he opened his eyes Gabriel thought he had just awaken
from a weird nightmare. He looked around the basement and found no one. It was
dark and quiet. He adjusted his position so his right arm wouldn’t hurt since
it was cuffed to the pipes and sighed. It
was all a dream, he thought, I had
her on my mind so I thought my kidnapper was her. What an idiotic idea. Rachel
is not my kidnapper.

took him a while to recover but when he did he wished he hadn’t. Standing in
front of the door was Rachel.

with his hand covering his face.

bitterly.

closed the door. Gabriel hit his head against the wall several times as if
wanting it all to go away. This only
happens to me, he thought with sorrow. Can
this week get any worse? You could say Gabriel was not familiarized with an
ancient concept called karma. But it
was about to hit him.
