Chapter 1

January 14th, 1935

Today has been a long day, after all, everything I have done today has been just walking around these empty halls, sometimes hearing the usual screams from the containers, but nothing out of the ordinary. It seems like it’s raining outside today, but maybe it’s just an illusion, after all, I have never been outside of the facilities.

Sometimes I question why I have never been outside, but the thoughts quickly vanish, maybe I enjoy it here, maybe I don’t, I just know that just like my parents, I have been here for my whole life.

January 15th, 1935

Today I have been instructed to take subject 134 to a new experiment. This experiment is from Dr. Chere, I have heard his name before, but I have never actually seen him in person. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get to meet him, and maybe even be his right wing, but I know I can’t, all I can do currently is to capture the beasts that we have in those containers, which is understandable since they’re dangerous and try to escape often, so most of us are trained to capture them, but sometimes I just wish that I could do something else.

Well, here I am, taking subject 134 to this new experiment from Dr. Chere, like always I didn’t get any information from the experiment, all the information I managed to get was that the experiment is called Stroby.

While taking subject 134 to the experiment I learned so much about her, like her name, I didn’t know that the subjects had names, or maybe they don’t and subject 134 just decided to give herself a name, which is kind of cute when I think about it. While walking with subject 134, or like she calls herself, Sharon, we talked about various topics, like how the skies feel, or if the clouds are made out of cotton candy, whatever that is.

Subject 134 and I have finally reached the experiment room, where this so-called ‘Stroby’ thing is located, this place is different from all the other places in the facilities, it looks cleaner and it’s not as empty.

When I entered there was stuff, but what stuck out was a doctor’s chair, which wasn’t there the last time I was in the experiment room. There’s a table next to the chair, and I see three syringes, all of them with the same color, which is violet.

I decided to stick around and see what’s the experiment about, but they kicked me out so now I can’t see what happened. After a while, I get called to the experiment room again, but this time is to retrieve the corpse of subject 134, she apparently couldn’t survive the experiment.

Today it is raining again, like always. Now that I think about it, I have never seen a day without rain, but I can’t complain, I find it calming, but not everyone thinks like this, some of the others have gone insane because of so much rain, now I do not see them anymore.

I decided to catch up with my comrades today, it’s been a while since I have seen them.

“Hello Clare!” says Herald as I approach him, he’s a nice guy, but he’s an idiot, but I can’t blame him.

We talk for a few minutes until we bump into Epson, our other comrade, he decides to join us in our little conversation. We all talk about me not going on tasks with them anymore, which is weird since I’m supposed to be the group leader. In the end, I’m being assigned to other tasks since I’m a rank lower than them. I mean, we still go on tasks together, but for the ones that require a higher rank, I’m not allowed to go with them.
