You went to bed like any other night and fell into a deep sleep in minutes. But when you woke up, you weren't at home. You were in a car (that wasn't yours), wearing clothes (that weren't yours), and holding a bag full of money (that wasn't yours). Suddenly, you see a policeman approaching the strange car you are inside. What (or who) caused this scenario? What were the effects of the scenario?
In the comments section to this blog, post a paragraph (8-10 sentences) response to this prompt. Blog post is due by midnight tonight - Wednesday, Nov. 12th.
I opened my eyes after a long night of sleep, but something was wrong. I wasn’t at home in my bed. I was in a car and I was wearing clothes that weren’t mine. I looked around me but I did not recognize the place where I was. On the seat next to me there was a bag full of money that is clearly not mine. I suddenly perceive a police officer approaching the car. I started to panic; I did not know what to do. Should I hide the bag? Or would he believe me if I told him that I do not know what I’m doing here? By the time I react, the officer was already in front of the car looking at me with strangely. He started asking me questions which I had no answer because I had no idea how I got there. He asked me to get out of the car and to follow him to the police station. My heart almost stops beating. I was so scared. I was likely to have serious problems or worse, go to jail. In our way to the police station, I tried to remember any detail from the night before that could help me understand what happened to me. When we arrived at the station, I was surprised to see all my friends there. They were looking at me and laughing without and I didn’t understand why. After a long time of reflection, I finally remembered that we were in the beginning of April and that was just a good April fool’s joke. They really got me right on this one this time.
ReplyDeleteApril Fool's prank! Cool idea.
DeleteWhen I opened my eyes, all I could see was a car seat made out of old leather. I quickly realized that I was in a moving car with a driver that I have never seen in my life; I was confused but mostly scared. Last night was a big blur, I remember being at a party with a man I didn’t know. As I was getting my senses back, I noticed a big bag. I opened it and what I saw frightened me: it was full of money. I tried to talk to the driver, asking him a series of questions one after the other, but he didn’t reply and ignored me as if I wasn’t even there, I was also wearing a hoodie and a pants that weren’t mine. The car stopped and the driver got out leaving me alone, and suddenly a man was came up to me and knocked on my window, I realized he was a police man. He pulled me out as soon as he saw the bag of money and arrested me, ignoring all I had to say and took me to the police station where I finally got the chance to explain myself. The investigation them began.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the beginning of a good crime movie.
DeleteBeing tired after the Halloween party, I went immediately to bed and sleep. Next day, I woke up but sometimes strange have happened. I woke up in a limousine car driven by a gentleman with a nice suit. I was wearing a gorgeous tall red dress with black high heels. In my side was put a bag. I opened it, surprise! It was full of money. But who‘s this money? What should I do with it? It is mine? Questions without answers bothered me. After few minutes, a police officer stopped us and starts talking in a foreign country, I thought it was the Russian language. He asked the driver to park and to go out the car in order to search if there are something prohibited such as guns or drugs. Then he took the bag and start looking inside. I was afraid when he asked me about it and I didn’t answer him. So he decided to bring me to the police station. It was terrible, the police started asking and shouting very loudly. I started crying and asking for my parents. After few minutes I heard a voice. It was my mother coming to help me, and waking me up from this terrible nightmare.
ReplyDeleteAh, the old nightmare scenario. It's a little boring, but classic.
DeleteWhen I opened my eyes and see this strange situation, I remembered that yesterday I was with some friend and that we were mixing different drugs. I tried to remember which drug I took but I couldn’t. The policeman was near my window and asked me to get out of the car. He asked me my name and where I was from. I couldn’t open my mouth to respond because of all the drugs that I took. I was looking at him trying to understand what was happen to me but suddenly I fainted. When I woke up I was at the hospital and the policeman was seating next to me. He said “Are you ok?” I didn’t answer; I just closed my eyes and tried to sleep again. The doctor came and said “We did a gastric lavage because of all the drugs that you took, it’s a miracle that you didn’t die.” I couldn’t believe what was happening to me! Since that day, I promise to myself to never touch any type of drugs.
ReplyDeleteDrugs are for thugs.
DeleteIt was a cold night and I was feeling so tired. I finished my courses at 6 PM, after that I went to back home to eat my dinner and get some sleep. I had no plan for that night, and I wasn’t expecting any guests. When I arrived home at 7 PM, I took a shower, ate my dinner, and went straight to my bad. In the middle of the night I woke up full of energy like if I had slept for more than 8 hours. Suddenly, I realized that I was in a car that is not mine, wearing weird sport clothes, and holding a nice bag full of dollars. Honestly, I didn’t know what I should do. I tried to remember what had happened before I found myself in that car but I couldn’t. Without warning, a police officer came toward the car and knocked on the window. “Everything is ok sir,” asked the police man. I was scary when I replied on his question what causes him to ask me to show him my papers. I checked inside my clothes but I found nothing. I looked confused to the police officer; he went tree steps to the back and asked me to get out of the car. Out of nowhere, a gorgeous woman came and showed the police man some papers. After that she got into the car and kissed me like if I was here boyfriend. The police man felt comfortable with what has happened and left us alone. To be continued
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the introduction scene of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
DeleteIf you have already seen the movie hangover then you won't be shocked if i told you my story. One night, i went to bed just as like other nights and i felt asleep in few minutes because i was totally stoned but when i woke up, i was surprised ! Where am i ? How did i get here ? Whose clothes am i wearing ? Whose car is this ? I was totally terrified. My fear amplified when i saw a police man coming directly to me. What happened ? I had no idea of how did i get there. At first i guessed that maybe i smoked too much and then i went out and did something bad, but i remembered that i went straight to bed once i was high. When the police man arrived, he asked me if i needed help but as i was terrified i just said no and left the car there then i run to my house, called some friends that explained me that we went to a party last night. That's all i know , the rest is only dark.

DeleteLast Saturday, I had a strange experience. When I opened my eyes, I just found out that I wasn’t in my bed but strangely, I was in a car. I didn’t even remember what happened the day before, I just remember that I went to bed like any other night and fell into a deep sleep in minutes. I thought that the car belonged to a friend, but, this car was totally unrecognizable to me. Even more worrying, I was wearing clothes that weren’t mine. When I start searching how I was in this car of somebody wearing clothes of somebody, I noticed that a bag full of money was putted in the front seat of the car. At that moment, I was shocked and terrified. Suddenly, I heard a police siren that becoming closer and closer to me. Then, I saw the policeman getting out from his car and showing his guns. I was scared, and I didn’t have any idea of what is happening and I didn't know in what troubles I've made myself in. “get out from the car and put your hands in the air,” the policeman shouted . So I got out from the car and I raised my hands which were shaking. “That’s the boy, that’s the missing boy,” shouted again the policeman. He grabbed my hand and takes me to the police station, and there, he explained to me that I was drugged, and kidnapped by kidnappers when I was returning to my home.
ReplyDeleteBeing a kidnapping hostage is one of my greatest fears.
DeleteThat night was not ordinary. It was the creepiest and the most insane night ever. I had an exhausting day so I fell asleep as fast as I went home. It was a very good feeling lying on my bed. I didn't know or feel how fast did it happen but I wook up finding myself with some weird clothes i've never owned, in a very fancy car which belongs to any of my friends or family. There was a lot of money everywhere and especially in a LV bag near me. It looked like one of those Lil Wayne music videos. I felt unconfortable and so nervous. I litteraly felt lost and had nothing to do. As I went out from the car to guess where I am, I saw a cop coming to my way and asking me to let go the bag and all my guns I was so frightened , I tried to escape but there were police cars everywhere. I gave up trying to explain that I have nothing to do with the story I totally ignore. After hours and nonsleep days they let me return home safe.. Since that day, I had very serious troubles of sleeping.
ReplyDeleteIf your life ever resembles a Lil Wayne video, you are probably in trouble.
DeleteAs I opened my eyes, i saw something strange going on ! I wasn't sleeping anymore, i was sitting in a car, i saw myself in the mirror, it wasn't really me. I was wearing someone's else clothes and there was a strange bag next to me. I opened the bag out of curiosity, and i've found out that it was full of money. That scared the hell out of me, especially when i saw the policeman coming in front of me ... What was going on ? Where was I ? I tried to start the car's engine but that didn't work, I tried to open the door but that didn't work too, i was looking at the policeman, he was staring in my eyes. He pulled of his gun and looked straight into my eyes,he pointed the gun at me and shot ! That's when i woke up, i was sweating and my heart was beating so fast,those nightmares are haunting me again.
ReplyDeleteAh, the old nightmare gag. Kind of played out.

DeleteLast night, I went to bed like any other night and fell into a deep sleep in minutes. But when I woke up, I weren't at home. I were in a car that wasn't mine, wearing clothes that weren't mine, and holding a bag full of money that wasn't mine. Suddenly, you see a policeman approaching the strange car I am inside. This scenario was caused by a movie that I see before I got in a deep sleep. The movie was almost about the same story, but this person wasn’t sleeping. The policeman approach but he didn’t pay attention that the car is not mine and the bag is full of money. To conclude, I think that this scenario is only an imaginary story and I hope that it wouldn’t happen for me in the real life because I don’t want to be in this situation.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would hate being in this situation, too. But, it was a good opportunity to be creative in your writing.
DeleteI woke up wearing an all black outfit, in a black Fiat 500, in the middle of the night with a big black bag full of money, sitting next to a young man in an all black outfit too. When he noticed that I was starting to open my eyes he begun explaining me what happened, “Good evening. I'm not going to hurt. At least if you don't oblige me to do so. I'm just a burglar who is tired of getting caught. So I borrowed your body and controlled him remotely thanks to a brand new drug developed by the Russian secret services. Now please go back to sleep. There is a policeman coming.” He pressed a button on what looks like a cellphone. Then I heard a very acute sound and I lost consciousness again. I just had the time to heard "Good evening Mister Officer! Here's my car license and the papers of the car.” After a small time, I think, I woke up at the hospital attached by handcuffs in bed. An inspector was sitting next to me. I just had the time to say, “Where am I?” And he started to read my rights. He concluded by "You are charged of being the accomplice of Mister Biden in the robbery of the federal bank of Minneapolis. Since you have been caught in obvious offence of leak and that you were in a coma for two weeks the judge condemn you to spend 15 years in prison with 5 suspended sentence."
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS TOTALLY CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REMOTE CONTROLLING BODY CRIMES!!!! Write this screenplay and sell it to Hollywood for 1 million dollars.
DeleteI open my eyes to the sound of a bus driving by. I live on the second floor pf my building, the sounds of the busy streets aren't usually heard this much. To my complete surprise, I find myself in an old Toyota Corolla, wearing a jumper and a pair pf jeans thay were made to fit a grown man, not a small girl like myself. On the passenger seat, a black bag bursting open with money that certainly wasn't mine. My account holds about the tenth of what wss in that bag. Close to panic and completely lost, I start looking for my cellphone, or anything to get in contact with the outside world, nothing. I look outside and by a stroke of luck, a police offocer is standing 20 feet away, writing a ticket. I try honking to get his attention, but nothing in this car seems to work. Desperate, I start screaming for help and hitting the car doors and windows, praying for someone to see me and contact the police. All of a sudden, I hear the sound of doors unlocking. Before I can make an escape, a bald middle aged man with a mustache walks in, sits in the passenger seat and puts the key in the ignition. Terrified, I look at him with tears in my eyes, wordlessly begging him to let me go. Instead, he pulls out a swiss knife from his front pocket and points it at me. "Drive", was all he said, but the menacing look in his eye made me start the car as fast as I could, trying to buy time before I could figure out how to get out of this incomprehensible mess.
ReplyDeleteYour use of description words in this blog post are beautiful and terrifying. Excellent work.
