Alex awoke with a massive headache. It felt like a terrible hangover except for even though she had recently graduated from High School and was to start college in a couple months, she doesn't drink. She had not been sleeping well for the past week or so. Her home country had recently been invaded by a larger neighboring country and her parents had not been heard from in a couple months. She had received a letter from Immigration that she may be deported as she was now an adult and her college tuition had not been paid by her parents, so her student visa was being revoked. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up in bed and looked across the room. It looked so far away and blurry. She turned around and saw pink walls. She couldn't remember any pink painted rooms in Professor and Mrs. Reynold's house. Then she realized she was naked. Looking around, she couldn't find her clothes, but she saw a pair of girl's pajamas on the bed, so she put them on. She stood up and reached towards a glass of water on the dresser only to have her hand smash against the wall. The dresser and glass, as well as everything else, were painted on the wall. She ran her hand over the bed frame and was surprised to find it felt like plastic. She sat there, trying to remember what happened last night. Her foreign exchange sponsors, the Reynolds, had gone out for the evening and she stayed home to watch Missy, their 6-year-old daughter and Joey, their 2-year-old son. She had put them both to bed around 8 o'clock, got another glass of homemade iced tea from the fridge in the garage and had settled down to watch some television. That was the last thing she remembered. She heard a noise behind her and turned to see who or what it was......and screamed.
