Waking up hurts. There’s something in my eyes, something rough and it burns. Actually everything burns. My entire feels like it’s on fire. I open my eyes and frantically push myself upwards out of panic.

I woke up dazed and confused. "Where am I", I questioned to myself. My left shoe was missing and my shirt was torn.

I was running my usual post-work path through the woods. I was listening to music which made it hard to hear the footsteps behind me. I could feel someone behind me, so I took out my earbuds and turned around slowly. It wasn't a person. It was a unicorn.

My head was spinning. My vision was unfocused as I tried to concentrate what was ahead of me. I felt bile rise in my throat.

She was lost. She was anxious. She had never before felt so insecure about her own teaching!! Wow.

The students looked at her, but not really. It was almost like they were looking past her.

Why couldn't he just believe me? Now I'm standing alone at my own wedding and not quite sure I'm unhappy about it. He always leaves when I question the way he feels. I never knew he would not believe me after all we have been through.

I stood at the top of our narrow staircase. My hands and forearms slid against our stone-cold white walls.

She was nervous as she walked into the building. She knew what she was looking for, but had no idea where to even begin her search. She turned right and was greeted by a grand staircase. The top of the staircase was dark, and she wondered if the book could be up there.

I looked outside my bedroom window in complete sorrow. I am on day 1,478 of complete isolation, and I have never felt more alone. My door is locked and I cannot leave, and nobody will come in. I am here alone with nothing besides my thoughts, my books, and my paints. There is a meal slid under my door four times a day, mostly consisting of stew and stale bread.

I woke up from my slumber to a large vibrating wave. It was far too loud to be my phone. I thought it might be an earthquake but then it stopped all of the sudden and I saw a glowing light peering through my window like the first light of dawn.

I watched as my cat's furry little legs exited the room. She had just come in, angrily meowed at me once, and left abruptly. I stood up to follow her and see what she was trying to show me.

The day started like normal, I brushed my teeth, my hair, put my socks on, and ran out the door. This day was weird though, I had that feeling that I forgot something. I looked around and oh my god I did forget... I forgot my time travel device!

I slide down the hallway, gliding as I normally do into the kitchen. There was a time when I wasn't always this way.

The person found what they thought was a hunk of metal in their back shed. They would soon find out that this wasn't just any chunk of metal---it was a transformer.

It was a brisk fall day at SUNY Oswego, students filled the hallways, cars filled the parking lots. The campus felt more alive today than it had in a long while. My excitement filled my whole body. I couldn't wait to introduce myself to my new residents.

Robert couldn’t believe he was running late, today of all days. His dad begged him to set an alarm, and he honestly thought he did. Robert even set two because he knew how important today was to his father, even if he didn’t like Carol all that much. She always did little stuff that irked him, and everything always had to be done her way. This is a prime example. Who needs to get married at sunrise on a beach? Robert had never heard of anything so insane. Plus it’s neither of their first marriages, this is her third and his second. Couldn’t they just have a small ceremony at the town hall, had cake, and be done with it?

His hotel was only three blocks away, but he could already see the sun peeking above the horizon. Robert didn’t even want to go, much less be the ring bearer, now the whole thing would be delayed because he didn’t set his alarm. Even though he swore he set two just for the occasion.

STOP. SWITCH. READ. WRITE.

As he was running down the boardwalk, Robert noticed them jogging. He didn’t think anything of it, not until there were three of them behind him and one in front. By the time he suspected something was weird, it was already too late. They caught up to him, cut him off, and tackled him. They took his phone and tied him up, he yelled but he barely got a word out before they gagged him. The last thing he remembered before falling unconscious was the glowing red eyes the four identical men had.

When he woke up, Robert found himself in a cell. No, not exactly a cell, more like a cage. The room around him was dark and he barely had enough room to stand up without his hair brushing the wire above him. The steady drip of what he assumed was water was the sound he make out. He didn’t realize how thirsty he was until he thought about this source of water and what he would do to drink it from a puddle off the ground.

STOP. SWITCH. READ. WRITE.

Screaming didn’t help Robert, he was at it for hours before realized it was a waste of energy. Nobody could hear him. He wondered how the wedding went. If they even realized he was missing and if they just went on with the ceremony anyway. He figured Carol would insist.

That was when someone finally came. He heard the clank of their feet before he noticed anything else. Through the dark, he saw the glowing ruby eyes of his kidnapper.

“Hello,” it said in an even voice.

“Where am I? Who are you”.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough,” it replied, followed by a burst of mechanical laughter.
