My first attempt at writing is officially a failure. No link, no Age.

I realised that as my hand nears an active linking panel, there is a sort of electric sensation. A strange “pins & needles” feeling right before touching the panel. I realised that this would have to be the test if the panel was active or not.

I lowered my hand towards the panel, frightened for my life. One slip, one tremble or sneeze and I could be sent to a horrible death. I felt no pins, no needles. No sensation. Just my own heart pounding in my ears. I placed my hand closer and closer to the panel, convinced that it was active.

My hand hit the panel.

Nothing happened.

Failure.
