It's nearing midnight and quitting time when Billy Demaris spots her on the midway, steadily approaching his game trailer. Another townie girl who doesn't know when to leave, or has lost her ride. But she stops before him and wants to shoot at his ducks, so he hands her a BB gun. She's pretty, with fine, blond hair, and somehow familiar, and he wonders if it's time to settle down - get off the road, raise a family. She shivers and he lends her his jacket, then pulls a joke on her, messing up her last round, and she smiles. They agree to meet at the horse corrals in a half hour - a typical, ordinary span of time, within which his life will change forever.

You V.S. Mafia
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living.
