I didn't know why or how this man expected me to find this thing. It was impossible. I had to find some way though or I was dead. Literally.
The minute he said,"Step forward, Ray, and accept your future." I knew something was up.
The man making me find this thing called himself "The One." I didn't know what he meant, but I didn't really even want to.
The One said I had to find him his long-lost dead sister, Claudia. I asked how I supposed to find and return him his dead sister, but all he said was find a way myself.
I slammed my head against my door, cursing.
How would I find a dead person?! I decided my only hope was a cemetery.
I called up my buddy, Rodriguez, or Rod for short, and asked him to hook me up with his car.
I'd failed my drivers ED test and so far I'd had Rod drive me everywhere. He said he'd be over, hopefully, because his girlfriend, Mikaela, was over.
He picked me up 10 minutes later, Mikaela in the backseat of his 1984 Honda truck. I climbed in, entered the address into his GPS and told him to step on it.
Once we got to the cemetery, I searched all the graves for one that said "Claudia."
There happened to be 13 Claudias in the cemetery and we were there for 25 minutes. I was exhausted. I checked my watch to see how much time was left. It was already 7:00 a.m., so I had plenty of time left. It hadn't even been one full day yet.
Once I finally found her, hopefully, we started to dig. And we kept digging for 2 hours.
"Are we done digging up the piece a crap dead girl, yet, Ray?" Rod asked, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"Yup. Pretty sure. Hey uh, Rod, where's your girl?" I asked him.
"Not sure." Rod said, searching the premises. "Oh no."
