January 15,I had decided I was going to suicide that day. I didn't want to be Unnoticed. I wanted everyone to notice me at least once in their lives. The time had come, the plan was set, I was going to suicide at the big carnival that was being held that day. When I got  there I had to bypass security in order to get my gun to the carnival. I saw the perfect chance, the stage was clear. I just had to go up there and do it, finally, for once,everyone was going to know who I was. Too bad that the would have to noticed me too late.

I was about to run to the stage but,out of the crowd a hand reached and grabbed me by the shoulder, who could it be, did they find out about my plan, was this it for me? For a split second I felt like everything I had built up to now, this plan, had failed. Then I heard a slightly familiar voice calling my name. I turned around while still wondering if this was it. Then, I saw who it was. It had been my psicology teacher who had grabbed me,his name was James Zane, all students called him Mr. Zane in front of his face, but behind his back they would call him a mad psicologist. They said Mr. Zane was crazy and that he used to do illegal experiments on people's behavior, like trap them and leave them there for some days and that kind of stuff. I never payed much attention in his class. I wondered what he wanted from me.

When I was relieved of I my nerves I looked at him and said with a kind of depressed voice.

"oh, hi.. "

"What's wrong" he asked.

I didn't want him to find out about my plan so I stood quiet until he decided to say something else.

"okay, I get it, you don't trust me. "

"no, not quite. " I said.

he looked at me, his eyes were dark, his stare was cold, I felt like I was in a horrible place, the way he looked at me gave me a bad feeling about him. Then, he smiled, his stare changed and he said.

"hey!, since this is a carnival, want to play a game?".

I didn't really want to play, but if I didn't play he might have suspected something, so I said that I did want to play.

"gorgeous, now follow me, if you may sir".

I followed Mr. Zane we got to a big tent that was by the side of the main road where the dancers for the carnival would present their show. I took a quick glance around me and all I could see was darkness.

"okay! let me explain the rules to you. This is a maze, if you catch me inside the maze I myself will give you that thing that you most desire " said Mr. Zane .

I didn't think he was going to give me what I desired. All I wanted was happiness, at least a little bit of it.

" are you reaaady !? "he said with excitement.

I tried to joke around with him and said.

" I was born ready. "

He did a count down from 3 and then ran to the maze. He was pretty quick, but I had experience having to run away from bullies. After a couple minutes I trapped him in a corner and just when I was about to say.

"checkmate. "

I got hit and blacked out. When I was conscious again I felt a lot of pain in my head, I also felt like I was drugged. Then a voice I couldn't recognize because of the effects of the drug asked.

"what is your name?".

I looked around there where withe lights all over the place.

"Erick , Erick pace "

I answered still wondering what was happening. And the mysterious voice talked again.

"so, Mr. Pace ,I have one last question... What would your dream world be like?".

I was confused, what kind of question was that. I didn't know what to answer.

"tell me, and I, will give you that thing you most desire, happiness" said the voice.

"happiness?..."
I thought to myself and then blacked out again...
