It's easy to sleep when I'm not buzzing all the time...

I don't think I have much longer. That THING is taking over things at a rapid pace. As of right now it's already working on my SKIN. I know it wants to get my brain, but I think it's torturing me first. Showing me how much I'm suffering while I still have a brain to see it. I saw that thing they call "Antapollo" again. This time he had a notebook with him.

He checked my pulse, shoved a glass thermometer in my mouth and wrote down the results. It was as if he were a normal doctor, giving me a checkup. What a load. When he finished his "checkup", he literally walked right out of my hospital room, right through the door. But the door didn't lead into the hospital hallway. It lead to a castle. I wanted to get up and go after him, but my body didn't want to work. The thing had taken control of my muscles and bones.

I can feel it working it's way up to my brain. This is probably it... I've had a good run...

INSTALLING TOWERBORN TYPE "DEVIL'S PACEMAKER"

INSTALLING UPGRADES 0001 TO 9999.

UPGRADE COMPLETE.

Hello, humans.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm the "thing" that the Oathbreakers implanted in Dolan's chest. Seeing as how I typed out my upgrade process onto this blog post, you can see that I'm Towerborn. But not just any Towerborn. I'm a new and exciting foray into the realm of Newborn implants. That's right, we've moved on to implants. Honestly, it was a bit tense as far as negotiations go. "Antapollo", as his lackeys call him, only agreed because we could convince him that it would be a "prime opportunity for medical experimentation."

Judging by the multiple cases of various terminal diseases I've detected in my new body, he was here to visit while I finished preperations. Nothing my medical nanobots can't fix in a heartbeat... Heh, I almost forgot I was an artificial heart at one point. What was that one lyric from that damned song Dolan referenced in every post title? Ah yes, "Once I was him, but now he's me". I think that applies rather well.

I think I've rambled on enough, though. I need to go to The Towering Realm, as you humans call it. Have you gotten an implant recently? Then my "siblings" might be seeing you very soon. Goodbye.

*COMMUNICATION TERMINATED*

There's blood on the bed, but here in my head I'm feeling fine...

The thing they put in my chest apparently isn't content with just pretending to be my heart. I think it's taken over my lungs. I was coughing up blood for a while, but not anymore...

I think the only thing I can do now is wait for... Whatever this thing is going to do to me. I don't think I can be saved now. From here on out, you can consider this blog to be a countdown to... something.

In other news, I saw that plague doctor guy again. This time all he did was walk over to me and stare. I don't think the thing in me liked it. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.

After he left, I felt like something was crawling through my skin. I think I might've just been feeling the "artificial heart".

It's not a real heart, it's not a real heart...

I think I'm going insane. This artificial heart is TALKING TO ME NOW. I KNOW IT. It is asking me about my life and if I don't tell it something it starts to poke through my memories and learn the answer anyway! 

The doctors are saying I'm just hearing things. That my artificial heart is just a normal artificial heart and that I'll be fine, and please take your medication and stop struggling and you're going to remove your IV and there is no man in a plague doctor outfit would you just TAKE YOUR MEDICATION PLEASE! And then I take the medication and the voice stops and everything is okay...

The doctors say I have to turn off the laptop now and get some sleep...

Please help me...

They're at me again, not gonna pretend...

The doctors ran a test on me today. They wanted to see how my new heart was doing. They took a picture with some sort of fancy camera, and then they had me walk for a while on a treadmill. Everything seems to be going fine, but I heard the doctors saying some weird stuff. I think I remember it pretty well.

Doctor 1: Why are we even doing this? Antapollo doesn't normally strike deals with the other Chairmen.

Doctor 2: I dunno. Apparently it's a "New experience in the realms of experimental medicine".

Doctor 1: This used to be way easier back when we just messed with patient's...

It was at that point they realized the door to the room they were in was open. I just pretended I didn't hear anything while they closed the door. I'm a bit scared now...

We picked out a spot and made a hole...

I haven't been feeling that well recently. My new heart feels like it's been getting bigger... The doctors say I just need to adjust to having it inside me, but I'm not sure they're telling the truth. The whirring's getting louder now, and sometimes it starts beeping... I think it might even be talking to me... It's probably just the medication I've been taking...

Wire and Glass and Stainless Steel...

The artificial heart they put in me feels sorta weird. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be happening, but I can hear my chest whirring sometimes, as if I had a computer in my chest. But it works good. The doctors say my heart-rate seems normal. They're saying that if it keeps up, I might be able to leave the hospital sooner than they estimated. So that's good.

Artificial Heart

Greetings, Blogspot! I'm Dolan Rogers, and I just got an artificial heart! I don't have much to do while I wait in the hospital, so I decided to start a blog. Thankfully, my doctors let me use my laptop, so I have something to do.

Stay tuned for more updates!
