Suspense

Written in response to: "Write about a character who’s finally on the verge of achieving their lifelong dream." as part of Ready, Set, Go!.

My name is Row ...( well not really) but that's what am called in the world I live in. My name is Kate Thomas in the world I was born and grew up in, I was a sweet and loving child all smiles and I cherished each and every thing I had no matter what size it was . Growing up life was difficult , it was a hustle to get good food and go to school . My father died when I was little and mother had to take up both roles to provide for the two of us and at that moment I promised to make it in life and get her anything she wanted , this is where I get unluckily.

Time flies , one moment your young and the other your a grown up making your own decisions about what you want to do with your life, I got a chance to go to university ... I studied politics and relations one tricky course if I must be honest , I had to put in so much effort and I came out the best student in my class ... my school board even helped by discussing with others professors abroad and with time just after my last year I got a job abroad . Finally my first job and I would be travelling to Korea for it ... it all felt like a dream but it was real and I was so happy

Well I got to Korea , the country is a beautiful place though I didn't get Time to tour because I was urgently needed at work as soon as possible which would be tomorrow morning and I needed some rest, the job has a good pay , comes with an apartment too at least I wouldn't struggle to find one seeing that am still new to the environment oh well I get to the apartment take a bath and go to bed . In the morning am under pressure to start with I woke up late and I didn't hear my alarm go off , now I only have ten minutes to get ready.. rushing out of the house I forgot to make my self some breakfast and grab anything I could eat damn it! I couldn't start my day with out breakfast because only then I was gona show my bosses that am not fit for the job...see when am hungry am always angry and it gets the worst out of me and I wasn't going to let that happen. On my way to the train station I find a cafe oh my prayers have been answered , i walk walk in make an order and patently wait .

You ever feel like someone's watching you but you can't see them ?well maybe am just being dramatic and theres a lot of people around and if you must know I am known for being a drama queen but this feeling I couldn't let go , my name is called my name is called out and oh great I could get going , as I am walking out of the cafe this huge man bumps into me and my coffee spills.. shoot now am screwed,the man offers to buy me coffee but I declin am late another twenty minutes here would be anacceptable so I rush out am walking and I decide to use the alley for a shortcut ( guessing) but its empty and I keep walking , as I get to the middle of the alley... a black SUV with tinted windows shows up right in front of me blocking the exit I get a bad feeling and decid to turn back leaveing using the way I came in another black SUV is blocking my entrance too am thinking what the hell is going on and at that moment you won't t believe who steps out of the vehicle, its Mr freaken coffee speller and shit this guy is ugly oh yes I didn't mention.... his short, has the biggest eyes I have ever seen ,and a huge scar on his chick right under his eye and i get the feeling this is the bad guy ... still in thoughts ( which am very good at ) he says something of which I dont understand and ask to say it again and this time I get what he says " your quite a bitch" am sorry did he just call me a bitch ? I don't even know him so why the hell is he insulting me " look sir I dont know you know and I don't think you should be insulting me.. you should get out of my way because am late " I say to the ass that's standing right infront of me " where is it " he asks wheres what now am confused but then I get a better idea , maybe if I scream these guys would let me go ... well bad idea because the last thing I remember is the floor and me going into sleep I only hope am dead ....

I wake up and now am crying because I really didn't want to wake up to my current situation .. when I opened my eyes I was in a room that looked like some kind of cube I don't know but what I do know it is filled with light ( white light)and when I looked around theres nothing else but the bed its like those rooms we see in the movies and I really think this is disturbing. Am still looking around only for a door to open .... interesting I really didn't think this place had a door away back to the door a man walks in , his huge and his face is covered by a musk and just then he put his phone to his ears and says " shes awake " I look at him and now his looking at me and am guessing he thinks we are having a starring competition well he wins because I have no energy for drama ( yes I just said it ) and after what seems to be hours the door opens and this time it's a man not in a musk but in a tailored suit and expensive colon and right behind Is Mr coffee speller and at that moment the man in a suite is given a gun and he shoots Mr coffee speller right in the head and shit this just got real

The end.
