It was hard to see through the goggles but it got easier to see as we approached the volcano of blue light. We approached the edge. I was about to ask what we were doing here when they tossed me in.
The ductopi led me across a catwalk above the center of the floor and I saw the source of the blue glow. There was a large hole in the floor with an intense volcano of blue light flowing out of it. I tried to ask, “what’s that?” but with a gag on it came out more, “Mmphf, pmphf.”
When I came to, it took me a while to adjust to the conditions. For one thing, it was freezing everywhere. The metal slab I was sitting on was cold as ice and the air around me was even colder. The light was dim, but it was bright compared to what I had experienced inside the burlap sack and it took my eyes a while to adjust.
When I came to, a couple of hours later, I was in a dimly lit cave with two hulking shadows standing above me. Then all of a sudden, like you see in cheesy alien movies, the lights came on really really bright, as if they were about to examine me. The two hulking beasts were. . .
ducks?
