You have heard a lot about California, more importantly, Los Angeles.

The City of Angels.

Your friend has always told you about how nice it was over there. So, for the summer, you decide to pack up and head to Cali for a little getaway for yourself. The excitement grew and you couldn’t contain it. Going to the land of stars and starlets, the land of gods and monsters.

It just seemed too good, a total dream.

As you drove in California, the atmosphere was different. It was cool and nice. Perfect weather. Your friend texted you a while ago to pick her up so, you do just that. They get in the car and gave you a friendly smile.

It was almost night and they thought that maybe a night out to a club would be great to celebrate your arrival. Though, this wasn’t like any night out at all.

Here you were in this club, music blasting as people were getting high and dancing, not caring about one another. You decide to chill for a bit, watch as you grab a table and order drinks. Your friend went to the dance floor, they seemed to know most of the people here.

This might’ve been the liveliest place you’ve went to.

You were looking around the place, admiring the ambiance. It was a bit too much but it wasn’t bad at all. As you were going to get up and join your friend, a man dressed nicely in high end clothing and a black durag, approaches you.

“Hey ma, what are you doing here, sitting all alone? A pretty girl like you should be partying and having a good time.” He smiles, though, it wasn’t a smile that put you at ease.

It was the opposite, really.
