Excerpt:
As the “Sunset Credit Union” is in preparation to close, emotions
are winding down to suspend the business day. All the employees in
the bank are anticipating about their agenda once they exit work,
in addition to any plans for the weekend they may have. Putting all
professional related thoughts aside, and positing themselves for
the end of the shift. Having in mind that this typical Friday at
the bank, is coming to an end. With everyone comfortable with the
idea and notion that once work is finished, they can wind
themselves down and can be satisfied to proceed with their own
personal matters.
However, the mood is soon to change. There is a dark and unpleasant
energy floating about. One that is sure to bring much danger and
negative signals. The “Oakwood Shopping Center”, is about to be the
epicenter of extreme disaster. Disaster, that not a single soul is
ready and prepared to deal with. This disaster and peril is not
unexpected though, as everyone in this area can sense the fear,
although it is difficult for anyone to quite put their finger onto
what the fear actually is. It is just very devastating and
upsetting that this feeling is just overpowering the building. What
is for certain is that something negative is creeping up, and it’s
not something that anyone is looking forward to.
This was supposed to be an ordinary typical Friday, but according
to the shift and mood that lingers in the air, this might not all
be the case. It is very unfortunate that anxiety has to be on high
rise, and comfortable and relaxed vibes instead aren’t present.
Actions do in fact speak louder than words, but due to the high
anxiety which everyone inside the bank has, the actions cannot be
committed. Thoughts and emotions are only available, and these
thoughts and emotions people generally keep to themselves. Even
though there is a disgusting surge of negative harsh energy at this
point, people have to accept and deal with it. It is a harsh truth
to understand but basically, it is the only thing that anyone can
do. Simply conform to normality and carry on with regular routines
and customs. As generally there shouldn’t be any reason to think
otherwise, or to assume anything otherwise. What people feel and
what emotions they have shouldn’t have any merit or any reason or
rhyme, so all of that just simply has to be ignored so there isn’t
any cause for concern. If only it were as simple and as smooth as
that.
Rushing down the street is a white 1994 Chevy Astro van with tinted
windows, including the rear window, and a tinted windscreen. The
tires on the van are quite large and look brand new. There is no
license plate at all on the vehicle. This van is driving very
erratically and recklessly, and driving in an unsafe and unnatural
fashion. Although the van is following the traffic signals for the
most part, that seems to be dismissive.
