Choices, many of them. Us. Ours. Me.

A choice? No. Destiny.

My Destiny.

Randy awoke from his dream with a startle, his heart was racing, he was breathing heavily and bathed in sweat. The first thing he saw was a white surface that had quickly changed to a dull grey as his eyes adjusted to the light. He felt the softness of the bed he was lying on soon after, then a very low humming sound that came from no particular direction. As he sat up the first thing he noticed that his breathing had slowed down to normal which was odd as his heart was beating out of control just a moment ago. His eyes moved to look at the room he was in, it was an ordinary rectangular room, the walls were a dull grey and thin posted lights were etched into them. The only object in the room was his bed and the only other notable object was the door directly across the bed. Randy then noticed he was naked and there weren't any clothes nearby from what he could see, his eyes then caught on his skin. There was no sweat. He could have sworn he had felt as if he had sweat all over his body but now as he looked at his bed it didn't have any trace of any kind of moisture on it.

The humming was consistent.

Where am I?

A humming had stopped the moment he had opened his mouth to speak, but returned several seconds later. He got up from the bed and let his feet hit the ground. And felt an immense pain as his feet touched the floor, it was as if his feet were hit by a sledgehammer. Reflexively he pulled them back on the bed, the pain had been instantaneous however, it wasn't lasting. His eyes fixed on where he was going to stand on, trying to see what had caused the severe pain but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps the floor was electrified somehow? He tried again, slowly lowering his leg for his feet to gently touch the floor. There wasn't any pain this time, or any particular sensation, it felt like a normal wooden plated floor. But the floor didn't look wooden. As he put both feet on the ground the feeling changed to solid concrete, at least the floor somewhat looked like that.

What the hell is going on?

Randy suddenly felt movement, it was like an instinct yet..different, more like an extra sense. There was no other sound other than the humming nor could he see anything different but he knew there was someone or something that was getting closer, his eyes moved to the door. A few seconds later he heard footsteps getting closer, his eyes moved to the wall on his right, there was someone there right on the other side, moving ahead turning the corner, he was sure of it. But how? It didn't matter, his training had kicked in, he was in a completely unknown situation, had no idea where he was nor did he have anything to defend himself with if something happened, and someone was getting close to the single door. He acted and moved for the door -which looked to be heavy metal one with electronic locks- and pressed himself against the wall. The person was right at the door now, there was a silent click as the door unlocked and slid inside the wall. Randy's breathing slowed and it seemed time had slowed along with his breath as a man entered the room. The man was short yet heavily built, his hair cropped short and showing some white, he wore a white coat which made Randy think that he was a doctor of some sort. The man however wasn't aware of Randy's presence until he looked up at the bed and saw that it wasn't occupied. At that moment Randy felt the man tense, there was no indication of it on his body yet Randy just knew the man felt a stab of fear run through him. The man was turning around, still unaware of Randy presence, just as the man had completed his turn Randy's right hand stabbed out placing his palm on the man's neck quickly followed by a foot extended behind his, and pulled to the side, using his foot to trip the man and completing the turn to slam him into the wall behind them. Randy's forearm was now placed directly on the man's neck.

Who are you?

Randy's thoughts stopped for an instant as the words left his mouth. He knew his arm had been pressing against the man's neck, he felt it but he couldn't actually -see- his own arm. A moment later the air where his arm should have been showed had a mirror like surface over it, which then flashed a bright white then turned black. He had clothes. He noticed the man was looking at him wide-eyed and again felt the tension and fear, as if he was radiating it. Randy was still in a sort of shock by the time the man starting sputtering out some unintelligent speech, Randy noticed his arm wasn't allowing the man to breathe. Randy felt his own tension break -the man wasn't a threat- and let him go.

I-I-I..I hadn't realized you had woken up..s-sir.
I apologize for the intrusion but I was told to check on your status.

He didn't know or understand why, but as soon as the man had started to talk, Randy's first urge was to kill him, every instinct, every muscle, his whole body was screaming at him to break the man's neck right there.

But why?
