《Silence》Chapter 3

No way. No freaking way.
I’m in bed, again.
The first day, I didn’t even remember falling asleep. The second day--yesterday--I’m pretty sure I fell asleep on the park bench.
Can I even call them days? The sun never went down. Strangely enough, the sun’s brightness doesn’t bother my eyes at all. Not even when I go from a darker to a lighter area.
Alright, let’s call them days, where a day starts when I wake in bed. So today is officially the third day. I need to write this down somewhere. I search the house for a pen and paper. Despite being in year 20032 (it’s 2032? What happened between 0 and 2032?) I’m still old-school, whatever that means. I like my pen and paper.
I find paper on a shelf in the office of...my house and use a pen from one of the boxes of seemingly new pens next to the paper. After drawing three marks, I pin the paper to the living room wall with a small knife from the kitchen. Then it occurs to me, what if the world resets every time I sleep?
I run to the park and find the baby still sitting lifelessly on the swing. I heave a sigh of relief. Then my stomach growls.
Upon returning home I open the fridge and take out an apple. I start to cut the fruit with one of the other small knives, but then I see some blood spilling out and feel a tingling sensation on my left hand. I’d cut myself.
It doesn’t hurt, like I expect it to. I stand still, watching the blood flow out in amazement before I realize that I should stem the flow. As I start to move, however, the blood turns into white numbers--like the ones flying off the edges of all those body parts or the ones that made up the baby on the swing--and disappears. A string of the numbers floats across my finger and the cut closes. I’m amused more than amazed. What would happen if I get a bigger injury? Or if I drown? Not that I really want to try, but doesn’t this make me virtually immortal?

I bite into the apple and feel it crunch between my teeth. Again, no taste, no sound, no texture. It catches in my throat and I cough. Mechanically, I pull out a cup and fill it with water from the refrigerator. Water is the only thing that tastes like it should: nothing. I grimace. Were my jokes always this bad?
I have a sudden urge to pee. Running to the bathroom I tug off my belt and relieve myself. I glance in the mirror as I wash my hands and see a handsome face staring back at me. I admire my face, then pull of my shirt and stare at my body. Was I some sort of model? Is that even...me?
I touch my abs and involuntarily shiver. My hands are still wet. Strange. I wipe them on one of the two hanging towels and realize I left the water running. Not being able to hear is turning out to be quite the hassle. If this were the real world, I would be wasting a ton of money. Wait a minute, real world? This world is not real?
Another memory comes back to me.

Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides.
