There was a loud clunk as some bright white lights flashed on and broke through the darkness under the canvas sack. I could make out a few shadows‚ but other than that the material was too thick to see through properly. Did I mention my mild claustrophobia? Either way‚ I was scared. More than scared. If it was one thing I’d leant in my profession‚ it was exposure to fear didn’t always create tolerance. Dr Crane had kindly proven that. I could hear Alexandra breathing harshly to my right‚ but the

“Come on Haley are you going to go paintballing with us or not? “ my mother invited with slight anger in her voice. “Yes I will go with you but it’s on you if I get hurt.” I jokingly respond. I made the choice to go paintballing because I’ve always wanted the experience to go and to prove to my mother that it’s dangerous. We drive down a narrow gravel road to a big grassy field with a small shack near the parking lot. I take a nice deep breath through my nose and smell the country fresh crisp air
