The Observing Room
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 35930
|
Human Fred opened his eyes and looked around. He was sitting on a
comfortable chair in a dark room, yet oddly, he could see as though there
was blackened light illuminating it. There was another chair sitting to
the right beside him, and a small table with nothing on it but a single
ceramic cup beside that. He heard the sound of someone eating something
crispy, and turned to see Astra kneeling facing a window of some sort. A
pitcher, a bowl of snacks, and a ceramic cup that looked similar to the
one on the table sat next to her. He ran over to her. "Astra! You're safe! I worried what happened to you when you were captured!" Astra turned to face Fred, "Fred! Good, I figured anyone else who would be captured would wind up here as well. Look! You can see the entire chessboard from here!" Fred sat down, the bowl of snacks in between them. He sampled it. It tasted of very, very salty potatoes. He took the other cup from the table and filled it. "Did you see what Susan did?" he asked Astra. "Yes, very clever to say the least, but is her arm alright?" "It's broken, but she insists on finishing the game before seeking medical attention. Probably wiser that way, who knows what may happen if any one of us tried leaving the board in the middle of the game." They spent some time conversing and watching the game below. Eventually Fred got up and began to wander around the room. He put his
hand to the wall and felt for a door. "Nothing", he murmured. "Searching for a way out! We can't spend the remainder of our lives in this room! There has to be a way out!"
