'This was a bad idea' I think to myself as I walk down the quiet streets of unknown boulevard. It was a cold damp night and I could hear the sound of thunder far away, it smelled like it was going to rain... now don't get me wrong rain is my favorite type of weather, it's calming and I've always thought of it like the sky is cleansing the earth in a way... cleaning it... but with the sound of thunder coming closer I think it's going to be a thunder storm which in my case isn't very good cause it might erase any evidence there is left of Tom's disappearance, if there is any. I'm currently heading to the Brightly Hills park it's the only place I can think of that Tom might be at, when we were younger I used to walk to this park with him everyday we have a lot of good memories there. It was the one place that only at the mention of the name he looked happy. But with the storm heading in at this time of night and how dark it is I can't help but have a bad feeling about this. It's like this odd pull in the pit of my stomach that tells me this isn't a good idea. "Enough!!! You're overthinking this... just get on with it" I mutter to myself as I begin to see the outline of the park in the distance. The park itself isn't much just a few swings, some slides, and monkey bars. Just to the right of it there was a small basketball court, on the left side there was a shaded sitting area with a small pond just it, then behind all of it was surrounded by woods. The entire place was barely lit up by a few street lamps. Suddenly my phone starts vibrating and I jump I pull it out 'it's mom' I just stood there for a few seconds staring at my phone. I'm guessing my mom went to check on me and saw I wasn't in bed. She's probably just wondering where I was. I sigh and the phone stops buzzing... this weirds me out because it only buzzed 2 times usually the phone would buzz about 6 times before going to voicemail. Something was wrong here but it was to late to back away so I take a deep breath and walk into the park. As I walk through the playground my skin begins to feel like it's burning, my eyes start going in and out of focus, and my head starts to feel dizzy. I stumble over to the closest solid object and grab onto it to. I slowly realize it was the end of the monkey bars. As my vision began to clear I now saw an odd light coming from the woods. 'There's no street lights in the would' I said in my head as I began to walk towards the woods the bad feeling I had only got stronger. I wanted to turn around and run away and then I remembered my brother and I couldn't back away this might be a clue to finding him I can't run away. As I got closer to the light I began to see the outline of 6 figures walking around. When suddenly a hand goes over my mouth I'm about to scream, then I suddenly hear a shush. I try looking back to see who it is, but they just held me there in place. "Who are yo-" right then I was shushed again. This time I struggled harder against their hold trying to see who they were, when I suddenly feel an electric shock go through my body and I feel the arms release me almost immediately. Then I hear a large thump followed by a grunt. I try to turn my head to see what happened, but then a wave of exhaustion hit me and then the world went dark.
