A Little Excerpt

October 21, 2018

It was around 10 am the next morning after Kevin Maggliardi was held at gunpoint. He just woke up after falling asleep around 8:30 the evening before. Kevin woke up to his heart racing and in a cold sweat. He wore his clothes from the night before, and he was hoping for a long and relaxing shower.

It took Kevin a while to get back to his senses, and he really did not want to get up. His friends, Jack Andrews and Levi Cranston (The Magic Video Game) were with him once he woke up, and they got him something to eat. 

Jing Hao, Asad Prejesh, and Mike Wong had spent an evening in Boston, and Asad stayed over with Jing. 

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Jack said to their "baby brother."
"I feel so disgusting," Kevin replied sleepily, as he took off his hooded sweatshirt. It was drenched in sweat. His hair was very messy from sleeping so long.
"How are you feeling?"
"Same as last night."
"How's your chest?" Jack questioned.
"It really hurts to breathe," Kevin replied, slowly and painfully drawing in a deep breath. His fingers were pressed against his chest. "I woke up several times last night."
"We didn't hear you at all."
"I can hear my heart beating in my ears, and it's starting to get annoying."
"Just plug your ears!"
"I wish. Once someone aggressively grabs your backpack and throws you against a wall with a revolver pressed against your chest, it changes things."
