You hold the lanyard in your hands, running your fingers over the embossed "Brackenspire Institute of Thaumaturgy and Technology" text on the top- It still looks like it did on the day you escaped.
Come to think of it, your escape was pretty strange- The cameras were all broken, like somebody smashed them the night before, and you swear you heard doors unlocking infront of your path as you progressed. The guard were almost all absent; the only one you even saw was Summer- gagging as she bled out from a slit throat. A few bags of canned and survival tools were left opened outside your containment cell, seemingly left for you by somebody. It wasn't long until you managed to escape with all the conveniently disabled security systems- but even then, it still felt you were being watched.
Your first few days on the outside were a blur- shambling through the streets, fighting with hobos over leftovers in the trash, desperately trying to mask the stench of decay emanating from your very essence. The first lucky break you ever got is when a nightclub hired you as bouncer- not a well paid job, but still a job nonetheless. Eventually- you managed to scrape enough money to buy a dirt cheap studio apartment to live in.
Life continued on for a time- 3 months at most, until the envelope arrived- photos of Spice's (the person you were '"revived" from) violent demise- the experiment logs from the day you came to life, and a photo of you in the coat you stole the day you escaped. The moment you saw it, you knew that [HE] had found you again.
You stick your hand in the shower again- it's boiling hot, just the way you like it.
You take off your sweater, put the lanyard on the sink, and step inside
As [HIS] blood washes off your membrane, you think back to him, the look in his eyes, and try to envision how a person could possibly end up as twisted as he did
What Species was he?
How did his breath smell as he pinned you to the wall?
Which part of his outfit was taken from Spice's (your) corpse
And what did he say when he finally caught you again?
