The gas for pity's sake! Can he not smell it? It fills my lungs!
It has a distinct scent, like fresh rain on dry paving stones. Or like coins. I dunno, sort of metallic and earthy, but somehow acrid. It pluthers out of the hole.
I've tried knocking on all the walls, and I've checked the bed, the table, chairs and the bookshelf for anything which might help. It all seems entirely mundane, no secret entrances, no trapdoors, windows or handles to pull. I'm just stuck here.
Regarding the dream, I do dream of the monster with the black rubber skin. But I'm not stuck to the floor, I am in bed, the monster looms over me and stuff my head into a bag, I cannot breathe. It makes me sick to think of it.
Pass this message back to H, please:
H. Thankyou, it is good to know that I do not worry alone.
I hear the same monster haunts our dreams, perhaps we can conquer both this place and the monster together.
Q
I passed it along. Where is the hole located? Is it the hole that the food comes out of? Or somewhere else in the room? If it's not coming out of the food hole, is there a hissing noise coming from it?
ReplyDeleteIt is the hole the food came out of. Bread, cheese, some ham and a pickle, plus some orange squash.
ReplyDeleteThe hole does hiss a bit, I assumed it was the gas. I tried looking up, but its very dark.
Thankyou Erca.
I got a knock from H earlier, I sent a knock back.
By the way, I apologise for leaving the reply so long. Scouring the room for clues left me exhausted.
Q, I have a few questions..
ReplyDeleteDid you try plugging the hole?
Can you describe yourself?
Wow.. I completely missed that comment. I had him knock because I wanted to make sure you were alright.
ReplyDeleteOk, yes, describe myself, good idea. Short blonde hair, I can just pinch enough to bring it down to eyeline and judge the colour, Quite petite I think, although telling height is difficult with nothing to compare against. No particularly distinguishing features, just a normal girl.
ReplyDeleteHas H blocked his chute? How will he eat?!
I'm sorry guys, I don't think it will be long before the lights go out, I'm getting pretty tired. I will check in tomorrow morning so you know I'm ok.
I think you and H may be married. Your dream may not be a dream.. It's probably a memory. The house is where you live and the rubber man is the man who took you.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, he did block his chute. He seemed to panic, and wanted to cover it as soon as he could. He thinks it might help him get his memory back. We'll have to see in the morning.
"I am Male,
ReplyDeleteI am about 6ft 2" ish.
I am probably British - as you've said, sleep pattern seems to match up to GMT, I seem (as seen above) to think in feet and inches and when I tried to shout next door to Q it came out in a sort of British accent.
Fairly scrawny build.
Thats all I can tell."
Am ok. More gas. So tired. Talk later.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Good to hear from you.
