Why I Don t Have More Than Another Day Or Two Left
I know I donââ¬â¢t have more than another day or two left. I keep telling myself this. Itââ¬â¢s the truth. I have no strength to do anything. I lost the strength to manipulate the simplest of things what must have been last week. My head is throbbing and itââ¬â¢s hard to remember much. Octavius had stopped experimenting with me, which was the only good thing to happen to me. But I got to watch him, when I could manage to stay awake. He was very happy about something, this experiment he is doing. He tells me about, I remember he would tell me about it but... I donââ¬â¢t remember what he says. My hands are killing me along with everything else. I havenââ¬â¢t been let out of the restraints since they were put on. Octavius still electrocutes me for theâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦What else is here then? I pause before answering that. Have I seriously started talking to myself? Yes, answer the original question. ââ¬Å"This is ridiculous.â⬠I grumble. Um, computers. So what can computers do? Everything. Ok thenâ⬠¦ I could crash all the computers in hereâ⬠¦ that would do anything. Maybe I could send a signal? I donââ¬â¢t know how though.

Iââ¬â¢m going crazy, and then I am going to die! ââ¬Å"What do you?â⬠I ask. I donââ¬â¢t mumble this time and my voice sound dark, and raspy. ââ¬Å"Oh, donââ¬â¢t be so negative. Iââ¬â¢m letting you out of this cage. Should you be thanking me?â⬠ââ¬Å"Oh, my hero.â⬠I groan. I feel the chains come off my hands. Dragon Lords! Ouch! And another one comes off my foot. Dragon Lords! Thank you! ââ¬Å"Why are you doing this?â⬠I ask as realization hits me too late. ââ¬Å"If you want to live you will not ask so many questions.â⬠Octavius says walking away, ââ¬Å"youââ¬â¢ll find out soon enough.â⬠He left me with nothing to restrict me.
