Who? Miguel (one of them) and Gabe
Where? A ROOM
When? Tuesday night
What? Gabe can't sleep.
Gabe knew he shouldn't be awake but there was an itch all over his skin, a distinctive shock of a feeling that seemed to come from the port on the side of his head. It was disconnected, empty, hollow. He shouldn't be awake, away from home and his work and the things he could be doing. Miguel and Miguel (shock off, there's two of his big brother. Nightmare) had calmed him down from a full on freak out and done what he knew to be a regular thing here - acclimate, explain, guide, then show around.
He was fine. It was fine. He just could'nt sleep.
There was part of him that knew what felt wrong about his body, what made him itch and fall apart. The Cyber. The electric in the air, the conductivity was so shocking different, surging and waxing and moving in ways he could feel. It was happening now as he walked along hallways, dishevelled and exhausted, moving one foot in front of the other just to have something to do to keep his mind off how different he felt.
"Miguel..." he muttered, taking out the cellphone from his pocket, punching buttons (shocking buttons). Gabe had to know if this was normal.
