Chapter 4: Gravity
(TW: Blood, fighting, drugs)
He woke up to a message on his screen,
'Warning: Battery getting low, please charge'.
Computery panicked as if he didn't charge himself, he would be shut down. And he didn't want to be eaten by these maniacs.
He rushed to find a power socket and plugged himself in. It took around 10 hours for him to fully charge, so he decided to have a nap all day. But he didn't trust anyone here, so he just decided to get Tooth to watch over him. He contemplated whether he should do it, as Tooth was one of the maniacs, after all. But it would be better off this way, he trusted Tooth, and Tooth trusted him.
He laid his back against the cold feeling of the wall. Tooth sat next to him and told Computery that he could trust him.
This was good. No one would hurt him anymore. So, he lay there, and slept. He had a good sleep, but then he started questioning the game, as he laid there, all these thoughts swirled in his head. There's no way that he could survive this nightmare of a game. Could it be worth the million? To die? To watch everyone, die? No, he couldn't. He couldn't bear it. So, there he sat, thinking about whether he made the right choice.
It had already been a week, there is still 8 and a half contestants, by half he meant Hourglass. What's the significance of this game? To die? If you try to read into every little detail, trying to find meaning into every little thing, you will drive yourself crazy. Like Computery, like the contestants. They're slowly driving themselves crazy.
He woke up to a loud bang, his eyes shot open, and he was met with a violent punch up, it was between Basket and Spray-paint Bottle. Blood was dripping from both their faces, mostly from Basket, as Spray-paint bottle was punching him.
Computery realised he was staring too long and looked away, cautiously. He didn't want to get punched, not at all. Why would anyone, is his question? If they do that's just straight-up concerning. He looked down at the ground, beside him. There, he saw a small blue pill. He picked it up, cautious on what would happen.
Before he could respond, Basket got thrown next to him into the wall, shoving the pill down Computery's throat. He swallowed it, as he didn't know what to do. That was a mistake, he felt fuzzy, and it tasted tangy. Everything felt wobbly, he laughed at how weird the world was. The world around him felt dizzy.
Gravity didn't seem like a thing. Haha. How weird that was for him. It was all so new, what was this? Gravity.... haha.... what a silly little word. He started to ask himself questions, as no one even glanced at him, what was the point? Nobody ever paid attention to him at this point, not even Tooth. Boy, did he feel unloved and unwanted. Gravity seemed weird to him at this moment, 'Isaac Newton, he discovered gravity. When he looked up at that apple in the tree, but what had happened before all that? Where was gravity before all that? Did people just float around?' These were all sorts of questions he was asking himself, but that was common knowledge. He felt strange, like he was in an undersea world. An undersea world that would swallow him whole. The noise around him started to fade, as a loud ringing noise blasted in his ear. Everything then went black.
------------------------------
Uh-oh! Computery is high!
See if you can spot the song reference!!
the pill is filled with multiple drugs :)
Sneak peak of the next chapter:
He woke up to pitch black, it seems he has lasted through the day. He turned himself on, as he was fully charged. He saw Painting, shaking. He slowly walked up to Painting and tried to comfort her, He wasn't the best at comforting, but he tried, Computery wrapped his arm around her as she slowly calmed down.
SEE YA NEXT SUNDAY!!!!
