Tulip's Tales

I startle awake, having just had the worst nightmare ever. Being kidnapped and ... oh my god. It's isn't a nightmare; it is here and now. My eyes are open but I can't see anything. It smells damp and dirty. I give a quick intake of breath as something crawls across my hand and pull my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them in an attempt to make myself as small as possible.

I turn toward a scraping noise on my left, having no idea what to expect. Suddenly I am flooded in bright light and something bumps into my knees. As quickly as it came, the darkness is back, enveloping me in silence.

I reach out and touch what feels like a cardboard box. Further examination and smell reveal some sort of food, although I'm not sure what. I reach in and feel a glass .. water I hope, but as I bring it closer to my nose I realize it is milk, slightly sour milk.
