Angela finishes off her fifth bottle of Budweiser before nine. She moves to tie her laces, as their cat, Humphry brushes up against her arm. The rays from the early sun shine through into the living room. It was the first enjoyable day they had had in a while since the weather is temperamental in Seymour, Indiana, and Angela was eager to go out for a walk. Her roommate, Jessica, hates it when she goes out for walks on her own, especially while drunk as they don’t exactly live in the best area and plus, she has gotten into some trouble before while on a drunk walk alone. However, Jessica is still sound asleep, and Angela doesn’t want to wake her. She herself isn’t really that worried but she also is buzzed so she grabs the pepper spray just in case and leaves a note for Jessica. Grabbing her headphones, she heads out the door into the warm May air. Thankfully, there is a park about a twenty-minute walk away. Angela walks the distance to the park, making sure to be aware of her surroundings, but she is buzzed so everything is a blur. Once at the park, she begins her stroll on the park’s path.
