I sit down in one of the seats waiting for the others to arrive. We had a few more practice dates until our yearly show, and I was excited to see what the others prepared. As more people trickled in, I noticed someone new. We got new members sometimes, but I don’t think I saw …
I open my eyes to darkness.I feel cold concrete on every piece of exposed skin.Where am I? I attempt to move my legs, but they are numb.I stretch my arms out trying to find something, anything to grasp hold of, but I find nothing.
