Mandy lay on her back. A large teddy bear pillow propped under her head. She crossed her arms under the back of her head as she watched the small TV in her room. The Blues Brothers movie played on the tiny TV.
She smiled to herself. This was the only movie her parents ever agreed on. Her, her mother and her father would watch it every time it came on.
About an half hour later she could hear her dad stomping around in the living room, getting ready for bed. She returned her attention back to the movie until she heard a knock at her bedroom door.
"I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too late, Kay?" "I won't daddy."
A little while later she began dozing off. Her eyes opened wide when she heard a loud. 'Hey you sleaze…my Bed!' But the TV kept repeating it. Over and over and it became louder. She frowned at the TV as she found the remote and tried turning the sound down. But it just went up.
Suddenly thick black smoke began pouring from the back of the set and the tape was ejected out. The tape's innards began spewing out. Frantically she tired to turn it off. "Forget this!" She jumped back from the TV and started for the door but the thick, black smoke had the room filled completely.
She stumbled backwards trying to not inhale the smoke. She coughed as she fell back against the bed, landing on her back. She couldn't see anything, the smoke was burning her eyes, She tightly closed them. Suddenly the smoke scent was gone. She inhaled a deep breath and coughed out the smoke. Slowly she opened her eyes.
"Holy Shit…" She Whispered. She pushed a few short strands of brown hair out of her face as she stared wide-eyed. Then she closed her eyes again and reopened them. Mandy sat on a small cot-like bed.
"I must have died…or I'm hallucinating." She was in a small one person apartment, it wasn't even big enough for one person. She bit her lip. "Ohhh kay? I bet the wall behind me is gonna be covered with various pics." She slowly turned her head around, looking behind her. And sure enough the wall was covered with them. She slapped her forehead. Mandy looked at the far corner of the room and saw a small hotplate and a record player.
"Oh my god." The sudden rumble of a passing train made her jump. Some of the pictures on the wall shook and fell. Clattering to floor behind the cot. "This can't be real, This Can't be real."
Little more than twenty minutes later she could hear two male voices coming from outside the door. They sounded very familiar. Mandy bit her lip. This was so freakin weird. Maybe she was in the twilight zone? And some alien's abducted her and thought this was a place that she wanted to be? Nah.
The lock in the door began turning and it swung open. Mandy drew her knees up to her chest. She was scared but at the same time she felt some excitement. Could it be them?
Two men in black suits walked in. First a tall one then a short one who was a little heavier than the tall one.
Mandy's eyes opened even wider. She sat there staring, not moving at all. Just looking much like a statue. Her heart started hammering in her chest. And sweat beads broke out all over her face.
The tall one pointed to her. "Jake, who the hell is this?" He turned and started at the shorter man. The short man crossed his arms.
"She ain't with me." Jake then grinned behind the sunglasses. "You finally decided to start being a man, Elwood?" Elwood shook his head in a 'Your helpless' pose.
