Escape Pt.2

I had just narrowly escaped my own house. I thought it was very convenient that there was a motorcycle just waiting out here for me to ride off on but then I realized it wasn't as easy as I had imagined. Just beyond the motorcycle there was a HUGE ramp made out of wooden planks that was so steep I wasn't sure how anyone was suppose to get up it. I looked around for an alternative rout but it was all thick swamp and trees so I decoded to try walking up the ramp with the motorcycle. I was a quarter up when I lost courage due to how close to a 90° angle it seemed this ramp was off the ground. I knew I was going to fall all the way down with the motorcycle when all of a sudden the ramp started moving up as if it were an escalator. I looked at the bottom of the ramp and there was this guy using a pulley system to hoist me up. I yelled "OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" to the guy and he shouted up "no problem!" At the very top of the ramp there was a booth. it looked like an observation booth except with a LOT of complex looking designs of the two computers. I left the motor cycle and went in. The guy from the bottom of the ramp was in there with a buddy and I didn't understand how he got up here if he was helping me get up from the bottom. He welcomed me and introduced me to his experiments. He brought me outside the booth where like three or four people were waiting. they congratulated me for making it up the ramp and told me the ramp was indeed for the motorcycle. I asked "okay but where do you land once you go flying off it?" they said "into the swamp of course! Wanna give it a try?" I was very curious about it but wasn't sure I wanted to after I had just barely gotten up the damn thing. They pressured me into doing it so I decided to. As I was flying down the ramp I was getting increasingly more nervous because of how steep the ramp was, it felt like I was just falling with the bike. I don't know how but I think I stopped the bike just before the bottom. At the bottom the four people were waiting for me with that man who had helped me before. He had a computer station set up with all these wires and sensors. I hadn't said anything when the three out of the the four people were putting these sensors on specific parts of their body. The man said "okay, whenever you're ready get in the water and I'll pull the lever" I asked "what's going to happen?" and he said it was like drugs but better. Naturally I was very interested. I asked if it was safe and he said "I've been working on this for some time now and I think it'll work" so I watched as he pulled the lever. You could see the happy faces of the three people change into expressionless faces in a matter or seconds. I asked of that was suppose to happen. The man said "right now they are tripping so hard I wouldn't expect them to be responsive" but I looked on his computer and they were all flat lining. I told the man I don't think it worked and he cursed and said "I forgot..." Those three people had been electrocuted and I watched them willingly submit to it thinking it was some sort of out of body experience. There was one more person from the group who hadn't been electrocuted and asked if it would work for her. Both of them were completely un-phased by the deaths they just witnessed. The man made a minor adjustment on his computer, put in some new code, then proceeded to hook up the final person. They tried to encourage me to try it with her because he's got it right now and what I would experience would be "like drugs but even better I promise!" I said no because I wasn't convinced that if wouldn't kill me. She was now hooked up and laying in the swamp water ready for him to pull the lever with a huge smile. He pulled the lever and sparks flew unlike last time and I knew she wasn't going to make it. She died. At least she died happy I thought.. but she still died. The man seemed more confused by her death than disappointed or sad. He sighed and said "let's go back up". It was clear now that he had been experimenting with this for a long time because as we entered the booth again I could see the walls were filled with chemical compounds and new formulas and structures of the human cells during their "natural" and "during" states. I watched the man work and he worked HARD. He looked almost like a mad scientist the way he was combining new chemicals then sprinting over to his computer to type in new code for the sensors.. Eventually his buddy came back and informed him there were no others he could experiment on. That they had "run short on subjects". But the man replied "no, we do still have ONE..." looking at me. I said "ooohhh no oh no not me nuh uh!" and both the men tried to convince me they had it right this time and that I would be the first human to have had such an experience and then they explained WHY it would work this time. It made no sense to me but I am merely a 16 year old. I still refused though the thought of the trip they had described seemed amazing. They got angry and began to force me into what looked like a dentists chair. I was fighting them as they stripped all the clothes off of me and attached sensors to my chest. The sensors for some reason were very hot and were making my chest turn a bit red around them. I was scared and I kept asking "are you sure about this?" and "how do you know I won't just get electrocuted?" They smiled and all I saw before the man pulled the lever was the low overhead light above me. I think they had got it right this time because I saw things I had never seen before,colors I had never seen before, I think I was inside my own mind. Certainly not in the real world. It wasn't like LSD where you're still in the real world just distorted, I was in a complete other universe. This lasted for about three minutes before I died.
