HELP ME
CHAPTER 25 - HELP ME
A light was glowing high up on a shelf in section 405 in The Field Museum's warehouse. All of a sudden the light glowed brighter before going out. Boxes fell off the shelf as a form displaced them.
"Mother?" a voice, said, in the dark.
"Ahhhhh!" it screamed as its form turned over, falling 10 feet to the concrete below.
The man screamed again, as he hit the ground with full force. His head hit the corner of a box that had fallen off moments before, cutting into the right side, near his temple, but preventing him from losing consciousness or his life, as hitting his head on the concrete may have done. However, his left shoulder was dislocated in the fall and his elbow was fractured, as was his tailbone.
He lay there, tears springing to his eyes in response to the pain, trying to think of where he might be. His last thought was of being at a party where Cecily was, his brother and his brother's friends.
His brother! "If this was his brother's idea of a joke..." he thought, "get William drunk and dump him somewhere..."
But where? He tried to look around him, but could only see darkness.
He moaned as he tried to sit up, the pain of his dislocated shoulder, fractured elbow, and tailbone bringing tears to his eyes again.
He felt around with his right hand until he felt the shelf on the other side of the box he had hit. He pulled himself up carefully, until he was standing. He reached down, to feel his for his glasses and realized in horror that he was naked!
"Wait till mother finds out about this, Henry," William said, "you'll be sorry! She'll disinherit you for sure!"
William put his hand to his face and felt the warm and sticky liquid. He tentatively stuck his tongue to his finger and became woozy, when his taste buds confirmed that it was indeed, blood.
He trembled as he stood there, not knowing what to do. Every bone in his body ached, some lots more than others. He took a step and almost tripped over the fallen cartons. Almost cursing, he righted himself. He decided to 'follow' the shelves until he found an exit.
Slowly, he inched his way along the shelves. He knew he was moving slowly, because of the pain, but he was sure he had been moving for at least 10 minutes with still no end in sight. Finally he came to the end of the shelves, but still there was darkness and he didn't know what to do. He slowly walked forward, one half foot at a time, until his right foot hit the beginning of another row of shelves. He walked down this row, too, until finally, his eyes saw the distant glow of a small sign. Another 100 feet and he could make it out. EXIT it read. He stopped, looking at it. He'd never seen a sign lit up before like that.
Finally, he came to the end of the shelves and slowly walked to toward the EXIT sign. As he got closer, he could see the outline of a door. Breathing a sigh of relief, through his pain, he made his way over to it.
He found the push handle, and opened the door, stepping out into the hall. He immediately stopped as he came face to face with the bust of an Egyptian head in a case.
"Where am I?" he gasped, as he looked around the mostly darkened hall.
Painfully aware in the dim light of his nakedness, he tried to go back into the warehouse, to get a carton to cover himself, but the door had locked behind him.
He moved forward and found himself in a room that looked was filled with ancient artifacts from Egypt; mummies, gold, bones, pictures of pyramids, and recreations of burial rooms. He gasped as he looked at things that he'd never even seen in books before.
He came to another EXIT, this time he was in a large hall. As he walked he went past a cafeteria and a McDonalds, past a photo gallery and finally he came to a set of stairs. Painfully, he made his way up them.
Entering the main floor, his eyes widened in fear, and he let out a loud gasp, as he saw the enormous bones of the worlds largest dinosaur, It was Sue, the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found. He had never seen anything but a few small dinosaur bones on loan to his school during his last semester, and a few crude drawings that were making the rounds in his brother's circle of friends.
Heart pounding, he stood staring at this monstrous thing. Surely, it was some sort of joke. Nothing so large could have lived on this earth. How would Adam and Eve have lived in the Garden of Eden if something so huge had lived? It had to be a joke. All, a horrible joke.
He closed his eyes, swaying on his feet from dizziness. That's it. It had to be a joke, a dream, it couldn't be real! He would close his eyes and when he opened them, he would be back safe in his own bed at home, for this was surely the thing of nightmares.
He willed himself to breathe deeply, "That's it, I'm lying in my comfortable room, mother is downstairs having her tea, and I'm going to wake up and join her now!" he said.
He slowly opened his eyes, tears sprung to them, as he found himself once again across the room from the monster.
"Hey!" a voice cried out to him, startling him, "you! What are you doing here?"
He heard footsteps running toward him and without knowing why, he started to run.
"You! Stop!" the voice, said, "Stop or I'll shoot!"
He ran harder, he didn't know why, just instinct telling him he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A deafening sound exploded, as he fell onto the tiled floor, pain shooting through his left leg, above the knee. The last conscious thought he had before he passed out was, "Help me!"
