"Three, two, one..." she counted the seconds left for her nail polish to dry. She stared at the now shiny black nails and realized her whole life, as her nails, was just a shiny cover up of the truth. Again, seconds passed as she blankly stared into the void. 
 Suddenly she couldn't see all her favourite rock band posters and all the messiness in her room disappeared. For a minute she thought the power went down, but if it did then why couldn't she see light coming from the window? Why was everything pitch black? And as she assumes she just passed out from all the running she did that morning, she wakes up in the bottom of a river, unable to breath. She tries to swim up to the surface, but something is pulling her back into the depths of the cold water. She looks down and two black chains are rapped around both her ankles that keep her far from the surface. There's blood everywhere, but it's not hers. Lastly, the water starts boiling and she hears a loud scream, but again, it wasn't her... "one, two, three..." these were the words whispered to her before everything vanishes and it's pitch black once again. 
      Welcome to my story...
