A brewing storm

a loud yawn resounded through the white cushioned room...

against a wall knelt a young man, chained there with a straitjacket on his body facing the exit door which right above had a tv

but this tv was not connected to the outside world's cable, instead, all it played all day were clips that were meant to reform one's mind...in other words attempts at brainwashing someone

but he was clearly bored, his gaze seemed lifeless as he chewed on his tongue, with his guard on all he could get were some light squishes though

"damn it...so boring " the male then adverted his gaze, looking at his shadow he seemed to wake up a little "hey, you said something was gonna happen, right? why is it taking so long!?"

but of course, no one answered, the guard that was watching him through the camera that was hidden in his tv monitor straightened up his posture getting ready for a show while smiling "that boy goes at it again fuhuhuhu"

the male within the cell could be seen grimacing after a few seconds, he then rolled his eyes "well you said a storm was brewing so that mean's there's gotta be trouble right?..."

after a few seconds, his eyes widened slightly "aah! I see. well, guess I'll wait a bit longer then. "

his movements being restricted by the shackles that held him in place didn't offer much space to move around the room, and even if he could move around there was not much to do in there in the first place, so he could only cross his legs as he plopped down onto the ground. looking up at the screen he seemed to be interested in it for a moment, but only for a brief one

"ugh...being here for what...uh four? wait no five years reeeeaaally isn't good for me huh? at this rate I might truthfully become insane from watching the same fifty or so videos over and over again" complained in a low tone he could only sigh in exasperation

"and all those drugs they give me indeed are taking a toll on me and my mind." with a dissatisfied expression he laid down in his quilted room, well against the wall that was

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

he couldn't lie down fully since they thought that giving him shackles too long was dangerous

"hey hey..." he slowly turned to look at his shadow "you know more about what's going on right ? tell me more! I'm bored...oh and." putting on a mischievous expression he muttered in a low tone "what are we having for dinner while you're at it?"

he then stopped for a moment and seemed focused again

"oh uh, something big happened 23 years ago?" he then furrowed his eyebrows seemingly confused

"nononono! my birthday was 19 years ago you're wrong...how could you get my birthday wrong- I thought we were friends" he pouted and looked away briefly "but yeah...I do remember there being news about a star or something of the sort exploding on that day. it was thanks to that that they discovered the so-called star power and began making all those cool guns rightie?" he then looked back at his shadow expectingly

a proud laughter echoed throughout the room "well of course I studied well when I was in school, how would I pass so flawlessly otherwise ?" he then smiled sheepishly and squinted his eyes into small crescents "so you're saying....that what happened 19 years ago is gonna repeat itself and cause disasters? doesn't that mean that I'm in danger?" his expression then froze and became a bit panicky, the voice was never wrong, and if it said that he was gonna die then he surely would, or at least he believed that much

"oh right...guess being underground has its perks sometimes" he sighed, relieved he then asked "so I'll reap many benefits if I follow your instructions on that day? that certainly sounds intriguing but I cannot be bothered currently "

rolling over....well tilting his body to be accurate he looked up to the ceiling, this white ceiling he stared at for god knew how many days to this day "oh...and about the food?"

"HUH!?!? bean paste!? again!? th-that's it...I'm going on a riot!" with the help of his athletic legs he easily prompted his body up and began pushing his body forward, the straitjacket and shackles pulling his body back every time

staring up at the camera's exact placement, which he knew thanks to the quote-on-quote shadow's explanation, he began barking "HEY! YOU! LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

the guard that had been watching from the beginning jolted in his seat, breaking into a smile showing all his 29 raggedy teeth "yes, I win the bet!" taking out his communicator he quickly turned it on " he guessed correctly AGAIN about the beans bahahaha! I'm expecting that pizza to arrive within the next hour, those things are better eaten hot get it?" he then suddenly disconnected to the connection, it was a private channel anyway so it wouldn't interfere with his work

back in the room...."I refuse! simply! absolutely! I will NOT eat those! that's it. I'm going on a strike!"

"hm? wait what do you mean that's not the right word? geez you're such a nerd!" he, with an annoyed facial expression glanced at his shadow "that's not what I'm trying to communicate!"

"huh?"

"wha!?"

"wah-"with a defeated expression he did not dare even try to argue back

"fine fine fine, I'm.... I'll be fasting. there said it- are you happy?" he stared daggers at it for a moment before relaxing his body, he then dropped back into the ground

"whatevs...I'm sleepy- wake me up when that big event happens ooooookay?" with a drowsy smile he snuggled in his corner before closing his eyes
