I awoke to total darkness.

My hands felt a million miles away. As I thought of them, they felt like they were floating uh . . upward. I had no control over them. I tried to open and close my hands, but nothing happened.

Come to think of it, nothing happened when I tried to open my eyes.

Panic flooded through me when I realized that I wasn’t breathing, and I couldn’t feel or “hear” my pulse.

I tried to yell, but nothing happened. I tried to thrash around . . but there was only silence.

I must have passed out, but I awoke again, with no gauge of how much time had passed by. I thought I heard some strange sound, but couldn’t quite place it. I suddenly remembered the experiment that my brother was telling me about a while back. Something with cats brain’s in jars.

I was terrified, and knew that he had done this to me. I just knew it.

It could have been minutes or weeks that passed, but I finally heard: “18-09-2008 Pete, if you can hear this, use your OCZMSNIA commands. I’m working on more inputs for you.”
