Where am I?
Where are they? Am I with them? The silence - they've been haunting the unpopulated shadows and corners of the globe, choosing at random their next victim. They tell the world they need us for the experiments as they call them, that they need us to fill a "greater purpose" . A creature cabale of so much cruelty can not produce shame. I stare ahead. It's only me in this dark little room. The air is musty and smells of infection.
