said.
Wait for one thing, for now, if they know you're trying to figure out what is happening thus you need to play the fool like Jim and me, I don't know who sent that to them. But we have to look for a place where they can't track us. A few moments from now this place will also be found" she added.
I have brought only Lisa here, Does she have a hand in whatever is going on? She wasn't able to recognize Jim? I thought.
"Are you following what I'm saying? Mike" she shouted.
"What's that Tinnitus? I questioned.
"From the look of things, whenever it happens…it's like time travel. As if you're being programmed. You move from today to the next week of that day and even month or year. It's really something bad. For now, you aren't able to channel it.
"Channel it," I asked looking confused.
"Huh! I thought you were smart. She said,
Well, Channel, the Tinnitus is like controlling where you want to go and once they find out you can do that, they will come for you since you are already a successful tool, She remarked.
"This whole thing is definitely worse than Tinnitus, how do I even trust you?… I questioned her.
" I stole a certain medicine on the day I was sent there to give everything about what you've been doing?
That's why you haven't had any Tinnitus for now. Even though we are being watched, they still want me to give details since I promised that you won't disturb them and we will focus on our life. We have twenty-five days till the trial is over, this is the reason why I came to you.
Also, DON'T TRUST ANYONE!
Said, Evy.
" I'm really happy that you came to me but for now what should we do," I asked.
"Well, what couples do" she smirked.
"What do couples do? I love it" I said.
We left the secret place for now… got into our house and pretended nothing was happening. I went to the kitchen where Evy was, I hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheeks and neck.
"What are you cooking, babe? It's already 7:30 in the evening. Could we just drink some juice, I said.
"Oh no! The doctor says you should check on your diet since you have a few days left for your general checkup or do you like to stay at the hospital, Evy said.
"Then can you give it to me after I finish eating the noodles? It's been a while since I had that, I chuckled, grabbing her butt.
"Haha! Funny you are! Sure since it might be of help for your health.
NEXT DAY
It's already another day for our couples thing. So refreshing since I have finally started to trust Evy.
"You've gotten a call, it's from Lisa" Evy shouted.
What does she want now? I must not let her know that Evy knows everything, that might endanger her. I thought.
", Could you answer the call, I'm working on something for now" I pleaded.
In life to get what you want you have to go through struggles, suspicions, fear of being alone, scared, and a lot in life that one doesn't know of, I'm going through one now!
For now, it's the most difficult question to ask
WHO'S REAL?
This book am holding even looks vulnerable.. *Smirks*We decided to go along with playing dumb and make the "people" forget about us. Even though I don't know them and still trying to get my memories back, as a doctor, I would say I must not stress myself in regaining my memory,Huh!Now that I have that strange energy—should I call it power, it feels like any bit mistake can get me into trouble.I, Mike, a dog on trial... *LAUGHS*Isn't it funny? Atleast the woman by my side isn't a stranger to me anymore but I can't trust anyone yet. They won't be able to try anything because, I'm their vulnerable product... Let's say am just lucky or it's fate, I have been hearing of time travel when a kid, it's kinda a myth that all believe but I being able to go somewhere by teleporting, No it's not teleporting,one can't teleport to the next year without any idea of it. If I can just go back to the time all this happened could I have Changed something. Humans are precious but to other people they
Lisa kept blabbering on the phone, but I didn't utter a word for a minute, honestly, I didn't hear whatever she was saying, everything came back to me, everything seems like falling, crushing but as I saw Evy coming out from the bathroom, I saw things back to normal, she smiled at me… Her look was genuine. "Lisa, you shouldn't worry much and from now on, I want to focus on my family, start everything fresh!". "What? Are you fit? Did Evy do something to you" she asked. "Lisa, listen up, Evy is my wife. I have done what we should have done for a long time and I don't want to bother her and stop her right to a wife." I added. Lisa was still on the line but didn't talk so I Continued saying"Have you ever wanted to live, then you get that Chance suddenly, will you throw it away because of something you don't even know where to start? I am in that situation now, where I was alone, when I couldn't think of anything, when I lost hope and trust, when I was shattered and broken that I never tho
Few weeks of doing the work as couples, Mike finally started working in the hospital... Of course the same hospital as Lisa. I'm not pissed, jealous or whatever, I believe him, I have known Mike for years. Now that we are trying to enjoy our married life it's okay.*DING DONG* *DING DONG*It was a hot afternoon, so I decided to clean the house because I felt bored just lying down and doing nothing.Mike's at work who's here this afternoon, it's not even time for him to clock out.The door kept ringing...."What the fuck!". I said and exhaled.As I opened the door, a lady, badged in and said "Nice home,Evy... Should I say Number eight" ."Point of correction, I never had a number, woman eleven or should I say Katrina" I said.Katrina looked shocked, wondering how I knew her name... She's the same woman who appeared at the hospital where Mike was first taken to when seen. I can now deal with her since I have Mike's mind now.I sat and crossed my legs with my hands stretched across the s
I almost ran out of energy.. scattering, faking, clothes tattered. Life there was like hell. After being kidnapped,I hardly believed that those there were Humans. "Tragedy"that's what you can call at first but it's like a game to them. I became a doctor to save but those there are specialized doctors and scientists in murder.Few days before attending the hospital to see Lisa…*PANTING* PANTING* PANTING*I found myself somewhere—I didn't know how I managed to get there. Lights flashing in my eyes, the hearing of sounds,was it the bell of the underworld.Yes, the grim reaper is walking towards me."Hello Sir! Can you hear me?" Called out Evy."Jim! No! Number three hundred and one"she mumbled again.Evy managed to get Jim to Her car, it was Jim's lucky day what was Evy even doing there. Long distance hearing,scents of drugs woke Jim up in fear, he takes the scalpel from the liver dish beside him."You want to try it again,"he shouted.The doctor in charge of Jim walked in and said"C
That place is like hell…people locked up, chained, people shivering, screaming in pain, begging for their lives to be saved. A life we used to do how we want, now I have,we have to beg for it. How can a being drag another being and even drain their blood out when they aren't progressing… Taking out their organs to sell when they become a failure… That place makes you jealous of animals… Even animal's are living peacefully.*BANG BANG BANG*Even the butchers won't cut a meat like that, seeing blood spilled each time, pretending to be mad, working to be sure I don't be a failure, the ambition to go for it, the emotionless to be what they want as long as I survive, that's the desire to live, that desire to live grows deeper, I was greedy for life. I saw People, someone's daughter,father, sister, aunty, mother, going mad, losing themselves… I couldn't pity them, I couldn't help them, because the greed to live made me a monster.*LAUGHS*A monster, No! I'm not a monster is just a desire, a
The perfect weather changed and started to rain heavily, you could hear thunderstorms very loud. Mike quietly closed the windows properly,as his wife had to switch off the lights and every power source of light.Mike said"Babe, hurry... Due to the thunderstorms they will turn off the lights"."Do you know this quote or is it a poem ' The sea knows when to end and return to start again '. That doesn't mean it failed" Evy asked."Oh yeah, I know of it 'As one can naturally go blind at night by the sea side but fell in love with the cool breeze and that gives natural peace" Mike added.They finished securing the house and carefully went to their bedroom.Mike whispered"it seems the lights can last for an hour and thirty minutes. Can we talk about Jim because-"Evy interrupted back and said "They can't see us but have to speed up. They will be exactly an hour; the real time for the lights to come is one hour thirty minutes." ***********Sounds like a machine cutting down thing
They drove at night and arrived at midnight. The midnight weather over there is so cozy and nice.They parked their car somewhere to avoid being seen or noticed by anyone and Walked through a garden designed as a maze.Mike whisper's"Do you come here alone? I mean do you walk in here alone, grrr! You're so amazing. My superwoman wife".They arrived at the house where Jim is hiding.Jim in the kitchen getting himself Ramen, wearing his girlish apron with soft music playing. *DING DONG* *DING DONG*As Evy continued pressing on the doorbell, Jim was just listening to music and watching how the clock hands move with the noise *TIC TAC* *TIC TAC*While he's dancing to the soft music, there stands the couple's continuous alarm.Thankfully he got to hear the doorbell sound and opened it. Evy pushed him out of the way and bashed inside,she furiously said"Can you not hear at all, oh I see, cooking ramen with soft music playing.Jim was about to reply and saw Mike coming inside too and he co
If changes were to occur… No! If that day you were given a choice would it have changed anything. I know it's late but when an opportunity calls do you hang up or take the call.. yeah that opportunity, I will grab it like there's no end.A fine young gentleman in a suit, styled hair dyed black with a white eyebrows went to the office and said"Hello, ma'am the interviewee's are ready"" Myles,Sure start calling them out, I am going to take my seat" Evy said.What if then, you won't take an interview or test would you change it, what if the outcome gets worse than before.Evy's thought came to her"Take risks to get it"."Ma'am, were you saying something?" Myles asked."Huh! Noooo"At the hall were the interviewee's seated, some looked comfortable, others sweating while being nervous, others with a bearable face but legs seemed to be shaking, they had a nice tag with their numbers on. Being said
