"Alright. You said your name was Envelope? L-Like this envelope right here," Matt asked me. I nodded. He and his friend Bryan were still inspecting me. I still didn't trust them, so I would take any chance I got to run away. "You said that watch on your arm randomly appeared as soon as you got here," Matt asked me again. I nodded for a second time. I looked around me while Matt whispered about me to Bryan, as I looked for a way out. I found it. "The front door! Of course! Why didn't I think of that earlier," I thought to myself. "Alright, Envelope, me and Matt are going to go into a room and totally not talk about you," Bryan said to me as he walked away with Matt. I scoffed. I turned and looked at the front door and jumped for it. I landed on my feet, but one of the twisted as I hit the ground, causing me to not be able to walk again. I crawled toward the front door and opened it. Bryan and Matt came out of their room. They saw me at the front door and ran for me. I used the handle on the door to stand myself up and escape. I saw the stairs going up to higher rooms in the apartment. I limped up them as the two men chased me. I slowly got to the roof of the apartment and took in the sights. I walked over to the edge of the roof and saw Matt and Bryan gaining on me. I looked around for a way of fast transportation and saw some sort of tube. "This might be a trash tube, but I have to escape," I yelled as I jumped in. "Where did she go," Matt asked. Bryan stomped his foot on the ground. "She got away," Bryan said, defeated. I was sliding down the tube when I landed in something. "Well, that confirms my suspicions as true," I said as I tried to step my way out of it. It was a trash tube as I had just landed in a dumpster. I waddled my way out and looked at the big city that was before me. I was about to step out into the street when a car passed by lightning fast. I jumped back and fell over on my back. I got up, holding my head when I looked at my mysterious watch. It said I had 20 hours left. I crossed the street and walked out, looking for something that would lead me back to my home. Then I realized I was extremely hungry. It had been about 6 hours since I had last eaten. I walked around a bit as people tried not to notice me. I found something that said Subway. I walked in, walked out, and then looked in my pockets. I peeked back in the window as I inspected the menu. I had exactly $6.03. I walked in as the whole store stared at me. I started to sweat as I walked toward the cashier. I wasn't tall enough to see the cashier, so I grabbed a chair and pushed it to the register so I could see them. They were shocked and looked around as if they were trying to escape the situation. They sighed and asked what I would order. "I'll get a 6-inch Oven Roasted Chicken sub," I said. They rang up the meal. "That'll be $5.69," the cashier said as I gave them my money. I walked out of the restaurant with my sub and ate it as I walked around some more. I saw one building that looked out of place. I walked in. It was extremely dark and I held my hands in front of me as I panicked and searched for a light switch. I found one. Before I flipped it, I heard someone. "I've been expecting you," the mystery voice said. I flipped the switch up and saw the person. They were in a cloak and they flipped the cloak off. I saw who it was. I gasped. "Oh my god! How did you get here," I asked. She laughed. I was shocked.
