2 minutes. Go!

The contact was incidental. Skin brushing skin...nothing out of the ordinary except for the electric shock. Not static. It was enough to knock you backward. Enough to put you on your defenses. 

Eels and live wires have more in common than just electricity.

The sound started low...a feeling inside more than a sound, but it grew steadily until it blotted everything out. It triggered something inside you. You acted without thinking. Woke up covered in blood, mouthing the words ACTIVATED - SLEEPER CELL. The ushers took you out back for the slice blade. Throat open.

You don't know anything now. You're dead. 

Reboot.
