Sleepless in Manhattan

Reality

~Present Day~

The court room filled with anxious murmurs that were audible from across the large Mahogany doors. A large black police guard stood menacingly behind me, clutching my skinny bicep, his face grim with disgust as he looked down at me. However I couldn't care less about what he thought about me. All I wanted to do was get this over with. My impatience grew rapidly and I looked over at the man who kept his firm grip around my arm

"When is this thing going to start?" I grumbled in annoyance as the time died away while I waited for him to bring me into the room.

"Shut up" he spat at me, droplets of his saliva springing to land on my face. I raised my hand to wipe my face, grimacing in displeasure.

Ew.

"You spit on me" I growled, frustrated with the man. He only pulled his gaze to look at the door. A sigh emitted from my lips and I continued to wait, the silver links that were cuffed around my wrists felt cold against the tan skin. Baggy cloth ruffled when I shifted my feet to stand in a more natural position with my left knee bent and leg cocked out, my eyes grazing over the orange material that covered my body.

It felt like only yesterday when I had been taken in for questioning by the police, in promise that I would be released from the interview, only to be arrested shortly after I spoke my confession. Yes I did do what they accused me of and I don't regret it. Not one bit. The swine got what he deserved. It was the day I finally got my revenge, knowing very well of the consequence but I never thought I would be discovered. I may have pleased my own conscious and solved my own troubles but one problem continued to linger in my guilty mind.

Desi.

Before I could remanis the memory any longer a loud creaking snapped me out of my thoughts. Suddenly, the room fell quiet, accusing stares thrown at me from every direction. You could almost taste the tension in the room. It felt like you could even reach out and grab it from the air.

As I was dragged from my spot to my seat across the room, I began to wonder if this was all real. It couldn't be real. The situation was just one that was worked into a crime show on the television that I was currently reaming of, and in any moment I would awaken with a warm body cuddled into my side.

Peaceful.

But that never came.

This is reality.

It's real.

The impossible is really happening.

Short, yes

Simple, yes

But affective. Nothing more than a filler and introduction.

But what do you guys think?

Who do you think the person is?

Who is Desi?

Why is the person going to court?
