(Brightney POV) I was wandering around a floor by myself. I knew I had to be up in the lab. I couldn't, I SHOULDN'T abandon my duties. But I was tired of everything. My head spun constantly and I haven't been eating lately. I sat down, sighing. The world around me felt physically unstable, like the world was spinning and shaking around me. My stomach growled. Food, I need food. I spotted a candy on the floor and grabbed it. I popped it in my mouth, munching on the speed candy. I felt some energy return to me, and the world stopped shaking a little. I sighed in relief. I stood up shakily. I needed to head to the elevator, so I could get back to the lab. As I walked, I glanced around uneasily. It just hit me how quiet it was. The only sound I could hear was my quiet footsteps and my heart pounding in my ears. I saw a shadow in the corner of my eyes but I ignored it. It was probably just me being sleep-deprived and imagining things. But just as I got close to the elevator, I realized my mistake when something hit my head hard and I passed out.
