The breeze caressed my face softly, and I closed my eyes as I listened to the trees talk amongst themselves. A rusty leaf left its perch, drifting down into the cool water below. A sign that summer was reaching its end. “Reina! Were done eating! You ready for the scariest ride yet?” My friend grasped my wrist, pulling me from my peace. I sighed, put couldn’t stop the smile from gracing my lips. “Yeah, but you idiots better not throw up on me.” “Oh please, I can handle anything. You would be more likely to throw up!” One of the others threw his arm around my shoulder, crumbs still decorating his face. “I’m not the one that just chowed down three hot dogs.” The wind picked up a bit as we headed to the ride, but no one else seemed to notice. As we reached the line, I felt a shadow cross my face. My gaze lifted up, and I watched as the sun faded from the sky. “I thought the weather forecast said it was going to be sunny…” I mumbled under my breath. “Reina, pay attention! It’s our turn.” They strapped us in, and I couldn’t stop myself from joining my friends in their excitement. The buckle clicked into place, and I heard the speaker as our ride slowly started moving. I looked to my friend, but caught the eye of someone else past her. His white lab coat drifted in the wind, as he gazed down at the clipboard in his hand. He met my eye and a grimace contorts his face. He pulls a phone out of his pocket. But the ride is now too far ahead. The wind harshly dips into my side, and I clench the safety bars until my knuckles turn white. The clouds cover every inch of blue in the sky. I open my mouth to call my friend’s name, but not a word comes out. What is her name? I look ahead of me at my other friends. What are their names? Why am I here? Who am I? My hands fall as the safety bars vanish. I collapse in the seat before that goes away, too. I’m falling. Please. I’m scared. How did I get here? “Patient 272, hard reset required.” “Trial number 63 ends with ending 16: discovering the truth.” “Reina! Were all going to the mall after lunch! Do you wanna come?” I look up from my meal, excitedly letting out a yeah before shoveling the rest of my food in my mouth. “Let’s go!”
