The darkness loomed over me, the few remaining stars twinkled sporadically, as if the void was extinguishing them. I said goodbye to my friends at the comic book store, my usual Thursday night stop. I grabbed my bike and started pedaling, energizing myself for the arduous journey home. Before long I entered the labyrinthine development aptly named “Fireside”. I pedaled at a carefree pace, after all I had done this route at least once a week. On top of that, York, Penn., is the most boring city ever... what could possibly happen? I continued pedaling nonchalantly, until suddenly a harsh voice shouted: "Hey you!... Come here!" "I don't know. Don't talk to strangers." I replied, sarcasm dripping from my lips.

A sign of relief escaped my lips. I was homeless, until I noticed the bushes heading towards me at an alarming speed. I slammed on the brakes... too late. The bike slipped into the foliage, my body was attacked from all sides by the evil plant. Darkness washed over me briefly as my limbs did their work. I finally broke through the wall of thorns and entered the nearby courtyard. I stood there for a few minutes, the cold ground soothing the pain that resonated throughout my body as the blood flowed profusely..
