Empty Room

I wake up in an empty room.  Tall windows, sectioned panes, a little dusty and dingy.
I'm in the chair, tied to the chair, tightly.  Rope made of... rope.
I remember how I got here.
"Jason!" I shout.  "Jason are you there?"
"Jimmy?  Roger?"
They seem to have all gone.
I look around.  Nothing but concrete and pillars and the windows I can't quite see out.
No matter, I know what's out there.
I really wish they hadn't tied me to this chair.
I start to rock back and forth.  Maybe this will loosen the rope somehow.
Oops.
Falling.
S.L.O.W.L.Y.
Quickly.
Something solid breaks my fall.
Look behind.
That wooden dresser wasn't there before.
Wooden dresser wooden chair.
Nothing broken.
I try to lean forward enough
to return to solid ground.
Leaning forward,
almost falling,
leaning backward,
just in time.
Back on the solid, concrete earth again.
I turn to look.
It's a tall dresser, big and tall and sturdy, with those big doors that open outwards at the top.
Little drawers that pull out on the bottom.
Thin but long drawers, shallow drawers.  Something must be inside.
I try to twist.
  Twisting doesn't
     seem to work all
         that well for me
My feet do touch the floor so I push off
and hop
hop hop about.
Slowly
   turning
     around
  facing
the dresser.
Leaning forward I can grab one of drawer handles in my teeth.
Know it's dirty;
I don't care.
Pulling slowly... carefully... cautiously...
And inside are my clothes!!
Not the clothes I'm wearing now, but my other clothes.
They can't take that away.
Well, I guess they did, but I found them again!
Now what to do?
"Roger?!  Jimmy?!  Jason??!!"
They wouldn't just leave me.
But apparently they did.
Sigh.
Nothing else in the room.
Not sure what to do now.
Don't want to get a sliver.


I guess I have time to tell you how I got here.

Really, though, I'd rather not.


I kind-of have to pee.
I hope they come back for me soon.
