What is going on

Zach woke up in terrible pain inside of a room dimly lit with red light. As he looked around he realized he was not in his own bed. He was on a sad excuse of a bed made up of metal bars and covers. Then a terrible sound started filling his ears as he sat pondering where he was. After a few long seconds he realized that the sound was an alarm. He took a closer look around  him and found he was in a room with concrete walls and a metal door. Upon further inspection he found the metal door had a window. As he looked through the window he noticed another metal door. He pondered why they would need 2 doors for a long while, Then he realized it was an airlock. After laying down to try to think better, Zach fell asleep. Upon his awakening the alarm was gone and the room was properly lit. Zach got up and began to look around more closely. “What the hell is this place?” Zach thought to himself. That thought was quickly replaced by “Who the hell am I?” Suddenly Zach heard a hissing sound and the door began to move. Out of the airlock stepped someone in a hazmat suit and 2 guards wearing armor. The person in the hazmat suit approached Zach and simply stood in front of him. Suddenly Zach was on the ground and heard flowing water.As he gained his footing he found his arms and face covered in dirt. After looking around for a long while Zach determined he was in a rainforest. His survival instincts kicked in and he immediately started to gather things to try to make a shelter with. After gathering branches and leaves Zach flattened out some ground. After building a “Shelter” Zach promptly fell asleep again. Upon awakening he started to explore his surroundings and search for food. As Zach was walking with his head turned looking for food he ran into something. At first he believed he had run into a tree but after regaining his bearings he realized it was an enormous wall. Zach stared at the wall for a long time trying to estimate its height. His final estimate was 5000 feet or so. But as Zach looked at the wall he saw the number 5487 on it. At first he was amazed how close he had been to its height but then he looked at his arm. On his arm he saw a tattoo reading #5487. Zach began to ponder why the number 5487 was on his arm and the wall. Then it hit him, The wall was built to keep him (#5487) in. Suddenly he also realized he was most likely the 5487’th person that this had happened to. Zach noticed a ladder on the wall and began to climb. Zach climbed for hours struggling to continue. He would constantly have to take 15 minute breaks for his arms to stop feeling like they were about to explode. Finally after hours of climbing he made it to a platform beside the ladder. When Zach got on the platform he looked down and up trying to estimate his elevation. He reached the final estimate of around 1500 feet. Zach fell asleep for the third time in what must have been only 30 hours. When he woke up he realized he was very hungry. But to Zach’s shock laying beside him was a milkshake along with a meal consisting of steak and a salad. He devoured the meal in a mere 15 minutes. As Zach began to look around he saw a door leading into the wall beside the platform.Upon entering the unlocked door he found a room full of buttons, switches, dials, screens, and more. After examining the room thoroughly Zach found a button labeled “help”. Upon pressing the button Zach heard stuff shifting around. As he looked around he saw a hallway that had opened. As he entered he heard a young man's voice saying “Please continue down the corridor and enter the room labeled lounge.” Zach did as he was told and walked until he found the room named lounge. He walked in and saw a man sitting on a couch with no head. At first Zach was very startled but began to calm down. “Sorry I didn't warn you.” The man said. Zach promptly asked “What is this place?” The man responded, “The training facility.” Zach asked “What am I training for?” The man responded,”To become agent number 5487” At that the man disappeared and Zach fell unconscious.When Zach regained his consciousness he determined was on a tower. Upon looking down the tower had to have been over twice the height of the wall. Then he realized that it looked like he was in a HUGE desert after he looked down. While he pondered what he should do he started to think about the size of the desert. He was so high up that he thought he should have been able to see far enough to either extend past the desert or any mountains. As Zach looked across the seemingly infinite desert he nearly slipped off the tower. Thankfully Zach had fast reactions and grabbed the tower before he fell. After pondering what he should do for ages he decided to try to climb down the tower. Zach carefully climbed down. Until he slipped,this is where Zach's story ends.
