Left Behind

The Beginning...

The sun is beginning to rise, the clouds are bright orange, it's approximately Dawn. I woke up to the throbbing pain in my head, ankles and wrists. I quickly scanned my surroundings, for even the slightest clue of where I might be. Unfortunately all that I could see was miles and miles of dessert waste land. I had very little memory of last night, just a few blurred images. All that I could remember was a huge unforgettable party at someone important's house, I just couldn't remember who. I started running Where I thought North was, trying to find anything living in the vast waste land. After about 20 miles I finally reached an old broken-down and clearly deserted Gas station, I decided that know one has been using it for a long time. A sign was hanging on a tall pole saying "Out of gas". "Well that helps a lot, thank you" I shouted at the rusty sign sarcastically. It still didn't give me any clue of where I might be, or how I got here. As I turned around to leave, something reflecting in the light of the sun caught the corner of my eye. Felling suspicious I turned around and stopped dead-still for a minute or two thinking about what to do, before I finally gave in to the suspicion that was gnawing at the bottom of my stomach, and I slowly walked to the strange object that was shining. When I reached the spot where I saw the shining, I hovered about for quite awhile before gathering enough courage to see the strange object.I decided to look really quickly before I could even regret my own decision. It turns out that the shining object, that I thought was a very mysterious was a car license. I thought that I was so pathetic thinking it might have been something magical or special, I kept saying " why was I so dumb to think that" but after a minute the truth actually dawned on me. I realized that if this place is really deserted like I thought it was, then why on earth would there be a car license? "Is there a secret place in this dessert waste land that I don't know about?" I thought. I quickly decide that the best action to take was to hide here and see if anyone comes to this old, abandoned Gas station. Maybe if someone does come they might be Able to help me get out of here. I waited for more than 12 hours before falling asleep, I suddenly jerked awake when I heard a noise, it sounded like footsteps. I started thinking if I should reveal myself to this person who is walking around, or if I should just follow them and see where they are going. In the end I decided that I would just follow them after all how do I know if they are friendly or foe? Besides they might have some lodgings that Perhaps I could stay in. The person walked around for another 20 minutes, before I finally heard the engine of a car starting. Quickly and silently I got up from my hiding place behind a old gas tank, and started following the car, that was driving South-West. I had to sprint to keep up with the driving car, "I don't know if I can keep up much longer" I panted while speaking to myself. Finally after what felt like a millions years, in which case it was actually only 40 minutes. The car stopped and at an old, rust, broken-down and quite smelly barn. I wonder why on earth would any normal person go to this barn? I quickly ducked behind an old crate, as I heard someone getting out of the car. Something in the moonlight shimmered, it had to be a gun, suddenly I started breathing really fast close to hyperventilating. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, what have I gotten myself into? Following some random dangerous person playing detective, if he saw me now he would probably shoot me, and I'd be dead without seeing my family one last time. I suddenly snapped out of my day-dreaming when I heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor. I quickly looked up at the person, then ducked back down again to my hiding spot in case they saw me. "Am I hallucinating?" I thought to myself, earlier when I was running after the car I could have sworn that the driver was a man, and now suddenly the driver turned into a women wearing high heels. I had no idea what I was going to did, but unfortunately that was already decided for me, by someone else. The women who I could have sworn was a man earlier, walked straight to the door mumbling something under her breath, "maybe a secret password?" I thought. Just as she was about to walk into the old barn, she spotted me peeking out from the old crate, I couldn't help it I was curios to see what was going on. The women walked over to me and demanded to know what I was doing here. I considered lying and saying I'd gotten lost or telling her the truth that I'd actually followed her here. I ended up deciding to tell her the truth which I did, unfortunately she did not even believe one single word I said. And the next thing I knew, I was being dragged into the barn being held captive and there was nothing I could do about it...
