Elaine didn’t know how long it’d been.

It could have been a day. Maybe just hours. No one came in to check on her. She’d looked briefly around the room when she was first locked up, but hadn’t searched it. It seemed like some old office.

Currently, she sat next to the door, knees drawn up to her chest.

It wasn’t until footsteps echoed from the outside that she sat up and turned to the door. The steps approached. Closer and closer.

Then faded.

Whoever it was passed by the door.

Elaine stood up and placed her hand on the door. It wasn’t until that moment she realized she hadn’t taken her medication. One every day. She was supposed to take it. As far as she knew it was the only thing keeping her alive.

Even if these very labs were what it was created in.

It didn’t matter where it came from when the other choice was death. She cast a glance around the room again, nothing immediately stood out as of interest, and banged on the door. Perhaps the person who walked by was still near.

“Hey!” she yelled. “I need help!”

Silence greeted her from the other side.

She pounded once more against the door. “I need my medication! I won’t last without it!”

Again, nothing. Perhaps they thought she was lying to try and escape. If only. Elaine slammed her fist against the door again. Her knuckles cracked and she jerked back with a hiss of pain.

Elaine shook out her hand and stepped away from the door. No one was coming. She swallowed back the pain in her hand and turned to the office. The room was ordinary yet neatly kept.

A desk sat center, with twin chairs before it and a larger one behind. On one side was a bookcase that sat flushed against the wall, the other held a map of the surrounding area and various pictures.

Elaine walked up to the desk first, pressing her hand against the surface, then moving around behind it. There was dust along the wood.
