Today was an average day. It was one of those rare days when Temple actually woke up happy and not angry. She went to the refrigerator and poured a bowl of strawberry cereal and milk. She ate it, and went to the maplewood crest tv informational channel. She realized that today was the maple wood crest annual cook out. She saw that it started at 4:30, so she planned on going.

.    .    .

     

     She flipped to the weather channel, so she could choose her outfit based off the temperature. It was going to be a fluctuation between 60 and 75 degrees, so Temple wore a thin long-sleeved white shirt and some black jeans with some sneakers. 

.   .    .

     Temple set out for the cook out. On the way to the back of the building there she noticed a new business. Thats wasn't really significant to her life at the moment though. She just wanted to mingle with people she lived around.

.    .    .

     She arrived at the cook out perhaps too early because there were only a few people there that she did not recognize. So she walked down the street until her friend bambi got to there. She was walking and noticed a truck full of pumpkins. She knew that she should get into the halloween spirit since it was getting close, so she took one

          Today temple decided to do some cleaning. she was going to do the window in her bedroom first. then the one in the living room. after she cleaned all of her windows. she was going to clean both her room and the guest room.  Afterwards she was going to clean her guest room and her room. The second to last thing that she was going to clean would be the living room and the very last thing she was going to clean is the kitchen, so after all of her hard work and cleaning, she would have a delicious strawberry short cake. after she cleaned she ate her last bar of strawberry short cake, and  opened the other box for later.  then she left to go get another box from cvs, so she wouldn't run out.

     It was the morning time, and temple woke up, walked to the freezer and got herself a strawberry short cake ice-cream bar. She walked over to her window and realized that it was foggy outside. It must have been from the rain from yesterday. While staring out the window and eating her ice-cream bar, temple noticed something strange outside. Being the nosey person that temple is, she wanted to go investigate. She finished off the last lick of her ice cream got on her jacket, and rain boots located on the coat hook by the front door. She left out as if she were a spy and continued towards the lobby. The elevator was still broken which made temple angry, but she began to count to 10 and back down to 1 so that she would stay calm. She walked over to the steps and went down them. The boxes were finally gone and some one finally caught those pesky birds. Temple felt very relieved for once then forgot why she was down two floors away from room 207. She waited a second and still couldn't remember, so she just left to go get something to eat from the underground pub. When she stepped outside it was steamy, and foggy. She took off her jacket because she literally was damp because of all of the humidity. She continued on her walk. Then she realized that the pub was in the basement of Maplewood crest. She lived in Maplewood crest for 4 years and couldn't remember where the pub was. What was going on with her mind today? She turned around by the statue and went to the basement level of maple wood crest. She sat down and ordered a pizza. There was a show going on by this comedian who was called Jimmy. Temple recognized this man but didn't know from where. Her pizza came out she ate and was still thinking of where she knew this man. "STRIP CLUB" temple yelled out! All eyes were on her but she ducked down and crept out of the pub. She walked up  stairs and smelled something burning. The fire bell was going off. The building reeked of burning linen. The smell was terrible, so temple hightailed up to her apartment. The smell was in her place too she wondered what it came from. She didn't dwell on it, so she got another ice-cream and ate that too.

     It was a dark and stormy night and there was nothing but police cars and siren noises in the distance. temple was inside of her apartment and she was so agitated at the sound, so she left to see what all of the commotion was about. She tried to go down to the lobby by the elevator, but it seemed to be out of order. If its not one thing in this poorly built place it is another. First the power the other day, now this dumb ass elevator temple said too herself. She was mad as always, but she took the stairs. When she got to the lobby she was enraged! Someone was moving out of this hell hole and she was stuck first off. Secondly some one's loud squawking birds were loose! She began to count to ten and back a few times as directed by her therapist. She maneuvered her way through the boxes and dodged the flying birds and balked out of the entrance. It was raining cats and dogs but she still walked out far enough to see that something was going on with the CVS. She ran back upstairs while hurdling over boxes to check the Mapplewood Crest local news. She was out of breath and still managed to sprint to her door. She barged inside and clicked the tv on. It was breaking news. She Hoped that it wasn't too bad. I mean nothing this crazy ever goes on in little Mapplewood. It turns out that someone broke into the CVS and smashed the windows out. She didn't know if this was a robbery or a vandalism, but all she knew was that she needed to be able to go there and buy her favorite sour patch kids candy and a box of strawberry short cake ice-cream or else she was going to be pissed off. She ran out to go see if she could go stock on a few boxes to be prepared until the cvs is prepared. she accidentally knocked on Chris's door on her way out,but that was it she continued  anyway.

 The Beginning

         The day started at 7 in the evening with darkness. Not the darkness that she feels every day when words would fly out of her mouth, as much as she wished they wouldn’t, but literal darkness. It was black. She had just awakened from her evening nap, as directed by her doctor, and her curtains were closed and her lights were off. “I never TURN MY LIGHTS OF!” screamed Temple. Either someone was in her apartment with her, or the power was out. She went on a tangent. She couldn’t see anything.She was mad and stumping and trying to find her way through her room to get to the curtains. It probably would help if her “SHIT!” yelled Temple. She had shuffled onto a lifted floorboard and stubbed her toe like she had done every time she awakens from her daily nap. Eventually she got to the window. She slung it open, trying to get some light, and the rod fell down. She was pissed off! and still no light. She felt along the flakey walls to feel for her unsteady light switch. she found the switch and flipped it a few times, and still she had no lights. She felt along the unsanded door and searched for a door knob. She got to the living room. She walked onto of the old coffee table to avoid the obstructed floor and ran straight for the door. She exited and walked down the long Anyway, Temple, still heated, felt her way down to the front office trying to get answers.
