Chapter 36: Beeps & Boops
A door slid open with a hiss at the side of the room opposite the glass cylinder. I looked to you and you looked to Tuesday.
"What are you looking at me for? Go on in so I can start running these tests," she said.
And so began a near whole hour of me standing then sitting, then lying in an empty, white room. When Tuesday said she had to run some basic tests on me to get the data for my dragon ID card I thought it would be really interesting with a metal helmet with lots of cords coming out of it, or maybe some stick-on sensors or something.
No. It was nothing like that.
It was just waiting around in a white room. What was even more annoying was that I could still hear the two of you talking outside but couldn’t say anything myself. There were so many questions I wanted to ask...
Ring...
Ring...
It was soft, real soft, but I was sure that it was the sound of small bells chiming. I opened my eyes and looked in the direction the ringing was coming from, but of course I saw nothing, just a white wall.
Where was the sound coming from?
There was something both charming and sinister about the sound, both clarifying and terrifying and the longer it went on, the more uneasy I felt.
I stood and went to the door and nudged it with my nose.
