Brush Stroke

Father

Calvin experiences another odd dream that night. In his dreamscape, he finds himself surrounded on all 4 sides by cold, featureless concrete walls. He's strapped to a chair, one that might be seemly would not be uncommon in a dentists office. As the dream loses focus for a short moment, a previously unnoticeable slab of concrete slides into the floor revealing 3 hooded figures. As they walk into the room, Calvin listens as one mutters to the other a short phrase in a language he cannot understand. As they approach Calvin, they split up, until they surround him. Low chanting begins to emanate from the cloaked figures, and Calvin's vision begins to transform into a blinding white light

Sneaking through one of the thousands of back alley's in the city, Calvin finally gets an unobstructed view of the concrete complex. Its intimidating appearance stares back at him. A bead of sweat rolls down his forehead, he hadn't really thought through what he was gonna do. He'd assumed a disguise as a police man he had taken down on the way there, So he assumed getting in would be easy, but he couldn't shake the feeling that it wouldn't be.

Calvin finds himself wandering the mass of hallways in the complex. The concrete walls, tiled floor, and sterile air was all he saw for what felt like hours. However, just as he was starting to think he was walking in circles, an unpleasant smell filled Calvin's nostrils.

Now past the jail cells, Calvin finds himself in a corridor of windows, each one seemly peering into a square featureless room, aside from a patients chair in the middle of the room. Calvin's eyes widen when he realizes that its the same setup from the dream he had. Venturing further, he picks up faint chanting further down the corridor.
