I ran. Fast. Out of breath. Lungs bursting. Legs hitting the earth. I thudded up the path, around the corner, right up the stairs and reached the door. I flung it open and .....
Great Scott! What had I done! Every soul every word from my mouth so solely exchanged for what fame? I had sold out? This couldn't be happening so much work just down the drain so many painstaking sleepless nights slogging it out in some tiny hell hole all overhsadowed by my little mistake. How could one simple stroke of luck have entirely wiped out all of my work.
I back tracked gripping firmly the arm of my old torn chair, this was where it began, right here on this chair, in this room, where the idea first struck me. Maybe someone over heard, maybe my apartment's bugged, maybe someone sold out, could it be Adi? or Jenn? Who could have cracked under pressure... No No!!! It couldn't be them, they re not that weak. They know the magnitude of this.
I rummaged through the room as the tv replayed my horror over and over again in the background, how could have someone have leaked this and given me the credit too. Who was SO stupid or wait. Maybe its someone who's out to get me, theyre trying to set me up, lead my enemies onto my trail. Wait I'm 23 I don't have any arch Nemesis out to get me? Then who , who could have even understood this definitely not anyone around they dont understand the inner workings or the chemistry.
As i began to unclutter my mind I grabbed on to an once full bottle of vodka thinking that would help. When my mortal attempt to flee from my predicament was met with a sharp jab of reality. The cops had made sense of where I was hiding. It was over. I was done for.
I fired the old gas oven and decided to burn the remains, someone wanted me alive they wanted this information and I was doing squat to protect it. My instinct was of course eat the main files as the oven wouldn't fire. And as I tore into the first page there it went a sharp right in my chest. Someone zapped me 3mA of current surging through my body.
I remember the smell of bacon and eggs someone had fried the eggs in the same pan I know that, cos the eggs smelt baconey and more robust. "Whaat!! where am?" Ive had this blindfold on for a day no food water and now eggs? this is messed up. the blindfold came off and a bright light shone only a figure stood in front of me.. Who was she Idont know, she spoke " what are you hiding" and just then I gave in and spilled the beans "I discovered the cure for world hunger" and then the light went off and she lowered the bat she hid behind her. To protect her, she was afraid and then I remembered what happened my neighbor had got to me before the cops or whoever they were and taken me refuge. As my lights grew accustomed to the room I saw a once familiar table lamp and some unused coffee cups. And then I saw her and that kids is the story of How I met your Mother. :)
