All Peaceful Enclosures and its inhabitants are safe for now, but not until a leak in Enclosure Numbered Twenty Two was discovered in the glorious month of August, and an unknown matter eventually found its way into the small cracks in the impenetrable walls. It was in the form of a liquid and a gas, which are both odorless to the senses, but nobody is taking any chances despite the initial assessment. The emergency button was immediately deployed to prevent the foreign matter to further contaminate everything in the said Enclosure, so those who have been affected near the source of the leakage were effectively isolated.
During the first five days from the contamination, a total of twelve people exhibited no symptoms, except for the two who suffered flu-like symptoms. While their place was isolated from the rest, there is no other way to quarantine the twelve from those experiencing the fever without opening further the ways of contracting a potential deadly disease. The options are limited, and everybody exposed to a deadly pathogen is ready to what will happen next.
In the fourteenth day after the contamination, the twelve people still remained unharmed and appeared to be healthy, while the two unfortunate souls worsened as their health deteriorated as the days passed by. It was then decided by the leader of the Enclosure to keep the two from an isolated corner as much as possible in an attempt to rescue the other twelve from whatever pathological effects that are detrimental to their physical health that they are seem to be immune of.
After a month of observation, the twelve people were alarmed as their two unlucky companions started to change physiologically; suspectively their bodies are entering the stage of advanced decomposition. But they are still alive, but the rotting smell as well as the maggot, were unmistakable. Everybody was starting to fear the unknown as the two bodies are starting to change without a scientificexplanation, which defies all methods available in current medicine.
"Vampires," one of the twelve simply said one day, emotionless but frightened.
"What?" the other of the twelve said. "How would you know?"
"I just know. I know you know, too."
They were all stunned with the answer. But it was evidently true.
"You just don't want to acknowledge reality," he then added. Everybody fell silent.
All of them watched as the two unfortunate souls began their gruesome metamorphosis. Is this how vampires really came to be? What organic matter did this resulting to a horrendous effect to the healthy bodies of human beings?
After awhile, someone said something.
"But can it be really true? What is reality?"
"This is not reality, but a fantasy," another from the twelve answered back confidently. "Reality is experienced in a world that can be experienced. This world is not real. We are simply living in a dream. A fantasy. There is nothing really to significantly fear."
"What do you mean? How are you certain of this?"
"It is hard to explain for now, but this relates to the aspect of consciousness. Back in our original dimension, we are all asleep and this is a method of experiencing this dream. After awhile, we will all wake up from this nightmare. But the problem lies in one specific aspect," he explained as accurately as he could.
"What is the problem, then?"
"We are all hostages."
