I woke up in a white room. Or rather, I opened my eyes in a white room: sometimes it's hard to believe to be awake.
The room was perfectly cubic, completely white, devoid of furniture, windows and doors. I was naked, lying on the floor. A strange dream. I got up but the view did not change, that room was absolutely empty.
I thought that, even in a strange dream, but something would have happened. How long can dream of being alone in an empty room where nothing happens?
waited. I do not know what. Then when I invaded the anxiety I threw myself towards a wall and something happened. I heard a voice, and I thought the pain was too intense and the walls too strong to be dreamlike. I had never heard such language, but it was built that image in my head.
seemed to see a silent film, in color, in which, frame by frame, according to the vibration of the strange language that I heard, I was mimed a story. I tried to answer, but instead of emitting sounds through the images I saw what I wanted to communicate. Finally a "trak", as the sound of two wires that power, and a voice, this time in my language: "Welcome to Earth."
This phrase, the only area free of "special effects" of the whole situation terrified me as a sudden whiplash. Sanctioned the division between me and them, between the guinea pig and the makers of the test, presentatomi through images, in which perhaps, as in most classic B-movie, it was decided the future of humanity.
I had to serve them, whoever they were, to decide whether to save the Earth. But, save from what? On what basis? In that game it was and what were its rules?
I did not have time to think, however. Always in my language I was informed that this gave rise to the simulation.
I found myself in a school desk in the last row of a classroom with no other children. A professor spoke of complex chemical interactions. I had never seen their like, but I had the feeling of knowing. The explanation so quickly, I nodded at each step until one of them appeared strangely vague and illogical, in contrast with the crystalline clarity of what has been exposed there.
demanded an explanation. I was told that I should trust, believe what I was told. Objected that this did not make sense, for what purpose a rigorous proof to show me conclude with a leap of faith?
The scene changed, however. I was on a long beach, behind the dunes, in the company of a girl who does not know, but which clearly had to be plenty of privacy, given what was happening. The eye fell on a rock right next to us, partly covered with sand, wiped the palm of a hand appeared and the "commandments" were forbidden to fornicate, to exchange effusions, kissing each other in public places. Then the list goes on but the same palm that had made it appear he held, focusing on the buttocks of beautiful stranger.
abruptly - and with regret, so the feelings were "true" - I found myself in a crowd of people. It was implemented a few emergency and police were driving in a safe, a large group of people. I realized that we had to cross a stream, passing through a narrow bridge that slows the process. Avvicinatomi the shore I saw that the water was very low and therefore that the river could be forded easily. I pointed this out to a guard in exchange for receiving the reply that the orders were to pass through the bridge. I took off my shoes, I pulled the flap of his trousers and undertaken the crossing.
Now I was in my bed. As a vaguely in the distance I heard the echo of the failure of the test, "the human species is not suitable to be saved."
I have not understood something, but I suspect that on balance it is better that way ...
