The sun was at the apex of the sky when our hero awakened from his sleep. In his linen sheets he slumbered until it was time for him to rise, but it is when he comes to he realizes that he is late for classes once again. “Oh not again, Im late for my classes!” He exclaimed while ripping the sheets off of him and rushed toward his closet to clothe himself. It is then he realized he had only one shoe. What has happened to the other shoe? You just wait; the answer is soon to come.
“Where did my shoe go? Oh wait I mustve left it at the chemistry lab!” Says Hero delightfully. Exuberant is he in remembering the location of his shoe.

“Are you sure? I need to get to class or else Ill fail” said the voice.
“Yes I said yes I will Yes!!”
“Oh I suppose I didnt hear you the first time.”
Hero glances at both doors quickly and with a split decision he goes through a door. Through the door four walls lined the room with plain looking walls and the periodic table of the elements hanging from the wall facing the door. A large desk sits in the middle of the room with several fold-up tables and chairs barricading the rest of the room from the table of elements.
“Hello? Has anybody seen my shoe?” Hero said while knocking on the already open door.
“Its you! Its the hero
