EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON...

Let’s just say as I stand here looking at this woman who once laid on my living room floor, lifeless - I lost the urge to pee and now had to change my clothes. I’m straining to see what she is doing and what is going on around me, when I finally see her walk up to me, look me up and down and in a very disgusted voice says, “Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me.” She hurries past me toward the trunk, opens it, rumbles through a few things then takes out something and begins to walk toward me. The you’ve closer she got I could see she was holding a knife of some sort and as I stand there contemplating my next move she quickly turns me around, pushes me hard against the SUV and cuts the blind fold [moving quickly] she bends down and rumbles through a box filled with styrofoam balls and pulls out an envelope, an iPHONE, and a key, she puts everything but the key back in the box. She takes the key, stands up and unlocks my handcuffs, goes back to the trunk pulls out some soap, a towel and a gallon of bottled water and says, “Clean yourself up”. I do as I’m told - and as I strip I look around and see NOTHING [we are in the middle of nowhere on some back road and the sun is slowly disappearing over the horizon] – she puts the box in the front seat and takes out the coat she once wore when she fell into my arms, puts it on top of the SUV [chuckles] and says, “looks like you’re gonna need this.” I say nothing because right now I’m just going through the motions, wondering what’s going on, how much time has passed and who exactly is this woman. I finish washing up and put on the coat when she looks at me and says, “Curtis, Curtis, Curtis [uncomfortable pause] you know this changes everything.”…
