I was gonna win something big, it was the only thought I had in my head.
So, I ran.
I ran until my vision adjusted to the darkness and I stood infront of a big wheel.The wheel was the kind you saw on game shows with the bright colors showing off and the big red arrow on top, but it kind of disturbed me when I couldn't quite make up what the words meant. I then concluded that maybe it was just a big amount of money and the game master might explain it later.
I yelled to call my parents as they were nearing the darkened room.
When they entered we all stood in front of the wheel. The game master came in after them and opened the lights.
Then, we all stood in shock at what was the most horrible sight we could ever imagine.
We were inside an underground laboratory.
The big wheel in the middle was the only thing out of place, the lab was messy. Test tubes and bottles of chemicals were all on the floor.
Chills went through my whole body as I realized this whole thing was a big mistake.

My big brother was a chemist in Malaysia, he lived and worked there with our other relatives for about two years.
He came home on holidays and called to check on me every Saturday before my bed time.
That was until the accident happened.
One afternoon, I heard the telephone rang. I was watching television with my dad, although I never really understood basketball games much I sat there with ice cream smothered all over my face.
Mom got to answer the phone, I stood up and went to her so she could help me wipe my face clean.
But as I made my way to her, I wondered why her body seemed to shake and tears came rolling down her eyes. I stared up at her for a moment, then finally she said "Okay, thank you. We'll come as soon as possible."
She then picked me up, ignored the mess that I was and carried me up to my room. She told me to not come down unless I was told to do so.
Even at seven I could understand that she was in pure pain and she was trying to hide it from me.
When I heard her steps down the stairs, I decided to just take a peak at what was going on.
Dad had turned off the television and was talking with Mom now. Mom was crying and Dad just hugged her and tried to calm her down, but Dad was crying too.
I didn't really understand all the crying, so I went back to my room and decided to wipe my face clean with wet wipes. After at what seemed to be an hour, my Mom told me that we were going to Malaysia tomorrow.
I asked her if we were going to visit my brother but she didn't answer me.
A few days after, We were all dressed in black.
It was raining and I sat with my cousins, in what looked like a church. Mom carried me to a box in the middle and I saw my big brother inside. He seemed like he was sleeping, and my Mom began to sob. Dad told me to say good bye to my brother, but I didn't know why.
I asked if I could go back to my seat and I watched all the grown ups cry.
I didn't understand much at that time, but I knew that it was the last time I'd be able to see my big brother.
He wasn't coming home anymore.
