Abandon all hope, ye who enter here

{{ It really is like being stuck in Hell, in the classic and literal sense (or is that virtual {or figurative}? I get those confused...) }}

 

{{ I woke up again, from one of my long bouts of unconsciousness. My head was shaved, I feel a port of some kind that has been built into the top of my skull. I also see one on my left pectoral and feel a third at the base of my spine. They all feel the same, so I am assuming they are look and function the same. One with access to my spine, one for my heart and one for my brain. }}

 

{{ I feel particularly weak and I am going to guess this is because I have been kept unconscious for a number of days to allow the surgery for these devices to have healed enough that I can't just poke at them to get my body to start rejecting the foreign bodies. There is a numbness around the ports that probably means there has been nerve damage when they were inserted. I have tried to pry at them, but they are not simply small metal plates sewn to the skin, they seem to be connected to my skeletal system. I haven't dared to try moving them with my TK, as I don't know how deeply they are truly connected and I don't want to risk paralysis, seizure or cardiac arrest. }}

 

{{ I don't think Dante truly knew Hell back in the 14th Century on Earth, but who could have imagined how the universe has changed in 10 centuries, so I guess I shouldn't dismiss his misery out of hand. Clearly, I have become an experiment for Charlie Thasus. My best hope is that he is trying to understand our TK and see where it comes from, in the body. Worst case is that he is going to pull my essence from these entry points and I will die a shriveled husk, forgotten, truly a lost soul. I'm going to bet it's somewhere in between, but I've always been a terrible gambler. What I do know is that the first opportunity I get to see a way out or a person coming to sustain/maintain me, I will lash out with everything I have - and hope that these experiments have not weakened my TK potential. Then again, what if Charlie is using me as a test to see if he can add to my abilities - and will it kill me in the process. There's a Contrapasso if I ever saw one, forced to suffer my TK as a punishment for having the ability in the first place. }}
