Lucas by Cameron Barrett Lucas opened his eyes and blinked. The alarm had awakened him and he instinctively tried to reach over and turn it off but he found he couldn't move his arms. His whole body for that matter, not even his head. At least he still had his sight. Lucas surveyed the situation. To his immediate right was the alarm buzzing monotonously.
