A grunt escaped Scott's lips as eyes fluttered open. "What?" His voice was raspy, raw, and it came out barely audible. His face was one of pure confusion as his eyes darted around the room. "What?" The young man repeated, rubbing his eyes. He opened them again, taking in his surroundings. The walls were an awful brown, paint seeming to be faded in some spots. There was nothing on them, but there was a single window. It was dark, the only light source was lamp in the corner. He noted the mini fridge in the opposite corner, a decks of cards in another, and a dictionary in yet another. None of those things really caught his attention. There were a bunch of strangers in the room who all seemed to be in the same position as him.
"What the hell?" Scott's voice was stronger than is was before, laced with confusion. He hadn't the slightest idea where he was or who these people could possibly be. He didn't know what was going on and it terrified him; it also angered him. He stood up slowly, his back sliding up against the wall. His eyes scanned the room, looking for an exit. "There's no door?" The young man said, growing irritated. "Are you serious? There's no door!" Scott's voice rose as he turned to the wall, banging a fist against it. That's when he noticed the bracelet. "What is this?" He mumbled, fumbling with it, turning it around to find 072886 GUEST SCOTT C. printed on it. He let his throbbing hand fall to his side, truly confused.
Last thing Scott remembered was being at home. His mother was working another late shift and he was tucking his younger brother into bed. Suddenly worry consumed the young man. Where was his brother? Was he okay? Matthew was practically Scott's whole life the past few years and he couldn't live with himself if something happened to him. The young man slid to the floor, letting his head hang low with a hand tangled in his hair.
