episode 2

"It's been months since I joined but I am still not aware of the research. Though

I heard some rumors saying that it's related to ancient times. After hearing

that I was quite confused, about what technology had to do with ancient times.

But I immediately dismissed the thought because my job was only related to

computers and I never cared about anything unless it was regarding computers.

It has always been like this, that's how much I love my computers and

technology."

    "On a nice sunny day, everything was, as usual, I got up

early did my routine had my breakfast, and then went to the company, the

unusual thing was a sudden change in weather. It suddenly became very cloudy

outside, everyone panicked and started watching the news on their phones. Only

to find the sudden occurrence of tornado along with the warning of reaching

home as soon as possible and stay there until the tornado calms down. After

listening to the news everyone decided to knock off work as early as possible. As

time passed by, the company started emptying. I don't know what came into my

head that I decided to knock off after completing my work. My phone kept

buzzing while I work. Maybe my parents were worried. The moment I finished my

work I started looking through my phone only to find 50 missed calls and 10

messages from my family. I dialed my home telephone number thinking about how will I

be doomed the moment I go in front of them for not picking up their calls in

such a situation. I could hear the ring in my phone and at the same time my

heart beating fast in fear. But the call didn't get through, I tried again and

again and again only to get the same result, then I started analyzing my

surroundings only to see me alone in the whole company. It was raining

heavily along with bolts of lightning outside the company building, the view

was terrifying. The insides were no better, every electronic item

started blinking vigorously. Cold sweat, wetting my clothes, forehead, and

neck, with the sudden terrific sound of lightning my surroundings fell in

complete darkness, leaving me in a state of panic, my face turned pale and I

started shivering in fear. I panicked and began to search for my phone

clumsily. But I couldn't, it was too dark to see anything. I stood still in one

place so that I wouldn't fall. I was still shivering, in the hope that could

see some light, I looked here and there. I saw dim light shining from my right

side, I unconsciously moved towards the light. With every step, I felt the

light brightening and I kept walking ahead until I reach the room. I was

shocked to see where I was standing. It was a restricted area for newbies, the

research room where only old employees were allowed. The site was dazzling, everywhere

I could see colorful bright lights emitted by various electronic devices. There

were tons of machines from which I only knew about a few, I couldn't believe my

eyes this place was like heaven for a technology geek like me. Suddenly my eyes

fell onto a machine which was the brightest one, it looked like some kind of

portal. After seeing that machine, curiosity grew deeper and deeper and I went

close to see what it is. The moment I reached close to it, it started sucking

me into the portal. Everything was happening in front of me but still, I wasn't

able to do anything I saw bright light engulfing me. What will happen now?

That's what was all over my mind.
