My eyes flutter open, I stare at a black abyss above me. I glance around to see if I notice anything somewhat familiar.I slowly stand up and again my footing. I look around at this mysterious yet ominous place that had a certain vibe to it.
I looked down at my outfit then touch my head where a flower crown sat.
My head feels fuzzy, I can't remember much of anything. I can't temper what I did last or how I even ended up here.
I walk around to see if I can find anything or anyone that can help me out.
I walk towards a red metal box that had a envelop with my name on it with a switchblade beside it.
I grab the envelope then reach for the switchblade and pull out the blade. I use the blade to open the envelope and pull out the content that's inside.
It's a note and a ticket. I read the note closely. "Love can leave you empty, love can make you whole. Love can make or break you. Love is in your soul."
I furrowed my eyebrows at the note then turn my attention to the red ticket before a sound goes off cause me to jump slightly and frantically look around.
Music blasts out of a speaker cause my to cover my ears but the music still leaks through and into my ears.
