《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》Revival Factory (Ch.19)

He spent hours by thinking how he could get the key which he had no clue what it even looked like. Boone had ability of doing something there, going anywhere with the mop in his hand.

Making things tough for him, he reached to deeper places of the factory. He soon was in the passage where everyone walked with their masks on. None of those masks looked pleasant.

They looked like something ploughed straight out of nightmare. Disfigured and disproportionate facial features which could scare a child or a grown man feel uncomfortable.

He saw some of those people, walking and stretching their bodies.

"Longest stretch ever!" one's muffled voice said.

"I'll go and sleep till dinner." Another said.

Boone found a point right there. He followed him quietly. And this time he was pretty good at it.

Old Ghost had taught him well how not to sneak at someone. He reckoned the man he was following was a low level worker because he went inside the dormitory, took off his mask and threw himself on his bed.

Once he covered his face with the blanket, Boone stole the mask.

"Don’t worry. This mask will be back here till dinner." He whispered while he walked out of the room.

He reached inside the Revival Room by following other masked men.

On the corner of the giant room there was a huge machine which was inhaling letters. Machine looked very much like a burner due to steam coming out of it. On the other hand, it also appeared similar to first generation computers.

His thoughts ended when he sighted Crowman in there with the operator. When Crowman moved aside, he saw a key hanging on the wall.

Is this it? Boone was not sure but because they key was near Crowman at the time when he had seen it, he convinced himself it was key to his room.

By escaping everyone's sharp eyes, Boone stuffed it inside his pocket and when people got busy, he got out from there. Boone went on to put the mask back in the dormitory from there. Then he went for Crowman's door.

He heard Red Demise's door opening.

Shit! Boone got terrified as it opened and Red Demise came out from there.

Boone was hiding behind the open flap of door for few seconds. He lied down on floor when Red Demise locked it. The only reason Red Demise was unable to see him was because he was in Red Demise's blind spot. Red Demise did turn his head around because of his heavy beak.

Unlike birds, his eyes were in front of his head. Not on sides. So he always had avoided to turn his head in every matter. The heavy beak was enough to imbalance him.

Red Demise took out his feather, caressed it on door and it locked.

Then Red Demise went away. Boone put the key inside the sculpture's mouth and turned it when Red Demise was gone. But the door did not unlock. It did not even feel like key had been inserted inside the lock.

It was when he realized he required Crowman's feather to unlock his room.

Old Ghost was showering in the bathroom while he cussed and whined about his stressful day even thought there was nobody to hear him.

He had soap all over his head. Few drops even seeped inside his eyelids which irritated his eyes. He was cursing even more when he splashed handful of water on his face.

After a while, his eyes felt good. He soon regretted it when he saw Boone picking up feathers from the floor.

Rolling his eyes up, Boone got a nice view of Old Ghost's jewels.

"Haha!" Old Ghost laughed, "Now you are a bathroom cleaner?"

"Yes. I am." Boone did not want to see any part of Old Ghost.

He collected feathers and left Old Ghost showering.
