you know who you are, and where you're from, and what your life is about, but imagine if you didn't.  imagine you have no idea who you are, or who your parents are.  imagine waking up in a place made of steel with cruel people yelling at you and commanding you to do impossible tasks.  imagine them never teaching you about your life or heritage. imagine them prodding you with needles and taking tests, and laughing at your pain filled whispers and attempts to speak.  imagine being locked in a glass room with nothing more then a pillow and a shelf to sleep on.
that's the beginning of my life, they called me gil-024.  now I go by just gil.  very recently, I escaped that place with some help from some of the other prisoners.  each of them carries an ability I have, but each ability has been warped.  strength, illusions, shapeshifting, speed, flexibility, I have all of these abilities and I plan to use them.
my imprisoners loved my abilities and made me practice with most of them until I neared perfection.  I heard rumor of asecond creature who was exactly like me.  I broke out of my cell to find him and I think he broke free long before me.
in one of the tunnels I escaped from, there was a gouge cut into it and a familiar scent, so I followed it.  it led me to the outside world... and that's where I stand now, looking out at the world which has been kept from me all these years.
Its my second try at a beginning in the second part of my book. This one revolves around a species named Senegals, half human sergals. The main one in this series is Gil, and he is determined to hunt down his host and discover who he is

Hm, sounds like a good opening to me.
