Hey, I was just minding my own business! Well, actually, business was minding me. I was getting pretty damn pissed just sitting here. I mean, really, if your goona drag me outta the house at 7 AM by my shirt collar then ya better have a good reason and I better not be waiting for the reason. At least I was waiting all by myself in a pretty decked out office with air conditioning. Outside the glass walls I could hear telephones ringing and receptionists filling schedules. I decided I was bored waiting so I stuck my head out and opened my mouth to speak but the receptionist cut me off, "He'll be in shortly, Crash. Just sit inside his office and wait for him, Crash." Angry, I slammed the glass door shut. The thing about this place is that everyone treats me like I'm a child, I'm goona be 17 soon! And the way they keep saying my name, I'm not freakin' deaf! And I'm not stupid! I sat down in the chair behind the oversized desk and lit a cigarette, I began spinning in the chair. And I wanted to go faster and faster, the chair moved faster and faster. I didn't care how sick I was feeling or that if I was going to be sick I would be puking up the best pancake ever. The spinning made me feel like it was taking me somewhere else, I wanted to go somewhere else. I didn't care where, I just wanted to disappear from here. From this place of loud sounds, gun shots, adults that think they're better than you, my foster parents, this world of hurt. They say when you spin really fast you're supposed to pay special attention to this one spot so you don't lose your focus and balance. But there wasn't anything for me to focus on (literally and emotionally), I gave each and every blur my attention, which made me sicker. I planted my feet on the scratchy carpet and while my body stopped, my brain still kept on spinning. I staggered over to the aquarium and sat on the floor so my head was level to watch the fish swimming around. They were bright colors, not the kind you would find around here. They bumped into the glass and swam through the fake plants in the tank. I was mesmerized by the bright colors. Carefully, with my head still spinning, I stood up and peered over the top of the tank. I wondered why the water was moving the same that it does at the beach (not like I would know, other than having seen it in the movies), it had no where to go other than the small glass tank. I turned my head to the wall which was made of glass. I started thinking that I was inside a fish tank. The chairs morphed into giant fish, the couch and desk became great white sharks circling me. I was getting scared, water was rising from the floor and rising higher and higher! Over my knees, over my torso, over my neck, I'm in over my head! The fish bumped into my thighs, the water was getting murky, soon my head was hitting the ceiling. I was gasping for my last breaths, and when I took them I started sinking. I was sitting on the bottom of the tank, I made my way to the glass and started banging on it screaming for help! It sounded more like 'Eeeeelppp Eeeee!' The darkness took over, I turned back around, not sure of what was out there. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a fin swim by. I was running out of breath, I kicked my way to the ceiling, there was no air, my brown hair was floating around me, getting in my eyes. Something grabbed my ankle and dragged me down,

                                                                                                     Down,

                                                                                                                                      Down.

     When I opened my eyes a shark was coming at me full speed from the depths of this prison. And then my vision started spinning. It was like I was back on that chair again. It was getting closer but everything was spinning faster and faster. I had lost all of my breath, I sucked water into my lungs. I was drowning. I heard these lyrics as if my head were between two speakers:
