I had to change what Ethen looked like because I couldn't find the original sorry! You can picture him like that or how he use to look!

Ethen❣️

"Attention everyone the library is going to close in 15 minutes." I release the intercom button so that it won't project my voice anymore. I look around to see a women looking in the science fiction books and two men looking at psychological books. They look quite nice, one is dressed in a suit and the other in a nice fluffy sweater.

"Hey, Ethen my son is sick, can you lock up tonight, please?"

She looked very worried, her son has been sick for a while now and not getting any better. "Ya absolutely." I look back over at the people still here to see the men talking excitedly, well only the shorter male was excited. The tall male just looked at him. The women comes up to the counters and give me a book about aliens. I took it and scanned the book then scanned her library card. She thanks me and leaves the library.

I looked over at the other two and then they decided to leave as well. Now here I am all alone in this empty library. I started to put some of the books back that people returned. It took me about 17 minutes, because I was looking at some of the books for fun. I look at the clock to see it's time to go. I go out the door and fish for my keys in my pocket to lock up. I lock the library's main door but not the back due to the cleaning crew coming. They should have been here by now.

I took no thought into it and just started walking to my car that was on the other side of the parking lot. I always park far away, it being one of the rules to the employees. It is weird because people don't come to the library like they used to. The internet killed library's, one day I bet the government will close some of them down. That won't be good for the less fortunate.

I look behind me because I hear a car. It stops only a little far away from me. The driver rolled down the window, it was the guy that was in a suit! In the library a little while ago. "Um, do you know how to get to Evergreen Street from here?" He shows me a map. I move closer to the car to get a better look. I point to where we are. "Ya all you need to do is go up this street then down this one."

"Thanks I really appreciate it." He smiles at me. Then the back door opens and out hops the man in the sweater he holds up a rag to my face. I hold my breath knowing what's on the rag. "Come on Doll just breathe and you'll be so much happier." I knocked the hand with the rag away and ran. I was quickly stopped once I hit a wall that wrapped its arms around me. I quickly realized that it's the taller man. The smaller male came up to me and put the rag to my face again.

I moved my head all around trying to get the rag off, but failed miserably. My lungs start to burn. I take deep breaths in due to me needing air. "Oh there we go, you're such a good b—." Then all I see is black.
