Stolen Minds

  Chapter 6

  Curiously Hannah found herself in an unusual looking expanse of black and blue undulating hues. Suddenly, the scene morphed and became a familiar setting and she found herself standing in her office at PharmaTech. She looked around and saw the lift light indicating an approaching visitor; panic began to rise within her. Finally, the lift reached her floor but when the doors opened a thick mist rolled out and filled Hannah’s vision, and she struggled to make out the image concealed within the mist. Hannah felt a terror she hadn’t felt before and she panicked, looking around for an escape but she found none. Scared and confused Hannah screamed…

  “Hannah,” called a strangely familiar voice.

  “Hannah,” called the voice again. “Wake up Hannah; it’s almost time to go,” the voice added and roused Hannah from her nightmare. She opened her eyes to see Nathan leaning over her with a worried expression on his face.

  “Are you OK?” Nathan asked and Hannah realised that she was drenched in sweat and her hands were still shaking from the dream. “Bad dream?” He added and Hannah nodded.

  “Are they all ready?” Hannah asked brushing aside her nightmare.

  “Yes, they’re just waiting on you.”

  “OK, thanks Duke. I’ll be out in ten, let me clean up first.”
