The Room In the Mountain

THE ROOM IN THE MOUNTAIN At the base of the mountain rests a massive six-foot thick steel door that hides so many secrets behind the cold metal. Built in the dying days of the 20th century this secret room houses long forgotten strangers from the past; frozen in nitrogen in this cryogenic world are the dead who will one day awake. Now in the 23rd century the door has been breached and the contents have been seen by the world. In tubes of glass and in temperature-controlled freezers they lie with the same expression on their faces as the day they died. For they are not really dead but asleep, soon to awake. As daylight chases away the darkness the computer begins to slowly bring them back to life. What will they think of the 23rd century?
