STORY STARTER

Submitted by RRR

Two people find themselves in an empty room, but do not know where they are. This is completely normal.

Find a creative way to explain this setting and context. You do not have to set this story in the world we know.

Steel is You

Again.


Why? Why am I here?


Again.


Before my eyes—is you.


You always appear when I am here, confined within there walls whose make bears no resemblance to steel, yet steel is all I feel.


It makes my body shiver, my teeth and ears ring. My mind locks at the sight. I huddle within myself as if I am cold inside this room, though the temperature feels just right.


I know the source of this steel.


This steel is you.


Because although I am clueless to where I am at this moment—and perhaps throughout the entirety of my surviving existence—I know you.


But why do you appear?


I am constantly seeing you here.


We have been here for so many times.


Shouldn't this be over?


Why are we here?


You appear and do nothing. I see you and do nothing. We accomplish nil in this room.


So why do we keep appearing here?


Should I ask you, the only other I know?


But you will not reply—you never reply, and you only ask.


Questions, questions, questions.


I'm sick and tired of questions.


What I want is an answer. All I want is an answer.


Why must we remain trapped in here?


Steel, you are my only companion.


Can you answer me, just this once before we repeat this again?
