Sounds were the first thing I noticed when I came to myself. I remembered nothing of what happened to me. Curious, I opened my eyes to the dim place. For some reason, the sounds were very foreign. like I was not used to hearing them.
"Hello," someone spoke and I looked in that direction I knew it came from. I blinked, realizing that somehow, this was also foreign, being able to detect the location of the sound. The man in white clothes was sitting down next to me, observing.
I realized that something was off but could not quite place it. It also seemed as though I had more vision. I could see more of the things around mewith one look.
It was very puzzling, not being able to have my memories intact.
"Um... hello..." I said, looking around the room. Everything was made of metal, no plastic, and the sheets made of some very soft fabric, like angora rabbits. The light source came from the window outside. I stared at the things outside--the sky was not blue as it should be.
My memories came back then. I had committed suicide, or at least, I attempted, for here I was, alive.
A surge of anger overcame me. Why was I brought back to life? I wanted to die and be sent into space as my burial ground--or air, or whatever you'd call space for a place to be buried.
I looked back at the man again, ignoring the neon green sky outside, the sun bright green.
"Why was I brought back to life?" I demanded. "I didn't--" I stopped myself, looking at the man more closely.
His skin was not a normal color, it was tinged blue. Like he was dead, but he was clearly alive. His face was missing something. Lips, he had no lips, only a lipless mouth.
"Who are you?" I asked after a long while.
"You mean to ask, what am I?" he said, and smiled. "I am a, what you'd call, green little men, and you are an earthling. Welcome to Nahmarek, the solar system of Andromeda."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise by the news, "What?"
"We found your spaceship floating around our tenth planet, the last one on the edge of this solar system. We attempted to revive you and we succeeded. We also noticed that you were deaf and had bad vision. We fixed those too."
I blinked, realizing that I had never had so much peripheral vision before. That's what was off about my vision! I can see! I can hear!
"Wait... you said Andromeda? Oh my god, they actually sent me into space!" I exclaimed.
The doctor chuckled, "Yes, you're the first one we've found. We've found a few others and we're reviving them as well."
"Huh," I said, looking around again. "Just how long did it take for me to get here?"
"A few million years," he replied, watching me how I reacted.
"A... few million years? Is... how is my... wait, what's the name of my solar sysem? I never learned that...."
"We called it Humanity. And as for the solar system... unfortunately, it seems there was a space war that broke out a few hundred years after you apparently departed Humanity."
"Oh... that's a shame... humans did never stop fighting," I said, frowning at the news.
"Yeah, about that..." the doctor said, looking at the door to the hallway and looked back at me. "There's a reason the government needed you alive. To fight the wars for us. And I'm going to hide you."
