X
“Oh officer! Officer! Is it getting hard to breathe in
there?” Princess calls through the window.
“You guys dead yet?” He stops talking for a moment,
as if waiting for an answer.
I try to keep as quiet as possible, but with the room now so full of car exhaust, I can’t help but hack and
cough a lung out.
Dammit.
“Nope. Still here Princess,” I call back to him, before another round of coughing.
It makes me feel pretty okay that Princess hasn’t
responded. I’m pretty sure that I hit a nerve.
If I wasn’t coughing so much, I definitely would
have smiled.
I desperately want to call out to Jenny, to see how

She should have opened the door by now….
Has she just abandoned me in here? In a way, I wouldn’t even blame her. She’s had a rough time
X
with the Baron, and I… well, I just made it worse for
her.
Even worse, I made her an easy target by putting in
a prison cell. Oh god, it’s getting so hard to breathe.
The edges of my vision begin to blur and bubble
with black as darkness begins to take over me.
I rail against the door, smashing it with my fists, hoping against hope that it’ll suddenly, magically open because I want it to.
So, this is how it ends… on the floor of a prison cell block, asphyxiated with car exhaust by a guy named
“Princess.”
Fuck my life…
Nah. It’s already fucked. I don’t need it even more

Somehow I’m left with a certain sense of peace as
Somehow, I’m left with a certain sense of peace as
the last vestiges of my consciousness begin to leave
- me.
“How about now, officer?”
The really annoying thing about this whole situation, is that Princess actually got me.
I begin slinking down into the floor, my back against
the door. I vaguely hear the sound of banging behind.
it, but I’m so out of it that I really don’t understand what’s happening.
All of a sudden, the door goes flying open, smashing into me forcefully.
I’m super out of it, but all I can do is smile as the last
thing I remember is that it would have hurt if I could
still feel anything.
With that, the darkness overtakes me.

Max! Max!
I hear some vague mumbling close to me. I’m dreaming. I remember this girl…
3.02 PM & d
dreaming. I remember this girlreart
She was beautiful and innocent.
What was her name again? Why can’t I remember?
My head violently rocks to the side, and I feel a faint
pain in my cheek.
That’s weird.
What a weird dream.
Max! Wake up Max!
Who on earth…? No way. I’m having such a good dream. What was her name again? Jerry? Jamie?
I really hurt her…
The realization makes me feel sick. I want to vomit,
but I can’t let myself. It’s too nice in here.
She’s so pretty, too. What a shame that she got away.
What ever happened to her?
My head, once again, violently rocks to the side, except this time, it happens multiple times in a row.
I try to throw up my hands to stop it, but they are so
heavy
Jailbreak My Heart
“I can’t really move very well at the moment..” I try
to mumble it. I know it’s just a dream, but damn. Maybe my head will stop rocking.
It’s so peaceful here. Honestly, I feel like I could stay here forever. It’s quiet, and serene. Time passes slowly here, but it’s not a bad thing. There is no pain. At least, not when my head isn’t jerking. Such
an odd sensation.
Max! Goddammit Max!
“MAX!”
My eyes snap open as my ear is left ringing. I’m so
out of it.
Where am I even?
“Ahhhh…” I groan as I put my hand to my head. I
have such a splitting headache… I almost wish I was
dead.
“Max. Max! Max, wake up!”
I look up to see who’s talking to me and it’s… the
girl. Oh my god, the girl!
Another chance…
She’s kneeling over me, and I don’t think. I grab her, and plant the biggest kiss I can muster on her supple
lips.
She doesn’t resist even a little. I can feel it. She
presses her mouth into mine. Our tongues dance majestically, and it’s like time stops. Maybe this is
heaven after all…
But then she pulls away suddenly, and once again, I
feel my head snap sideways.
And then it all clicks, and I’m finally fully awake. I
remember everything.
“Why the fuck do you keep slapping me!?” I demand
of her.
“Why did you kiss me, you asshole?”
“I… what? What is going on?”
Oh yeah. I guess I did kiss her.
So good…
Everything is coming back to me now, but I’m still
out of here, NOW!”
Somehow, she’s managed to drag me down the
hallway leading up to the cell blocks, and the door to
the cellblock is closed again.
“How did you…
“Shut up,” she tells me as she presses her lips into mine again.
I’m so confused, but… I also don’t care. I’ll take it.
She’s got me in her grip.
After a moment, she frees me from her grip.
“I thought…
“You didn’t ask me the first time.” That’s all she
says.
And really, who am I to argue?
