Chapter 5

You raise your head upwards. Drool hangs from your mouth.

"Fuck you."

The face in front of you smiles. It is shrinking away. It is shrinking and smiling.

It disappears.

You are left in the dark again. You feel exhausted; your whole body aches. It suddenly occurs to you how cold and afraid you are. You are trapped inside a small pod and you are in pain and disoriented.

You wait for an hour in the dark, crying.

Thoughts pass throught your brain in a disorganised mass. A mesh of emotion and reason is clogging up your mind. And then...

You hear a noise that sounds like the rumbling of an electric storm and a word appears, in 30 foot high red letters in front of you. The word is:

INSOLENCE

You hear a click. The front of the pod falls away and you crumple out on to the floor. The water drains away into small perforations which you feel beneath you.

You can hear your heart beating. The word burns in front of you.

You see a door.

Do you:

(a) Cry for help
(b) Crawl toward the door
(c) Smash your leg downwards to destroy the snake
(d) Try and talk to the snake on your leg
(e) Masturbate
