I opened my eyes in bed staring at a ceiling that wasn't mine at all. It was a masterpiece of excess, a vaulted ceiling painted to look like a stormy sky with actual lightning that flickered lazily every few seconds. The furniture was dark mahogany and velvet, smelling faintly of expensive leather and sandalwood.
Am I at a hotel?
Did I score last night?
What-
Suddenly everything came rushing back into my head. Unwanted hands on my body. The smell of wet dog. A hole being put through someone's chest...
I hadn't been that close to a dead body since I watched Melody kill that crazy gym teacher with my prized bug collection.
I actually got rid of most of those after that because my hobby was ruined by her.
Everything in my stomach, which was nothing but bile, spilled out onto the floor.
What happened after I blacked out?
"Where am I?" I groaned trying to catch my breath as I spiraled.
"Awake?" A voice said making me jump.
It wasn't... it was!
"Lucas?" I asked.
