Leo's thin figure lay weakly on the whirring bed machine he slept on. All over his face was a mask and different tubes and wires connecting it to a nearby machine that was in turn connected to a super computer on the other side of the room. The atmosphere was otherworldly.
Yes, Leo has woken up finally after 78 years inside a lab designed by the Luxus beings. He stared with lazy eyes at a strange looking man standing at his bed. He tried to speak, but his voice wouldn't co. His mouth has been idle for the past 78 years, so it hurts when he tried to move it. So, without thinking, he asked the question in his mind.
"Who are you?"
"A-ha, I'm Luxus. Rember?"
No, Leo doesn't rember any man called Luxus. He does not even rember who he was or why he was tied to a bed with wires passing out of his body. His brain was practically clogged.
"No, I don't rember you," he thought again.
This mind communication felt comfortable for Leo though. He thought it was a normal way of passing information, and the fact that the man was responding in the sa manner.
"I see. You are an old man in a young body. I guess dentia has finally hit you," the man said, laughing. Leo could hear the man's laugh in his head but the man's face betrayed that emotion. He wondered if he can laugh too, or maybe cry.
"What is this place? Why am I here?" Leo questioned.
"It's okay boy. Since you've finally woken, you have to be treated on right away. Rest your mind and let the tranquilizer work. You'll know everything once you wake up. Sweet dreams."
The man pressed a button by the chanized bed and a fu rose from there. After 5 seconds, Leo was back in his unconscious state.
In his dream, he was walking a lonely path when suddenly he noticed that soone was following him. He looked behind him and saw a huge man with only a big mouth as his head. The large lips moved fast as the strange monster stalked him. Leo started running down the deserted path. Even though he tried very hard to run very fast, he just couldn't. It was like there was a counter-current slowing down his movent from the front. He ran in slow motion. And yet, the big mouth monster was closing in. Leo began to scream.
The nearer the mouth got, the clearer Leo could hear what it was saying.
Leo ran faster, pushing hard against the resistance but it was all for nothing. He couldn't run away from the mouth. In little ti, the mouth caught up with him. It grabbed Leo with thick arms and lifted him in the air.
