Day 1: You wake on the floor of a small white room illuminated by a shallow window. Your feet almost touch the door.
Day 2: Warm yellow light shines down, but the frosted glass reveals little. A thin wire mesh strip frames the glass.
Day 3: There's no obvious lock or catch. You push as hard as you can with no effect. The light seems… wrong somehow.
Day 4: It feels like the sun, but you realise the window is a wall mounted light! You feel tired & your heart races.
Day 5: You smash your arm against the glass again and again. Panting, your arm reddening in the light, you collapse.
Day 6: You recover your self control as you crawl to the door. Glancing down you see thin seams on the padded floor.
Day 7: You push the door into the wall. It slides up faster that you can see. Light shines out into a dark corridor.
Day 8: The light illuminates an odd symbol opposite. To the right darkness. To the left you can see a distant light.
Day 9: As you approach your eyes can't focus on the symbol. You feel increasingly anxious. The angles are all wrong…
Day 10: You walk left toward the distant light. The breeze on your back makes you shiver. You start to feel thirsty.
Day 11: You continue walking toward the light. It's coming from a floor level rectangular hole in the corridor wall.
Day 12: You kneel & realise you're looking under a partially open door into a room identical to the one you woke in.
Day 13: You slide under feet first, scraping hips then shoulders through the tiny gap. Naked and bleeding you stand.
Day 14: Apart from its door the room's identical to the one you woke in. Down to the thin seams on the padded floor.
Day 15: The seam by the door seem frayed. You pick & pull away the padding. Then freeze on hearing a distant scream.
Day 16: Under the padding you see a tiled metal floor. Each tile slightly wider than your hand. The screaming stops.
Day 17: The tiles are identical apart from one by the door with V-001/29A etched in the corner. You feel very tired.
Day 18: You try to pry the tile up from the floor, but your hands don't want to work. You feel tired, thirsty & hot.
Day 19: You feel dizzy and separated from your body. Tired, hot, & weak you can't stop yourself falling unconscious.
Day 20: You remember… Riches. Success. Love. But now you are hungry & alone. They locked you away. Forever. Because…
Day 21: …you were better than they were. You were more fit for the world. A wolf among the sheep. They took it away.
Day 22: You thought you were the shepherd as you were being herded. Driven by the flock until you had nowhere to go.
Day 23: You wake to find yourself being dragged from the room. You hear a voice say "It is unhealthy inside Cousin".
Day 24: You thrash & scream, but the grip on your forearm is unbreakable. You are effortlessly lifted off your feet.
Day 25: Howling you are smashed hard into the wall. You see enough stars to light up a Christmas tree. Then nothing.
Day 26: There's no retreat. The symbol that cannot be seen constrains you. You're boxed in. Isolated. Hidden. Alone.
Day 27: You wake—dragged by your ankle through something wet on the corridor floor. You're thirsty & it smells good.
Day 28: Your captor pauses and you use the opportunity to lap at the gritty liquid on the floor. It tastes glorious.
Day 29: The corridor illumination gets brighter. The wet floor looks black in the sliver light. Your captor lets go.
Day 30: You tentatively say "hello?" to your erstwhile captor. After a pause they respond "Do you remember, Cousin?"
Day 31: You're pulled upright. Your captor smiles, says "What a pity", then cleanly snaps your neck.
