Trapped in My Dreams

Chapter 1 Melissa picked up her jacket from the sofa and rushed out. Running down the hall, into the stairwell, and down four flights of stairs before reaching the exit door. Out she went, passed the lobby and out the side door. She walked as quickly as possible to the nearest bus hub and stood with her fist clenched in her pockets. It wasn’t long before a bus came to a stop right in front of her. Last on, she made a b-line to the back and cozied up by the window. Watching closely as each neighborhood changed from houses, to buildings, to little shopping centers, Melissa had finally reached her destination. She exited the bus and shot through a set of double doors. Making her way to the receptionist desk, she said, “Um, I have an appointment.” The receptionist took the small piece of paper from her hand and glanced over it. “Ok Melissa, I need you to fill out these forms. The places you see highlighted, sign and date.”
