Six - The Sleeper Must Awaken

"You fool," he says, "did you really think i'd let you get away with it?"
I hear a voice protesting innocence, and realise it's mine. But he doesn't care.
"You tried to take her from me. From ME!"
He leans closer.
"I was just going to kill you, but the professor's been after a better class of subject for a while. So...it's you. Enjoy the pain, Alex - this is goodbye."
He turns and walks towards the door, pauses to give instructions to somebody out of sight.
"No anaesthetic, you hear me? None."
A mumble.
"Well, wear some damn earmuffs, then!"
A door slams, and a minute later a new face is looking down at me.
"It is a shame it had to end like this - you were a most promising student. But now, you are my most promising test subject, ha-ha!"
I say something weak like "You don't have to do this", and he laughs.
"Have to? My dear lab rat, i WANT to. If you hadn't crossed him, i'd have suggested you anyway in a week or so. I need proper tests on real people, not society's garbage. Now, be quiet. It is time to begin."
He leans down with THAT scalpel and i begin to scream. As i black out, the last thing i remember are his huge green eyes boring into mine...
I awake with a start, covered in sweat. A dream? No, too real for that. And suddenly i remember another name - Papilavici, Professor Papilavici. I strain, but no other details come. Was the other man Karlsson? It seems likely.
Suddenly i hear a noise outside the cave...something coming this way. In the dim morning light i notice the pile of gnawed bones at the side of the cave, and curse my stupidity. No escape - it's too close. I brace myself as something pushes past the bush. My next thought is "what a lot of teeth..."

A professor isn't necessarily a scientist, you know

I wonder how many false assumptions you've all made

You heard they're making Appointment with FEAR as a DS game?

I remembering hearing about Appointment with FEAR somewhere, not sure where. Never played that book, though.
