The room I’m in is dark, but I can still see the metal contraption in front of me. It looks like a glorified dentists chair.

There’s a harness for what I presume is going to be my head and wrist straps.

I don’t want to step into it but I don’t have a choice.

I have to do this.

I lower myself into the contraption.

The man next to me straps my wrists in and tightens the harness around my head.

I can feel my heart beating out of my chest and my breaths getting shaky.

I look up and see light appear into the dark room. The light gets larger as I am lifted towards it.

The man who strapped me in says “be careful out there”.
