Injection
As he looked around, wondering what would happen next, he felt a prick in his arm, as a needle pierced his skin; he could see a metallic extension slowly retracting in the wall, bearing what was used to assault him a moment ago. Perhaps it was a simple blood draw, to see if he was a potential subject, but he had the feeling that this wasn't the case, for there was probably another purpose to this innocuous usage...
He rubbed his arms for a moment, the area still sensitive; it was a shame that he was unable to stop it, for there could be something running in his veins, tainting his blood and various fluids that composed him. He had to find a way to expulse it, before it would be too late, for he wasn't sure what consequences could this mysterious injection could bring upon him, as if it reminded him that he was nothing more than a mere guinea pig, destined for experiments that escaped his grasp.
Grabbing his arm, he decided to go back on his steps, determined on avoiding another fateful encounter; this wasn't the time to have another substance injected into him, for it could have a disastrous effect on him. If only he could find his way to the surface, so he would be able to find a doctor or someone who had a little knowledge of medicine; that was all he needed, at that moment.
This person would be the only one that could help him understand why his arm was burning, why he had the impression that his skin was melting around the injection point; it was perhaps a reaction to the chemical that his body was forced-fed a moment ago. Maybe his immune system was trying to fight off the possible mutagen or pathogen that this serum contained, thus it could explain why it would burn...
But why was it so quick? Wasn't a disease or a chemical supposed to take some time before it would interact with the internal chemistry of the host? But if they modified the structure of the agent that was deep within him, then it could explain why it was happening so fast; but why would they do such a thing? What was the purpose of injecting him with a substance that made him sick in the first place? Couldn't they have used a lab rat or any sort of animal instead, thus saving him from this ordeal?
