''Cut her.'' I heard a man say in a low tone. I felt his presence. I heard his footsteps racing back and forth.

My head felt heavy. My lips felt tight, like my mouth was covered with tape.

There was a fabric around my face and covering my eyes. I could see an outline of a man in front of me and I'm positive there's another person here, wherever I am. It smelt like rain and burnt cigarettes, but I could almost smell the gas from automobiles pass us in a distance. I was sitting on a cardboard box and kept my legs crossed and my posture straight as I was sinking in. The person that should have been cutting me was hesitant. I felt the cold steel brush down my arms to my tied-up wrists on my lap, I didn't flinch.

''Wait,'' the man making the orders said boldly.

Then one of them ripped the tape off my mouth. It stung, my lips were throbbing. I didn't want to show that I was in pain, so I tucked my lips in. I'm reluctant to show pain, to show that I'm weak.

''I know you were there the day it happened.'' The man said while I felt his cold breath near my face.

I knew exactly what he was talking about. I could just deny the fact I was there. I felt that I shouldn't.

''Tell me, and we'll be back on good terms.'' He said in a honeyed voice, and I could smell his lies though his bitter cologne.

I stood quiet. He felt confident but, still acted intimate. I hated people who acted sincere. I may well despise half the population. I could feel my emotions pile up.

Finally, I said ''What do you know?" In a aggressive tone.

A harsh slap landed across my cheek.

I was back home I could tell, but my vision was fuzzy. Lovely flat plains rolled as far as my eyes can see. I turned around to see the scenery behind me there was a rice field behind a long dirt road my parents were standing in the middle of. I know they were my parents, but their faces were a blur.

''Ignorance is bliss." were the toneless words that came out from my mother's unblurred mouth, yet it wasn't her voice.

My mother didn't know English. Everything but my father's eyes were blurred out and he had a hole in chest where his heart was supposed to be. I'm used to unusual activity, but this hasn't happened in a while.
