Chapter 0 - You Wake Up, Whomever You Are.

Cold. 

It's been there. You couldn't tell. It was so cold, you couldn't tell. The entire time, the Cold has been there. It's held you in place. It's kept you slow. It's stopped your mind, your heart, your lungs. It's kept you so perfectly still.

But not anymore.

You breathe.

Pain.

You scream, but hear nothing.

Flashes, in the darkness; faces of people you met, maybe some, you knew. You remember the faces; faces but not the sounds or names. Scared faces, angry faces, yelling faces, and sad faces. Sad. Who was sad? The face stands out, but it's blurred and fogged by the cold. But it's beautiful, perfect. But you can't see it. You can't remember it. You know if you could, you'd remember.

You roar, and hear everything.

The hiss of air, and the bubble of water whisper into your ears. The soft pop, crack, and snap of ice echoes from around your body. There's a low moan and you realize it's coming from your own mouth, which feels heavy and sticky, like your eyelids.

You open your eyes, and see red and darkness.

What little light there is feels blinding, and you close your eyes again, and take in another shuddering breath. The Cold isn't strong enough to hold your body still anymore, you shiver and feel rattled. You're naked. You realize as some ice slides down a shivering pectoral and against a firming nipple.

"FUCK." You swear and your voice is raspy. You wrap your arms around yourself to try and warm up. They brush against something cold, so you open your eyes again. The red lights are still bright against the dark, but you can see now that you're inside of something. A curved glass wall is just in front of you.

Beyond is a room, and you see something made of metal and glass. It's large enough to be a coffin; but the panel opens up, instead of to the side. You imagine it's the same sort of thing you're inside right now.

You place your hands on the glass, but it doesn't move. Your head rings as you feel the memories press at you again, the flashing faces and something else.

What do you do? 
Remain in the pod? Try and force the hatch? Scream out? Blow the flu-? Wait, wrong game....
