I awoke in utter pain. my eyes stung and burned in the morning light. i raised my left are to shield the piercing rays. it hurt. but why? i leaned my head to the left, looking at the blue rug i had been sleeping on. ....wait a second, blue? i forced myself to sit up and began looking around. i came to the sudden realization that i didn't live here. there was glass covering the floor of the room. i swallowed hard and carefully picked myself up off the floor. i walked over to the window, my bare feet walking onto the glass. i almost didn't notice it. i stared out the window, down onto the street. people were awake and thriving. it must be close to noon. the air chilled my bare skin and i suddenly realized that i was naked. i quickly looked for something to cover myself and found the tangles of curtain that were beside where i had laid. i wrapped them around my body and tied it as securely as i could. i wanted to leave. but before i did, i scanned the room once more. i noticed an overturned desk. something told me not to step any closer. not to go near. but i didn't listen. as i walked closer i noticed a shotgun laying near the desk. i paused. could it be..? i took one more step.... my eyes widened, a scream caught in my throat. my mouth trembled at the sight. there was a dark-haired man in a bathrobe... and his eyes were as wide and full of terror as mine were. only.... he was dead.
