I shouldn’t have ever popped up at his house, I really thought that I was in love with him and I wanted him to get better. I knew he told me the story about taking pills but I didn’t think that it would lead me here. Just yesterday, I had a premonition that things were going to go south. I thought about what it would be like to pop up at his house and my daydream told me that I would end up a dead...
I woke up to the sound of a semi truck blaring its horn. The light of the sun outside gleamed into the back of the car I was lying in. My hand shot up covering my eyes as the squinted open. My head was a throbbing train wreck from the night before. Flashes from the bar light and all the alcohol glasses pourd into my memory. I looked up to the front to see some random lady in the driver seat.
“E...
I woke up dazed with a pain in the back of my head. I tried moving but was restrained by ropes. All I remember before getting here was leaving my local convenience store. I had walked down the side walk past an alley. And then, nothing. I looked to the drivers seat. A man witty a mask sat there, driving hurriedly. He seemed like he needed to get somewhere, and fast. He looked in the rear view mirr...
You wake up in the back seat of a car, disoriented, your head pounding. For a second, everything feels muffled—the hum of the engine, the faint city noise outside, your own thoughts. It’s late. The kind of late where the streets are almost empty, and even the neon signs seem tired, flickering in the night.

“That was strange.” Lily said making her way into the art gallery to look for Casey.

I feel myself floating through cold darkness as the tail end of my dream begins to fade away into the ether of sleep. This leaves me with a eerie feeling, when the gentle rumbling of the car snaps me awake. I jolt upright and the bright light glaring through the windows temporarily overwhelms me as I try to get my bearings. My hand rises to block my face from the sun as my eyes adjust.

Tony’s head was pounding after smacking against the side wall of the truck. His parched mouth and bone dry eyes led him to believe he would not feel any different if he had woken in a nice bed. His eye’s slowly came into focus and he noticed a dark sky and unfamiliar faces. He moaned and laboriously made his way to sitting up.
“Where am I?”
“Hola amigo. ¿Dormiste bien?”
Shit.
The other men in th...
I wake with a start and a huge intake of air. It’s cold and dark. I lift my head slightly. Where am I? I try to sit up but my hands are tied behind my back. Panic strikes me. I frantically wriggle and struggle desperately. I manage to slide up into a seated position. I’m in the back of an empty car. I slide across the seat and try to open the door. It’s locked. Shit. What is going on? My head is s...

ON REPEAT FOR THIS!!!
Pace yourself with the beats.
The song is four minutes long.
So you have plenty of time.)
