[ WP ] And in that moment he out-shined even the sun

A loud buzzing noise woke Ryan from his dreams. He sighed, looking at the cell around him. His dreams were far more pleasant than this place. Standing took a lot of effort, as did everything else in this place. Once he was up, his cell door opened and a couple of guards came in. “ Time for your checkup Santos. ” 
 
 He held out his hands for the cuffs. “ Let's get it over with then. ” 
 
 The guards were quiet on the short walk to the infirmary, which was perfectly fine with Ryan. In the infirmary a doctor directed the guards to an exam table. They shackled him to it and then went to wait outside. `` Ah, Mr Santos, how are you doing today?'' the doctor asked as he walked over to Ryan. 
 
 He grunted. `` All due respect sir, can we just get this over with?'' 
 
 The doctor frowned. `` Very well.''

 Ryan grunted and pushed himself off the ground, opening his eyes. He shook his head slightly, feeling groggy. Looking around him, he found he was in a large room, blackened with marks from what must have been from an inferno. `` The hell is this?'' 
 
 He rubbed his eyes, his sight still blurry from waking up, and it was n't getting any better. His head was pounding in his ears and his skin felt like it was on fire. Letting out a groan he stumbled through the room looking for the door. After a few laps to make sure it was n't just his eyes, he realized there was no way out. 
 
 There was a camera in each corner of the room that Ryan had n't noticed before. He stood in front of one of them and waved his arms. `` Hey! Let me out!'' 
 
 The room was twenty paces by twenty paces. He learned this by pacing from camera to camera, hoping to get someone's attention. As the hours passed he got more and more agitated. `` Let me the hell out of here! This is cruel and inhumane, ai n't there laws about that!'' 
 
 His skin burned and itched while his head pounded louder and louder. He scratched at his arms so much that he tore his skin. `` Please, something ai n't right with me. I need a doc!'' 
 
 Help was n't coming. He had figured that out hours ago. It did n't stop him from trying. He had to get out, escape. Anything to be out of this room. 
 
 A flash of heat ran through his body, dropping him to his knees. His skin began to glow, waves of light flashing under his skin. He tried to scream but all that came out was light. The heat crescendoed until his body could contain it no longer. 
 
 In that moment he out-shined even the sun.
