[ wp ] everyone who had taken the vaccine died or went insane . You survived but when you looked in mirror something was different..

`` I would like to personally thank everyone for volunteering in the clinical trials for the vaccine,'' the Doctor began,'' Now if you follow me, I'll show you all to your dorm in which you'll live in for the next couple of days.'' He lead the group into the next room. 
 
 There was five of us that took part in the test. There were two women and three men, myself included. One man was old and walked with the help of his cane, whereas the other was young and seemed to be in the best shape of his life. The two women were middle-aged and they must be friends since they already knew each other. Then there was me. 
 
 I only decided to take the vaccine because they advertised that $ 1000 dollars would be given for our time. I was between jobs and needed the money. 
 
 `` You must all stay within the facility during the next three days after you take the vaccine tomorrow morning. We need to ensure that there are n't any negative side effects. Medical attention will be available to you 24/7. Also as you should know, food and water will be provided to you as well,'' the Doctor began finishing up, `` Any questions?'' 
 
 `` Yeah, what kind of side effects will we feel?'' the lady with blonde hair asked. 
 
 `` Nothing out of the ordinary. In worst case scenarios maybe some nausea and vomiting,'' the Doctor answered. When he saw no one else had any questions, he decided to leave us while saying, `` Supper will be served in an hour.'' 
 
 The dorm we were in was very bright even though there were n't any windows. There was five beds accompanied by one large bathroom and a camera watching in the corner of the dorm. 
 
 I settled into my bed and pulled out a book to read until supper. The others chose their beds as well. It felt very odd, at least the way this test was being conducted but I'd dare not investigate further. The Doctor stated earlier that it was very secretive and I just wanted my money. 
 
 We were called in by a nurse to go eat supper in the cafeteria. They served us a tender steak with a side of mashed potatoes. I was n't too hungry and did n't eat much. I was sitting alone with the old man and he started to speak to me. I learned his name is Francis and he was 72 years old. 
 
 `` So why are you here?'' I asked. 
 
 `` I feel like this is something important and I'm helping in some small way to make the world a better place,'' he hesitated a bit and said, `` My wife, Donna, she passed away from cancer a couple of years ago. I do n't want other people to watch a loved-one die from something incurable.'' His face flushed with sadness. I looked down at my food and felt ashamed by being in his presence. 
 
 I went to bed that night thinking about Francis. I guess I was being helpful too in my own way, even if my motif was selfish. 
 
 The next morning we were given the vaccine before breakfast. They were given by the nurse and we all went one by one. When I finally got the vaccine, my arm suddenly felt heavy and I was slightly light-headed. The same feeling seemed common among the rest of the group. The nurse said, `` It's fine, it's nothing to worry about.'' 
 
 We had breakfast shortly after and I sat with Francis again. He was n't talking much and hardly touched the eggs and pancakes that were served. 
 
 `` Are you okay?'' I asked him. 
 
 `` Yeah, just not that hung-'' as he was interrupted by puking out last night's supper. Luckily I did n't get any on me. The Doctor rushed in and with the help of the nurse they took Francis away. The rest of us were ordered to go into our dorm. 
 
 We waited inside the dorm for the next couple of hours for any news about Francis. 
 
 `` He's probably just too old, weaker immune system and all that,'' one woman said, her friend agreeing. 
 
 `` Do n't you think it's strange how were locked up in here for three days?'' the young man asked. `` I think we deserve to know what exactly this vaccine is for, if it makes someone puke like that. I hope the man is alright.'' 
 
 Coincidentally, Francis shuffled back into the room. 
 
 `` Are you feeling better?'' I asked. Francis looked pale. 
 
 `` Yeah,'' he said, `` just need some rest that's all.'' He then proceeded to lay in bed. 
 
 He stayed there for most of the day and in the evening before supper I went to take a shower. The bathroom was large with a huge mirror and had only one toilet and one shower. I thought about what I was doing here, living with these strangers. Also about how strange this all seems. I wondered if this test was even legal considering how secretive it all was. 
 
 My thoughts were interrupted by a yell. I threw on a towel and rushed out to see what was the commotion. One of the ladies collapsed and her friend was yelling in fear. The young man went up the her and began to feel her pulse. 
 
 `` She's dead,'' he said shocked. I ran to door only to see it was locked. 
 
 The lady was screaming, `` GET ME OUT OF HERE! GET ME *OUT*!'' 
 
 I looked at the alarm clock and noticed it was way past supper time. Suddenly I began feeling very dizzy. The young man started throwing up and the woman kept screaming and freaking out. Only Francis and the dead woman seemed still and calm. 
 
 I began seeing black and I lost all consciousness. 
 
 When I woke up, the dorm was quiet. I looked over at the alarm clock to see the time. The hands were moving backwards. I got up and ran to door but it was still locked. Panic began creeping in until I heard Francis. 
 
 `` Donna... Donna...'' he moaned will caressing the bloody body of a woman. I went to him and called out his name. He did n't hear me and kept gazing at nothing. 
 
 `` Donna... Donna...'' he kept moaning. 
 
 I noticed the young man laying by the door. He looked dead and I did n't want to get closer. 
 
 There was no way out from the dorm, I looked under every bed and tried to open up the vents in the roof without success. Finally I went to check the bathroom. 
 
 It seemed normal at first until I noticed the mirror. In fact it was n't a mirror anymore. It was just black. 
 
 `` What the fuck is this?'' I asked. I was only answered by Francis' moans. 
 
 I stuck my hand out to the blackness only to see it was just empty. That's when I noticed a dim light on the other side. It seemed very far away and it was easy to miss. It was a small speck of white in the infinite darkness surrounding it. 
 
 Seeing as there was no other way out of this dorm I climbed into the darkness. I felt like I was floating through a fluid yet I was still able to move as I pleased. 
 
 I began moving towards the light, the sound of Francis growing faint with every passing second.
