    I was trying to read the map. It was difficult to figure out where it would lead me to especially because of the strange markings. Then it hit me, I have to go work. Immediately I got dressed and raced to work in my car. Once I arrived to the office, everything was closed. I felt so stupid, it was Saturday. But, of course, everything happens for a reason.

    The whole area around me seemed eerily quiet. That was strange for the time of day. It didn't seem like if there was any soul for miles apart. Suddenly, I noticed a woman dressed in black. Funny, this was the second time i've seen a woman dressed in black today. I walked closer and closer to her. When I saw her I stopped dead in my tracks.

    It was the same woman that I saw earlier. To make sure I looked at her face and once again she had empty eye sockets. She wasn't just standing there quiet though. She mumbled and whispered things that I could barely hear. I wanted to run but suddenly I felt paralyzed. At that moment, I knew I was fucked and there was no way out of this. She inched towards me until she was so close that I could see exactly how she looked.

     She was young, but she looked dirty and her black dress was torn. She held a pocketknife drenched in blood and her crooked smile revealed sharp teeth. I could hear her chanting through a soft voice. "Find me. Find me. Find me." Suddenly she screeched in an almost diabolical voice "FINNNNNNDDD MEEEEE!" Before I could even react I fell into a bottomless pit and I was alone.

     I woke up and didn't recognize anything around me. I was in a world with no sky and a city of gold. Underneath me i saw my house burning and in front of me there was a fire that seemed to be burning forever. In the middle of the flame I saw her and realized there was no going back now. I was knee deep in this shit and there was no getting out now.
