​Awakening

NATALIA PLOS

I felt weakness in my body, and then a crazy cold reached the depths of my bones. With a heaviness, the doors of the cryo chamber opened in front of me. Warm air rushed in and blew on my face, helping me regain my senses. I remembered where I was.

Two men in white robes watched my awakening.

“How many years have passed?” I asked them slowly.

“348 years. It is now 2373.”

“You woke me up. So you have found a cure for my illness?”

“We are sorry. Your account has run out of funds to support your body.”
