The Land and Life of Endless Light

Golden brown eyes shoot wide open, only to shut tight again. The blinding white light of the iridescent bulbs are a surprise.
Where am I?
Trying to sit up, he meets resistance. Squinting open his eyes he notices a brown leather strap across his chest, pinning his arms down.
What is going on? Why am I strapped down?
Turning his head to the side, he realizes he's in a sterile laboratory. Operating tools sit on a small push cart along with a vitals monitor hooked up to his arm. Trying to move his legs, he realizes that they are strapped down too.
Realizing he's stuck, he tries to figure out his surroundings. The only noise is a hum from what's probably an air filter. There are no voices. No footsteps. Nothing. Twisting his head to the side, he sees a video camera blinking a red light.
Someone is watching, someone knows what is happening.
"Hey! Whoever is watching, tell me what's happening! Where am I? What's going on? What is all of this?"
The red light blinking is the only answer he gets.
Trying to shift his body around in the straps, he's completely stuck. No wiggle room and the table he's on is welded to the ground.
Yelling in frustration, he curses at the camera.
"Now, now. Subject 5-A-Z-7-8. Calm down." A female robotic voice fills the room, it makes him jump. There's no speakers visible, but it continues "You are probably upset and confused. But we need you to remain calm. Dr. Wilken will be with you shortly. He is dealing with another patient right now."
"What is happening? I want answers now!"
"Subject 5-A-Z-7-8, I have told you once to calm down. Your heart rate is escalating, if you do not restrain yourself and return your heart rate to normal, I will have to sedate you."
"Tell me! Who are you people? What do you want of me?"
The vitals monitor next to him hums to life and a liquid flow through one of the tubes connected to his arm.
His eye sight instantly seems to go into tunnel vision before completely blacking out.


Slowly opening his eyes he sees a man with a surgical mask looking straight into his eyes.
"Hello Saverio, it's a pleasure to see you again."
Gasping for air, Saverio let's out a, "No...It can't be." As the man with the surgical mask places a breathing tube to Saverio's nose. Feeling the anesthesia take affect, Saverio starts to black out again.
