Matthew was sure of one thing, his death. He sat there on the cold browned floor with a sinister smile on his lips and faced the door, ready to greet death with a cheerless he didn't  feel.

If death was calling, then he was going to answer with a laugh.

  After all, he deserved no less. The dream had taught him alot more then reality. He knew he was a monster now, and the monster never got the happy ending. In fact he gotta to die in place like this, a  dirty and shit smelling bathroom.

He swallowed and watched the green door more closely. His phone in one tightly gripped hand, the battery had  died but it bought him a sense of normalcy he desperately needed. In his other hand was a pipe he had broken off one of the sinks, which  he gripped even tighter.

  Matt knew he should just walk out of the room. He didn't  even know for sure what was  going on, for all he knew he could have just passed out from his own  weakness, not that someone had drugged him. But a deep instinct inside him told him that something wasn't  right, this store wasn't normal, Carter wasn't  normal.

Look at that, he thought with despair and fake interest, I'm  finally listening to those annoying warning bells that have been ringing since i got here..too late now, i suppose.

  It had been hours since he woke up, but he didn't know how many. It was still dark outside, he could tell by the tiny window that wouldn't open above his head. The moonlight reflected off the glass and on to his wore black boots. It so cold now that his fingers began to numb. He didn't  care though, the fear would kill him before the cold.

The door across from him stood solid and ominous. Its green door taunting his every thought with it brightness in such colorless room.

Is that what he had become?

  A colorless man in a colorless world looking for the bright then drinking away the color with his selfishness?

Thats what he had done to Maggie, poor innocent bright Maggie. He had taken away all her colors and left a blank paper behind.

And even now he still wished to burn it.

  Matt dropped his head into his knees and let out a frustrated sadden sound. Every emotion he felt came pouring out and soon he was throwing his iPhone against the door.

It fell short and hit the floor a few feet away from him. The screen still blank but now cracked.

Now he was crying for whole new reason.

  That phone costed more then his apartment, And damn he knew he shouldn't care now of all times but- Fuck  he cared!

Taking deep breath, he cooled off his emotions and let himself think what he come to believe was reality. Everything was okay, problems were for tomorrow and he would get out of here alive, and Maggie would say yes.

The gun would forever stay in its case.

  Matt knew he could leave at any moment. The only thing that kept him in the bathroom was fear.

The fear of what would happen if he left and the fear what exactly was outside. But fear had stopped him from doing so many things in his short life and now it kept him locked in his mind and this room.

An image of his worried parents flashed in his head, Car found  empty, Another missing person, he just stopped at that nice small store a little way up and disappeared. He could imagine his parents burying an empty coffin while Linkin Park played on.

  Matt stood up straight, the pipe in his left hand felt heavy and unsteady but he kept a strong hold on it.

He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know what Carter was up to or who the old man was or even where they were at this moment.

  But he knew he was gonna fight, he was gonna fight for his parents and Maggie and for himself and- and flip, even his dick of nephew that he'd probably hug for the first time if he saw him again.. when he saw him again.

He began walking, his footsteps sounded like the only noise for miles and unnerved  him greatly, then it happened.

The door slammed opened with wracking smack.
