Where Am I?

okay, i'm going to write a descriptive paragraph and you have to guess where I am [and if you're really good, guess the situation]....

I feel a cold chill run down my spine. The surface is freezing, my neck and back feel like I plunged into a pool of needles. There is a bright light in my face. I can tell even though I cannot see, for I was told to keep my eyes shut. I still wouldn't be able to see if I opened them for the eye mask that had been placed over my face. The last thing I remember seeing is a dimmly lit hallway. Nothing extraordinary, just a hallway with gray walls and a light haze that makes it difficult to breathe. It was night. The shine from the moon and streetlights stream through the windows, giving the hallway an erie glow. Then blackness. I awoke where I am right now. I'm not here against my will. In fact, I am here for someone. What I am about to face will determine my very existance. But it's not like my existance is important. Well maybe it is to one person, and that person is the very reason why I'm here. I didn't know that things would turn out this way. I always thought that I would be alone, doing my own business, not a care in the world. If this had happened earlier, then that may have been the case. The plague has worked a steady course of neural complexity, making it's way deep through the systematic community crossroads of tubes and pods and liquids, engulfing everything in it's path. But it's not too late. It is reversible. If time was taken, then it could have been permanent. I hear clanging. Like a percussionist hitting a tamborine but softer. I hear murmuring. Like a skitzo who can't come to a decision. I can't make out what is being said but there is definitely more than one person present. I can sense them approaching. The clanging is getting louder. The eye mask soaks up with my sweat. I don't even notice my heavy panting as I anticipate what is about to be done. They are leaning over me now. I can tell because the light that was in my face has softened. The clanging abruptly stops. All I can hear is my heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump. I feel slight pressure on my chest. I hear a sudden heavy buzz......
