THE LUCID INTERACTIVE MIND PROJECT // LIMP

where do we go now?

-HAGERSTOWN, MD-

            "What the fuck?! Do you know where you're fucking going?" asked Ophelia as she watched the redhead, well not really a redhead as her hair was dyed to be a fire engine red, drive.

            "I'm trying to save our asses from being put back in there, and here you are shitting on me!" replied Jerrica as she roughly jerked the Chevrolet 2014 Silverado 1500 on the road to the side.

            "You two should consider calming down so our asses doesn't end up back in that medical facility," said Tatum to the two girls rolling her eyes.

            "What she said!" agreed Michael unsure of what to think. He hoped that they wouldn't argue since the four of them did manage to escape the project back in Inwood, "Maybe if we're lucky, we can find a better car or truck wherever the hell we are in Maryland, we can abandon this junk. As we find more and more cars left behind from the apocalypse, we could be in peace away from this shit in Canada. If you two don't stop arguing at that rate, then we'd probably be forced back to Inwood, and none of us would fucking enjoy that."

            "I think we're in Hagerstown. Does anyone want me to try to get some snacks and stuff?" offered Tatum as she unbuckled her seatbelt upon seeing a 7/11.

            "You do that. I'll try to park," said Jerrica as she pulled up to the convenience store and put the truck on park.

            Once the truck was parked, Tatum opened the car door and rushed into the store which had no clerk in it meaning that it had been abandoned due to something yet the aisles were recently stocked with the security cameras out of use. She just knew that she couldn't miss out on the opportunity, so she grabbed a case of water bottles and took it into the truck only to rush back in and grab a shit load of snacks ranging some Nerds Rope to Cheetos. Hoping that it'd be enough, Tatum went into the truck and put the snacks she had gotten on top of the case of water bottles and buckled her seatbelt giving Jerrica the thumbs up to resume driving.

            "I swear if these things are fucking poisoned," murmured Ophelia grabbing a bag of potato chips from the back seat area of the truck as Jerrica began backing up the truck from the 7/11 only to quickly speed across the road.

            "Dude, the speed limit is 65, and you're doing like 80!" Michael screamed.

            "There isn't any police around, so let me follow my instincts!" screamed back Jerrica as she decided to go to an exit that'd take them to Pennsylvania.

            "Sometimes I wonder why we chose you to drive the vehicle. After the next stop, Ophelia's gonna fucking drive whether ya like it or not."

            "What fucking ever. Our asses are in danger and the two of you are still shitting on me! It shoudn't have to be this fucking way!"

            "Calm down, girl! What out for the," chimed in Tatum only for the truck to crash into the pole before she even got to say the word, "..pole."

            Once the airbags had died down, Ophelia and Jerrica got out of the truck after Tatum and Michael did to look at the damage.

            "Told you that you shouldn't be driving, fucknut!" Ophelia complained once again to Jerrica.

            "That was my ear! You guys fucking distracted me! What are we supposed to do now?" wondered Jerrica as she tucked her fiery red hair behind her ear in curiosity upon noticing a clearly aged and not-so-much-abandoned mansion sitting on top of a hill, "Do you guys want to go in it and spend the night there? It'll be the closest we'll have to shelter since I ended up crashing our only mode of transportation."

            "We might as well until we can find a way to get all the way up there without all our legs getting tired," sighed Tatum unsure of what to make of the sudden situation they had gotten trapped in.

            They all got a bag for each of them to carry and began filling them up with water bottles and snacks to leave the vehicle there. Ophelia then lead them up the hill seeing a large gate automatically open and they stepped into the building and ignored all of the fog that was trailing all around them to find a huge area with a checkerboard floor and a staircase filled with cobwebs.

            "Well, this place is giving me the fucking creeps," Tatum commented looking around, "I swear if the Scream franchise comes to life, I'm going to Nopeville on the Fuck That Train."

            After a few hours are arguing where they were going to sleep at in the mansion without having whoever possibly owns the creepy mansion hear them, they slept on the floor they first stepped on without any blankets or pillows hoping the next day would be much better than their nightly escape.
