Friends...?
I slowly regained my footing. I heard people talking. Wait...people?! There's people left in this world? I could barely hear them...
"Are you sure he's gonna help us, Twink?"
"Man, I told you to stop calling me that, man! And yes, I think he'll help us."
The first voice was smooth, and sounded like an average guy. Sounded like an American guy. The second voice was the voice I heard earlier, when I just woke up. It sounded more high-pitched than the American guy. And with slang. An African-American slang.
A third voice spoke.
"Would the two of you be quiet? He's waking up, you know."
It was a...somewhat wise voice. A deep voice.
I stood up. My vision was still blurry. In front of me stood 3 men. A tall slender white man, a middle-height brownish teenager, and another well-dressed white man.
The well-dressed man came up towards me. He wore what seemed like a doctor's jacket over his green buttoned shirt inside. He wore black-rimmed spectacles. A smart looking guy. He was middle-aged, seems like he aged more than 40. He spoke to me.
"Hi. How are you feeling?"
"Not good. Still a little dizzy. Wait, why am I even telling you that? Who are you? Who are all of you?"
"Oh, right! Heheh. Forgot to introduce ourselves. My name is Johann Schmidt. Pleased to meet you."
Johann looked at the other 2 guys who were standing there.
"Well? Aren't you guys gonna introduce yourselves?"
The tall slender man took a step forward and spoke.
"My name is Jim. Jim Sawyer."
The teenager then stepped forward as well.
"Hey there. I'm William. William T. H."
Jim butted in.
"We call him Twink. You know, 'cause he's kinda...short on height?"
"Hey! Jim! I told you to stop calling me that! Man, that makes me feel...short."
"Whaaaat? It makes us sound closer..."
At that time, things just became a little too much for me. I had to make things clear.
"Whoa, whoa whoa...wait a little here...Who ARE you people? What are you doing here? And where is 'here' exactly?"
Johann spoke again.
"Well, you see-"
Before he could finish, a sharp pain resounded within me.
"Aaaaargghhhh!!! What...is this? This pain! Aaaaahh!!!"
I cried out in pain. This pain...all of a sudden it just hit me. It felt like something was burning within me. And it hurt the most at...my heart! I clenched my heart in agony.
"Uuuurrghhh!!! This PAIN!!! You're...a doc, right?! Help me! Something...something's burning within me! Within my heart!!!"
Right after I said those words, I collapsed in pain. The pain...was unbearable. The burning sensation...For the 3rd time straight, I passed out.
