[ WP ] It 's 3016 , cryogenic people are being revived for the first time .

Slowly, I felt my senses coming to life, like my brain was booting. I could move my eyes, slowly but surely, yet I had no sight. I do n't know how long it had been - maybe a century, maybe millennia - but it felt so damn good to be alive. And what wonderful world awaited me? Was immortality actually in my grasp? 
 
 I could n't move my body. It would take some time for the ice to thaw, for the feeling in my limbs to return - they had told me this of course, only hours before I was frozen. I began to feel restless, eager - excited even. *I'm in the future! * 
 
 The darkness gradually brightened, until the light was almost too much to bear. I blinked against it, until dark figures appeared over me, helping block the harsh glare. How advanced were they? Would they even still understand my archaic English? 
 
 I still could not move, could not feel. The ice, now melting, kept my head in place. I just wanted to greet them, to thank them for waking me. I saw other open cryogenic chambers around me, yet all seemed to be empty. 
 
 They seemed to be busying themselves with my body, no doubt preparing it for the official revival process. The ice had finally melted enough for me to move my head, and I slowly turned to the nearest figure I could see, and focused my dim eyes on his face. 
 
 It was not what I expected. He seemed strangely brutish... beastly even. He barely looked like a man from the future. He barely looked *human*. 
 
 And even though my senses were dimmed, I still felt the fear hit heavy and hard. 
 
 I forced my head upright, looking at them crowding around my body. 
 
 And it dawned on me. 
 
 *They're eating me alive. *
