Whumpay 24 Day 3: Made Into A Lab Rat
It had been three days since Whumper had started his experiments. In hindsight, it was not a lot. Just the start of a grueling few months. But that did not make it any less agonizing.
Whumpee let out a scream as yet another convulsion rocked through them. Their nerves alighted, constricting painfully, twisting their body into uncontrollable angles. Bones bending and ligaments popping. Whumper sat across from them, cross-legged, expression unreadable behind his red glasses. As the wave passed, and they came down from the shock, he scribbled something onto the notebook in his lap.
Heavy breaths filled the room, only accompanied by the scratch of his pen. They closed their eyes and tried to calm their racing heart. The thud of his boots brought them back from their respite.
“Go on, try to melt them.” He referred to the chains around their wrists, but they would not do as he asked.
They spit in his face, watching with satisfaction at his disgusted look. “Rupūžė…” He wiped it away angrily. “Fine.” He said, annoyed. “I can do it manually.”
He grabbed their right hand, palm up, while shoving the chain further down their arm. The ever present scalpel flipped out from his jacket, and he unclasped a pin from one of the three side appendages.
They tried to pull out of his grasp, but his hold was too tight. They then tried bringing their joined hands to their mouth, but he tugged them hard off kilter.
“Ah, ah, ah. You’re not biting me again.”
Still holding their hand in a tight grip, he brought the pin to the tendon in their wrist, poking a precise point on the muscle. Reflexively her hand twitched and sparks flew from her palm.
“You shouldn’t be able to do that.” He dropped their hand carelessly, turning back to consult his notebook. “Well… Gal, jeigu keisiu…”
All they could do is sit there in the chains while he made a new batch of the red liquid. He carefully measured the various chemicals, writing in his notes again at each addition and mumbling to himself throughout.
Half an hour later— it could be longer, their track of time was getting worse with the way the drug muddled with their mind— he approached them with a syringe once again. The notebook was out, the only words they could read were ‘Trial 19’.
The needle pressed into their vein and Whumpee prepared themselves for the next round.
