Luke woke up from his deep slumber in a vertical operating table. His arms and legs are strapped into the table. And of course, the suit that took over his body from the neck down is still present, still sticky and clinging tightly into his body. Luke is still a little bit hazy from last night, and his eyes are a little bit heavy.
A few minutes passed, and he woke up fully, seeing himself strapped in an operating table.
A single bright light shining from above him.
"Where... where am I? He... hello?"
Luke asked, as he struggled to free himself from the straps.
"You won't be able to free yourself from that. That's a state of the art laboratory strap, no one gets away from that until I say so." A man in a labcoat emerged from the surrounding darkness.
"Hi. I'm Mr. Burgundy. I see you found our little device. I'm really glad. How was the initial experience?" The man introduced himself in front of Luke.
"What did you do to me? What is this thing in my body?" The 18 year old asked.
"Well, Luke, this is an experiment we're conducting. You don't have to know the specifics, but we're basically experimenting on living latex."
"Unfortunately for you, you stumbled upon one of the several devices we scattered around the city."
Luke started breathing heavily after hearing this.
"What are you gonna do to me? Suffocate me with this weirdo latex? Kill me?" Luke asked.
"Oh no, killing our test subjects aren't part of our processes. What we do here is change your life forever."
This made Luke panic even more, and he tries to struggle from his restraints but to no avail.
"Please... let me go... I want to go home..." He pleaded the man.
"You don't have home to go back to, Luke. We already did the necessary protocols and we got rid of your identity. You died in a road accident and your 'body' have been buried by your family. News from the family suggests that they already moved houses to across the country to escape the grief brought by your supposed death."
Luke teared up, even if he escaped this facility, he won't have any place to go back to. He accepted his fate, thanks to his curiosity, he ruined his life and future.
"But do not despair Luke. Your transformation is not complete yet. And that's why we're here. I'm going to give you a choice. You can choose your destiny."
