Ian opened his eyes, there was a pain burrowed deep inside his head. He scanned the room for any clues to where he might be. He didn’t recognize anything in the room to be his own. It was poorly lit and he was barely awake. There was a bitter sweet, citrus, yet piney odor permeating throughout the room, it was strangely familiar, but he couldn’t place it. In the far corner he spotted a small sliver of light along the floor which he assumed was a door. The time on his phone read 7:14, he slowly climbed out of bed unaware of the occupant asleep next to him, and journeyed out into the hallway.
Ian saw a door at the end of the long narrow hallway, a room that resembled or he at least hoped was a bathroom. His head was pounding and he needed something to ease this pain. He took a few steps before hearing a set of footsteps behind him.
