From Create Your Own Story

You're jolted awake by a tapping at your window. Was that a tapping at the window? You're hyperventilating, and you feel like you want to scream. Your body is disoriented, and where are you oh jesus christ where. are- oh. You remember last night. It sounds like something exciting when you think of it like that, like maybe you and Dave went out and got drunk as fuck, or something. But, nope. Instead you're stuck in this fucking desert- there's a rapping at your window again, like somebody's knocking, and you look up. You nearly piss yourself, because there's a dude in full body armor, at least you think it's a dude, they're wearing a leather- ski mask? You're sure you've heard the proper name before, but it's probably not a ski mask, 'cause it's leather. They also have goggles on, like, they look like something you'd find in a lab, but the glass is the stuff that makes it so they can see you, but you can't see them. Like, ski goggles. The strange thought that maybe they're a skier hits you, and you mentally slap yourself because this is the desert, who the fuck goes skiing in a desert? You notice that there's a patch on their chest, like a police officer would wear. With your shitty vision you can't see it from here, but it looks purple. Frankly, they look like they're cosplaying somebody from a shooter game. You mean, what police officer would wear full body armor-

government officials would wear full body armor. Fuck. Shit. What if you accidentally drove into a military base? What if you're in Area 51. They're still out there, supposedly staring at you, and you swallow deeply. It goes down dry, and there's a bitter taste in your mouth.

- Roll down the window, and confront the supposed government official.

- Don't do anything. Maybe they'll go away.

- Fumble for the gun you keep back here somewhere. It's tough living.
