Replaced Without A Trace

The psychology experiment paid three hundred dollars for two hours. I should have known

something was wrong when they asked if anyone would miss me. I showed up to this

unmarked office building downtown Tuesday afternoon. Just needed rent money.

The waiting room had no windows, just fluorescent lights and five other guys around

my age. None of us talked. We all avoided eye contact. They called me into

a white room with a single chair and a mirror. A woman's voice came through a speaker

telling me to sit and stay calm. Then the questions started. What's your biggest

fear. Who knows you're here. When did you last speak to your family.
