After she was long gone, I hovered over a table containing food, including a bowl of red liquid, and resting my palms heavily on the glass surface, utter fury radiating out the very pores in my skin, I screamed. It was the kind of scream that people would usually do in the comfort of their own privacy, possibly in their bedroom, preferably into a pillow. However, I had no bedroom, nor a pillow, or any privacy, so naturally, this socially unacceptable notion rewarded me with a series of judgemental looks.
723Please respect copyright.PENANADK5DhToFaj
"What?" I snapped. "You never heard anyone scream before?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAyY9TSCgKoH
In turn, they gave me yet more judgement looks.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAda4n9lGT2g
By the time I got back into the house, I was dizzy, fazed, and pretty sure my left ear stopped functioning.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAsxt7WeoTrb
"Alright people! The DJ shouted from inside the house, startling the heaven out of me. Why were the speakers so loud? Or was it his voice that was just a little fortissimo? Hey, I didn't know I spoke Italian!
723Please respect copyright.PENANALWba1lzPFX
"For these next wild minutes, we're going to it back a few decaaaades!" the DJ shouted once again, ecclesiastically pointing his thumb backwards. "Here's some Thriller for all you monsters out there!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA5EEDII86kf
The thing I knew, Michael Jackson's 80's classic was blaring in my one working ear.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYni9bCU7LW
Maybe Gemma should have been in the music video. She wouldn't have even needed any makeup. I should have pounced on her the moment she refused the cure! That would have been the Emerald way of doing things.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAIuUwfLLCL4
I should go and ask her again, I thought through unfamiliar dizziness. It was a strange kind of dizzy. It was weightlifting. Nice.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkohZ7TpwZl
But the witch wouldn't listen to me! And, where the hell am I supposed to find her in this rather bright and mystical house? And even if I did, how will I get her attention?
723Please respect copyright.PENANAOIeGQPBpt7
Just then, the luminous glow of the colluded lights from the DJ stand, grasped my attention and a pretty lightbulb lit up in my head.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHHeg7baE
I stepped up – actually, that was a stumble – onto the platform. "You are doing a fantastic job, Mr DJ!" The 's' in fantastic didn't come out right.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAD7V0QYCldv
He nodded at me, one hand working busily over the switches and things, and another over the pair of bright pink headphones that clung onto his neck. Despite being indoors and nighttime, he wore sunglasses. It puzzled me why one must work in such a complex manner when all they were doing was playing music and switching them on an occasional basis. Surely, that can be done on an iPod shuffle? And you don't even need to switch the song yourself.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA1td57nKqsM
"Hey!" I yelled over the blasting music. "Do you m-mind showing me what these buttons do?" A stutter?
723Please respect copyright.PENANAMqf6sdX9Jd
"Sure, hold on," he replied, putting the headphones done. "See these knobs, here? They are the EQ, they control the frequency—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAhpn9T2EYFQ
"Okay cool, can I burrow this for a sec?" I interrupted, my hands flying to the mic.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pvwc1lgH8
"Wait, what—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAXo5W0SwcsA
"Thanks! And turn the volume down for the music with your EQ thingy."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAc0FWzwlVF3
He (understandably) hesitated, but complied and music played a diminuendo, eventually becoming so quiet, the crowd stopped dancing and looked my way, booing. My vision blurred for a split second, but it was probably the tiredness of the past couple of weeks, so I brushed it off, bringing the mic to my mouth, and spoke— screamed:
723Please respect copyright.PENANAzD8UcQttJ5
"What's up, what's up, you beautiful people!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAH1jARtcYNx
This was fun!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAMy6muJR1pG
The crowd cheered in response. They looked like insects from up here, but that may have had something to do with my blurred vision.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAfYwxFp0pzL
"You guys are amazing dancers! A room full of Michael Jacksons, every single one of you." They cheered again. Psshhht! As if I had really thought that!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAX53ZxHyEuO
"How-however, I'm n-not exactly looking for Michael Jackson," I continued. "I'm looking for a Gemma Reynolds. Gem-a Rey-nold-sssssss. So, yeah, shout out to my number one hater, Gemmy! Mwah." I blew a kiss to my invisible Gemma, and the crowd cheered again. What a bunch of zombies! Even I didn't understand what I was saying!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAMnXCrqzwKS
"S-so I am up here, facing my non-existent stage fright, because Gemma isn't giving me something, that, rightfully, she should. Yeah." I tasted my mouth; it tasted bitter. "Um, your music will come back on when I see Gemma. Now, in the meantime, I'm going to give to you guys a sad background story: Gemmy's daddy at Reynolds Corporation and my parents at the Front—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAllwmFLcPKs
"202!" Someone yanked me off the platform.
723Please respect copyright.PENANASlUFF5aqwr
I stumbled, and almost fell to my tragic death!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAnMlPbQWhWv
"What the hell are you doing?" the voice demanded.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZZCwtNdrPC
I blinked. Nope, still blurry. I suspected it was Gemma, seeing as I nearly died a moment ago, and who would want to kill me more than her, right? But, this person's deep, husky and even a little bit sexy sounding voice in my right ear, convinced me otherwise.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcjOO7jaM9s
"Um... eservest?" Of course! He wanted to kill me too. Wait, wasn't I forgetting something about him?
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6MzjZz36jv
The music was back on, indicating that the DJ went back to his mojo.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQU8wM4Ryyl
"Go away!" I feebly pushed at Everest, and inevitably failed. "I'm doing s-something important, and you're spoiling it!" I complained.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAtGnTtynf6b
"What the–" bad word "–was that? Do you want to get yourself killed?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAh0gxdzkP12
"You always say that! You were going to kill me just now!" What a hypocrite!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAdvvnzZWDpj
"202..." That sounded like a warning, which I was sure to ignore.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcYuGd6DrkX
"Relax—" I walked closer to him, and he took an instinctive step back; I stopped. "Why are you running?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANALXq1T8GcMt
"I'm not...running," he growled.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA3jM7F61vFA
"Alright, then," I took a step forward. "As I was saying–what was I saying?" I thought hard. "Aha! You need to relax, nobody even knows me here. They're just kids! Kids don't watch the news." I laughed, although there was nothing really funny to laugh about, and I was practically a kid myself. "And what are they gonna kill me with? Their heels?" I giggled.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAwxwo9GTnMK
His eyes narrowed a fraction of a nanometer almost suspiciously. "Why are you acting like this?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAirDw7neePw
"Like what?" I asked.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkl16zIlESw
"Irresponsible, stupid."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJe3BLltxPP
"You mean, like the way you acted when you kissed me?" That was what I was forgetting!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAa3wzRjEsIq
Every muscle in his face relaxed for a moment, and then contracted just as fast, as he said, "find Gemma, or get out of here."
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9gN5sOtlPt
I smiled. "Aha! Then, it should be you doing the getting out, for I have already found her."
723Please respect copyright.PENANApvFLBZgUHw
His face contained no emotion, but he was shocked, I just knew he was! "You have?" It was somewhere between a statement and an unconvinced question. "When?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAxQJ1PtiqJD
I walked off into a hallway. "Wouldn't you want to know."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlcz0i7IqZx
He followed. It was either that or my shadow came to life. "202."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAuFLoPZi7hv
Shadows don't speak!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAxsthdJIOHU
I was dizzy again. But, a good sort of dizzy. I wasn't used to this strange feeling. It felt like the first time Everest injected me with that drug. Except, this made me happy. Which was mind-boggling, because I was going die! Yay! Wait. No! Right?
723Please respect copyright.PENANAW3UfykLtjm
I still had my suspicions for this strange sense of joviality, but there was no time to question boring logic like this – what was logic, anyway, sometimes I used big words that I didn't know the meaning of. Hold on, logic wasn't even a big word! What was I saying – or rather thinking? Oh yes – there was no time to think of logic when there were bigger questions to be answered, such as: why were the colours of these rather excited people's clothes constantly changing? Eccentric! Or why did my legs seem to move like a sleepy ballerina? Oh, I know! A sleep-walking ballerina with two left feet! Those were so in right now!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAXl20kipOA1
So, gliding like the passionate, sleep-walking, ballerina I was born to be, I slowly made my way through the hallway. Or perhaps it was Disneyland; hard to tell.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA39yVWmzHrT
Was I high? Well yes, my heels were. They must have been the reason I found difficulty in doing something as simple as walking. Wait just a second! I wasn't even wearing heels; malicious things those were. One wrong move and you could bet your bottom penny that you'd die to death!
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0enIvutDkD
But, I did like the look of those incredible beige walls, swirling about here and there, so magical! Marvelled by the sight of those mysterious creations, I struggled towards it. Wait, struggled? No, I strutted towards it. I think.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAaMlthvPX9e
And, it was all fun and games until some idiot collided into me.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYAkK6xgeHw
"Ompf!" I had to look up, for the idiot I collided into was quite tall, and realised it wasn't any old idiot. I knew this idiot! It was E-Eve-Evest? No. Not that one. Everest! Huh, he was tall like the Everest!
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6ejv4qGGR
"Eservest!" I slurred for some peculiar reason. "I forgot you were with me. Look at these magical walls!" Oh, he was bound to be impressed by those bad boys.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAAhTuDKC3Au
Unfortunately, his steel face didn't contort an inch.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAtFfFygEl1n
The only expression that came out of him was the suspicious piecing of his eyes into my own. But, I was sure he was astounded by those spinning walls...in his mind. He was just concealing it.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA73pEiJYbYo
"What?" he asked.
723Please respect copyright.PENANATIw0eYu08s
It wasn't even a 'what?' what. It was a 'what.' what.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJNPsVSwfDk
"What?" I replied, perplexed.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQFxbSqBPyA
His eyes narrowed, juuuust a weeny bit. "Did you speak to Gemma Reynolds or not?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAr75eP4EEYb
"Hmm, g-gamma rays," Tapping my index finger against my chin, I thought hard. "No, n-not really, I wish not be exposed to radiation and go klchh-qk-chow, and die, why would you ask such—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAF1OuQQx0Hl
"Gemma Reynolds, not gamma rays," he growled.
723Please respect copyright.PENANABu5Qfc0qbl
"Oh! See, you got me worried there for a second, Eservest..." Looking at Everest whilst speaking to him really was a distraction. I mean, he was so, what's the word? Mean? No – I mean yes, but not now. Ridiculous? No not that one. Rather... pretty. Wrong adjective! Jerk? No, that was a verb. Attractive? No... I mean yes! Yes! That's the word! Attractive...
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlYPNROAe4J
"So, did you speak to Gemma or not?" he asked, clearly impatient.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAjrFWiP5Yfh
But then again those walls were also pretty attractive, I'd say.
723Please respect copyright.PENANARFoAuo32YH
My sleep-walking ballerina feet brought me closer to him. "Let's not talk about her, right now." I whispered, my stupid hand reaching out to touch his face. How strange, I didn't remember giving it such an absurd command.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0TtVmbtoKl
He stopped it. "Are you drunk?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKnQn75VV
"Huh! Drunk? Drunk?! What is drunk?" Damn, I didn't know I was this good at acting.
723Please respect copyright.PENANANTvfVtX8cL
"Did you consume any alcohol?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJU8abIGwmA
"Al-alcolol? No! Director never let me near that s-stuff, back at the Front."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAHSaO2mjzTl
"But you were let near it here." His eyes bored into mine, so blue like something so... blue and... pretty. No, I was totally kidding; his eyes were never really blue, in fact they were always almost black with just the thinnest blue ring around them, only about a shade lighter.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAP1oYjnvZhb
"So?! What are you accusing me of?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAF1yD1rJ8Ml
"So. Tell me, 202. Did you, or did you not, drink alcohol?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9SyUQNOjY3
"Woah! How dare you? My name is Emerald!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAPQHF2QLdNC
"That's besides the point."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAA012DtGOHE
"Can you let go of my hand now?" I requested, ignoring his scolding.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA4qAlUzk5N4
One second he stared at my hand, the next, it was dropped like a hot coal. Hmm, I wished I hadn't asked him to do that. Now my hand was cold. His hands were ironically very warm for someone so cold. However, now that he had let go of my hand, I could try touching him again. Hey, why didn't I just use my other hand? So stupid! Poor righty was always getting left out.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlMotKEU3J8
"...wasting time," Interesting, turned out, he was speaking. "Are you listening to me?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAPzQ3xbP3se
"Y-yea-yeah-yeah, s-something this, some-t-thing that, wasting time, blah blah whateverest, am I right?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcWQpXsCCIi
"No."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAGW0XGgc3EM
"Oh."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAoBPNcliMVQ
"I'll ask you one more time. What did Gemma say?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAWbEJZJC5j6
I scratched my head. What did she say? "Oh, it was important!" I exclaimed. "I need to find her and make her change her mind!" Although, I wasn't even sure what needed changing.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ3cJj99VQ
Everest stopped me. "Answer the question."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAuJn0VwlA9Y
"Ummm..." I thought hard. It was useless. "I forgot?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANARdIURRKcsq
"You did drink alcohol!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAzxYm5Ks4AG
"No, I did not! Hope my heart and cross to die! I only drank water since I got here!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAqBx5KGlWCM
"What water?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZqHJ2yLCi
"I dunno, a kind fellow offered it to me in a pretty red cup."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAGKLYIgRfAD
"So, you're drunk."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAnP11p6qW44
"What? How did you know?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAnD5evhSksB
"Because you're acting like a maniac," he meanly said, leaning close. "And, word of advice: at a party, don't accept anything given to you in red cups."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAy3G5sp4zNB
"I meaaan, it was more of a Simpson—I mean, crimson colour—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAv9sNDAm64p
"No," quick as lightning, he grabbed my shoulders. It was hot. "I don't think you get it. You are going to die if that cure is not found. You cannot afford to be like this."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAl2khJFxckl
"I didn't mean to drink alco-alcohol! Honest! It smelled like cherries, you know, the ones that are pinkish and grow on trees... anyway, by the time I spat it out onto the guy's face—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZwD2wo3IqC
"You did what?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAzwWjjRuONM
"I sprayed the bastard with my saliva, keep up. Anyway, by then, I, um... some of the drink was already half way down my esophagus."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAaYU7pZeya4
He frowned a bit. "Why didn't you come and get me?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAqa80yIanAW
"I tried! But that was when I saw Gemma!" I told him, rather excitedly. "And even if I did get you, what would you have done? You would have just shouted at me, am I right, or am I right?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANALehndHb96d
"I don't shout," he responded.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvMOD3ILZzO
"Whatever! You would have scolded me, like you're doing right now. And I don't have time for all your negativity. All the uses of this world seem weary, flat, stale and unprofitable, as it is already!" I said, quoting Hamlet.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA81ctyylYMl
Something about the way his fingers flexed, hinted that he was restraining them from strangling me. Or, maybe—
723Please respect copyright.PENANASucXp0wGFb
"Do you at least remember where Gemma was?" Everest questioned.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA9IBKotw5e7
"Yes," I said solemnly.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAumTLnzgFDy
He waited a moment.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAfQJESytnh2
"Well?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvShBhuy0Mo
"But, I won't tell you," I teased giving him a wink.
723Please respect copyright.PENANArI1EqTgzYt
"This is not fu—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAK4BE5DAgm1
"Ha! It's not fun being on the other side, is it?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0mjghdmeNa
"What?" he practically growled.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAjpWvCfkbgp
"Oh, don't act foulish—foolish! You made me suffer in that forest with a gazillion billion million pigllion jigly... what was I saying? Oh yes... unanswered questions. You made my heart bleed. Actually, technically, the heart always bleeds. Anyway, it's fit and fun—fair that you suffer, as I did."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAcqSmEyLXfR
"202, this is not the time to be playing games."
723Please respect copyright.PENANANmyyrmvbbA
"Oh, I don't know Eservest—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAx6pAJUtXag
"You don't remember what she said, do you?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAImtXqRRMGQ
Get out of my head, you!
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6bUCGpVgz4
I put my hand over my mouth and let out a dramatic gasp. "I swear, it's like you're omniscient! Hey, Eservest—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANArG9lbeDJxU
"Everest."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAD9zTYohCRM
"Yes, S-sir." I saluted him because there was no need to not be disrespectful at a time like this.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAtwxSOsX3Is
He waited. I did nothing.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAMLF7A8ug84
"You were saying?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAUA9DJOn7fJ
"Huh? Oh, yes. Eservest, I am a tad bit curry–curious. Oh that's funny, 'curious' has a 'cure' in it! Good huh?" I laughed, smacking his arm.
723Please respect copyright.PENANArzQ1KHPuz2
"Will you just get on with it?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYyzn223j1U
"Of course! Or rather on course, because you said 'get on' so... I don't want to get off..." my sentence faded away as soon as I saw the homicidal expression on his face. And to think I thought he was beautiful!
723Please respect copyright.PENANA2T5Tc57mSw
"As I was saying, I was thoughting—thinking; what are going to do after we, um, get Gemma."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAGBGFdKw28E
His initial silence probably meant he was contemplating my question before he said, "we will talk about this when you are not drunk."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAYwqBrrF13J
"But, the whole drunk thing isn't even my fault! I didn't know! Some guy gave it to me! I was dehydrated! I didn't know what I was drinking!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAvvE8gfPqna
"Didn't you taste it? Or at least, smell the alcohol?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAS61zNBH9kZ
I leaned against the wall, all too tired to talk... or even breathe! "It smelled and tasted like cherries," I kindly explained "Like pretty cherries, you know, kind of like those pinkish ones that grow on trees..."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAltXD0uplNu
"I don't know why I'm arguing with a drunken person," I heard him mutter under his breath.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0LWKny3B8c
"So, are we going to look for Gemma, or what?" I asked.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAtoY4d3CFje
"No. Not now. You need to get sober, first."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAbc9jQ4OmmS
"Why?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkFOl6pII9O
"Because, you are the one who's going to talk to her."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAmILaPlx9PV
"But, I already did!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkSAkVTC2ML
"Yes, but you went and got yourself drunk, and now you don't remember anything she said!" he snapped, irritably.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAWnuANg1IB4
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I've never been near that evil stuff! You have to understand, bro. Director never ever let me—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAPyaKekQ82J
"I know," his low voice interrupted.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAlCAGIO2e8F
I lifted my head, all bamboozled. "You do?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAFp8R4JSGb0
He nodded.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAATAsLE7Dn7
I smiled. "He forbid you from touching alcohol, too, didn't he?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAHtrtQHtiQ9
"Maybe," he replied, shortly. Cute.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAjD30jaffEy
"Hey, Eservest?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAdOITTMAqhc
"Hm?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAkaOXXwMZA0
"Did you know that there is no growth limit for trees? Their growth is only inhibited by physics, because the water can't travel that high up their capillaries, due to gravity." I'd always wanted to tell him that!
723Please respect copyright.PENANALNrR8WnqKF
"Yes," he said.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAIBsYyl6vyj
"Huh?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAKmTzHVuSgK
"I knew that."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAW1HlnHgr0f
"Oh." So smart. So— "So, how does one get sober?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAQSfm5xWmHk
He shrugged. "You need to sleep it off."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAwQrhmNL80Z
"Great! There are tons of bedrooms in here. Let's go upstairs!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAZwfGyI853x
"Wait, no." He grabbed my wrist. "You are not sleeping in a frat house."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAEWT1XvzVXU
"Oh, yeah. Those are for guys. Let's go to a soro— sonority!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANASzCivpLfrO
"202!" He pulled me back, as if I were some puppy on a leash – preferably a Yorkshire Terrier. "We're leaving."
723Please respect copyright.PENANAd3rFsUBCNP
"We are? But we need to navigate—negotiate with Gemma!"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAsdeXqBkbNZ
"Yeah, I think we're past that now. You need to sleep the intoxication off. Then, if we're lucky, you'll remember what she told you."
723Please respect copyright.PENANA8LtRnRmm9d
"Are we going to a sorority, then?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANATpcSDychhy
"No." He didn't even bother to elaborate. "Can you walk?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAe02AFGXk8U
A grin spread across my face. "Are you going to carry me if I say 'no'?"
723Please respect copyright.PENANAq18QPhHVqG
His face remained stone cold.
723Please respect copyright.PENANA0NhTD3HuEA
"Fine! Yes, I can walk," I groaned. "Where are we going, anyway? And, how are we going to get anywhere without a ride? Are we going to fly on that unicorn—"
723Please respect copyright.PENANA6UucmU028G
"I'll get a cab. And then we'll stay in a hotel nearby. Okay?" His eyes moved between mine.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJjABTsW3gd
I shrugged. "M'kay."
723Please respect copyright.PENANA1igW8ywYeh
Ten – or maybe it was a hundred – minutes later, we were waiting for the wretched cab to arrive. Most of whatever happened was a blur of yellow, concrete, lampposts and then a huge building.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAJJXRtxKtWo
"Cool!" I yawned, gazing up at it.
723Please respect copyright.PENANAldMVtmnmsx
Before long, I was laying on a cloud-like single bed, and fell into pretty slumber like sleeping beauty, or someone like that.
Author's note:
Hope you enjoyed drunk Emerald :)
