Here are several details that would have enriched part one. They would have gone into the actual story, but I missed them in the summary. Some of this stuff is vital for future parts.
- Nobody knows what The Place is. There are speculations, though. Since the place seems to foster unique superhuman abilities, some believe it is mystical in nature (ie, some kind of buddist-zen-heaven-afterlife-place for meditation away from the worldly posessions, or a 'limbo'ish place where people wait between reincarnations.). Others believe it is all a scientific experiment from aliens. Yet others believe it is a place to from God.
- Super human abilities start to develop during the first three weeks. Abilities differ from person to person. This can vary from increased physical endurance to enhanced senses to telepathy. Most of these seem to be 'passive' involuntary abilities.
- The Protagonist has been having nightmares of his friends and family calling for him. He feels sad and longs for them.
- Neither the Protagonist nor the Love Interest seem to have developed any new abilities.
- Word of mouth suggests that the Place has been occupied for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. This is not verifiable since the longest a person can stay is four months.
- The population of the Place is fewer than three hundred. There is evidence of another civilization, but there are no indications of any intelligent life. Normal Earth animals are around though.
- People can still be injured. Deaths have occured since the Protagonist came.
- Dead people's bodies disappear when nobody is observing them. (Quantum Locked, lole.)
- People who stay in the Place too long eventually go into a coma-sleep. These patients don't have a way of feeding themselves, and they eventually die.
- Food comes solely from vegetation. There is a fruit can taste like any food imaginable. If you are thinking about a cheeseburger before eating it, then it'll taste like a cheeseburger. In fact, this is the only non-Earthly life in the whole Place.
- The area surrounding the Camp is mostly unexplored by current inhabitants. People like to stay together in the camp where everything is provided.
- Protagonist had no idea how he got there. He was just living his life, and then Bam! He awakens in an opened 'coffin' drugged, groggy, and in pain. He blacks out and awakens at camp.
Last we left off, the Protagonist willingly sacrificed himself for his Romantic Interest by going into the coffin-transportation device. The conditions of The Place slowly returns to normal.

PS. I can't do anything on the 23rd. My parents strongly wants me to eat my first dinner at home with the rest of the family.
