    "where am I?"
    "Am I, am I dead?"

    It took a great deal of effort to pick myself off the floor.

    "Hello?"

    As if somebody would hear me.

    "Anybody?"

    I looked around the room. Darkness, simple as that. I fumbled around for a second to find a light switch.

    "Success!" I shouted, A little too loudly.

    I flipped on the light.

    "hello jack, Good morning." A voice said.

    "What? who said that?" I thought.

    "Thank you for participating in our research! You may leave now." The voice said.

    oh, that was right. it made a little more sense than expected. me, trying out research studies for the hell of it, a few hundred bucks can't go to waste, I must have thought.

    "You may experience some slight amnesia. it should pass soon." it said. "the door is on the left."

    "Thanks." I half grumbled.

    after exiting the small room, I went to the front desk, collected my check, and left.

    "Time well spent," I gloated to myself, "and these $300 are mine to spend."
    "Ow!" I checked my arm, just to be sure.
    "stupid ticks!"
    I then proceeded to squish and remove said tiny beetch and go back to my apartment.

    "And rent is paid." I put the portion needed in an envelope.

    I flipped through the channels on the TV, but nothing is ever on these days. let's see:

    Ads.
    Ads.
    Ads.
    Ads.
    OMG Ads.
    Ads.
    economics.
    Ads.
    News (about why we need more Ads. go figure)
    Ads.
    Ads.
    disney
    Ads.
    Ads.
    Ball-Shot family video shows
    Ads.
    Ads.
    Aids
    and more Ads.

    I flipped off the TV, (literally!) and then turned it off.

    And I just decided to sleep.

    When i woke up next morning, I realized my arm was really (and i mean, really) Itchy.

    So, of course, I checked it out in the mirror.
    Well, the bite mark was gone, but now there were small lines where my blood vessels were, or something like that.

    What to do?

    As i headed down the stairs out of the main lobby, I decided to stop by the pancake house down the street.

    Ahh, the Pancake House, The smells of sizzling bacon, and pancake batter cooking... I just can't resist!

    It has a little different interior then your average Denny's. Like for starters, it uses wood as a main factor, and an arched roof that makes it look like a tower from outside.

    And after gorging my self on coma-inducing, mouth-orgasming breakfast, I headed down the street.then, the coolest hobo ever, catman rode by on his bicycle.
    A good day so far.

    Too bad though, as i headed up the elevator Stairs to my apartment (long story) I began to get really dizzy.

    So, as the cure for anything usually is, i headed to bed.But not before i checked out my arm.

    It was beet red.
