Four years ago it seemed to me was just another boy looking to pay my way through college and make a decent living and retire in comfort. I wasnt from a rich family and had to pay my own way doing any odd jobs to make extra money So when i answered an advertisement in the paper for volunteers on a government project it seemed like  the only way i could make the money .

After several medical and physical trials at the local hospital they gave me the all clear and began telling me details of the project that i would subject to. They was doing tests on cryogenic suspension a very dodgy way of saying freezing  and re thawing living beings. They were going to freeze me and reanimate my body like nothing happened and if i said anything that would risk the project to anyone else i would not receive my payment.

When the day came for the test i was just sitting in the waiting room my mind running wild with possibilities and consequences. ' What if i dont wake up?' 'Why couldnt i tell anyone about it?. The thoughts faded when an older man in a white jacket and green scrubs called me by name. As i follow him down the dimly lit hallway i ask myself if it was too late to back out and forget this whole thing. when i reminded myself why i was doing it. I wanted a better life for myself and if i wanted it i would have to take risks.

The doctor stops at a door labeled Clean Room. He pulls out a set of keys and inserts it into the lock. I hear a low buzzing sound and my doctor slowly opened the door and walked in motioning me to join him inside was a cylindrical shaped roof with some kind of sprinkler system.

He stops halfway to another door and instructs me to stay still. When i open my mouth to ask why a mist of white fog enveloped the chamber. I stand still as another buzzing noise rang out and the doctor continued to the other door and gently push it open. There i saw many doctors and nurses along with men in three piece suits that looked like the guys of some personal bodyguard. We stop when we reach the machine all this fuss was about.

I wasnt really impressed it looked like an enclosed shower booth. He opens the hatch and a few doctors help me undress and had me lay down on a cold steel table. Looking up at the ceiling at the blinding light a figure appears and eclipses momentarily the white light.

I hear a clanging noise like silverware being dropped. i look over my shoulder to see a strange metal object that when the nurse opened it up it glowed a strange blue haze. The doctor forces my head towards him and places a mask over my head. He tells me to count backwards from ten and i do my best to count i got to six and completely passed out.
