His gaze flickered back and forth between the floor numbers, unable to settle. They seemed to dance before his eyes. It felt as if he had existed in this metal box forever, and the outside world was just a distant dream.

He mumbled, "Anyone know why we're here?" His voice sounded thin and frail, as if it was coming from a great distance.
