It's a cool, brisk friday afternoon. Midterms are just over, Fall has set in and Winter is not too far away. The trees on campus have already turned into a rainbow of gold, bronze and copper hues. Ah Fall! you love this time of year. It's just cold enough to wear sweat- shirts and shorts and The Premire Division Soccer League is in full swing. You continue to mull over your thoughts as you walk back to your dorm room. 'Yes', you say to yourself 'tonight its time to party...' As you enter your dorm, you can hear your suitemate, Erin, blaring Queens ryche. You decide to stop by and say hello. 'Whats up Erin?', you ask 'Hey its about time you got back, you ready to fry tonight?', he asks. You give him a quick smile and nod. Acid, you think to yourself.. Should I do it? Will it be safe? you wonder. You tell Erin that you're gonna go and get ready for tonight. As you enter your room, you flip through the TV, disgusted with the crap they put on the TV these days you plop in a tape of Kaiserslatern vs Brossia Dortmund. A few hours later, Erin, Wayne and Scott come over with some beer. "Are you gonna fry with us tonight?" Wayne asks "I dunno yet, I dont thi..." "Come on!", he interrupts you , "it'll be fun!" "Well...ok, I guess.", you stammer. He hands you a small piece of paper and tells you to place it under your tongue. You do as your told, open a beer and start drinking. After about an hour you get the feeling that your whole body is floating above you chair. "Uhhh, I think I'm having an out of body experience...", you slur. From somewhere far off you hear laughter. You open your eyes and stare about the room. Finally your eyes gaze upon a mirror..... "Hooooolllyyy SHIT!!!!" you scream! You jump out of your chair and bolt out the door. You find your self running through campus without any purpose, you just need to 'get out..' As you pass by the Archaeology building, you catch a faint blue glow in one of the windows. You shrug it off as a halicunation. As you pass by the window you see the light again, this time you know that its for real and being so messed up, you decide to investigate.... You make your way to the back of the building and try all the windows, but they all seem locked. You glance up and notice that one of the second story windows is open. You attempt to fly but to no avail so you decide to crawl up the side to the second floor. You make it to the window and climb inside. Once inside the room it takes you a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the dim light. It seems that you are in some sort of storage room, looking around you spot the door and head towards it. As you enter the hallway you spot a stairwell and head down to the first floor. At the bottom landing you find yourself in a long hallway with ancient artifacts, statues and other objects in display cases lining the walls.You proceed to walk down the hallway admiring your surround- ings. Finally you come upon a mighty oak wood door with a faint glow eminating from its seams. A plaque on the door reads : 'Ancient Civilization Laboratory' Throwing caution to the wind, you open the door.... As you enter the room you can see a single marble table in the center of the room. Upon it rests a deep blue stone, a dull blue light pulsating from it. Gazing upon the stone, your senses seem to clear up and a notion starts tugging you somewhere in your mind. Ever getting stronger as you keep staring in facination at the glow. You find yourself walking towards the stone and eventually reach the table. As your hand reaches out, your entire being screams out, this doesn't feel right...dont touch the stone! As your fingers grasp the orb, a bright flash of blue light envelopes the room. Your entire being feels like it is being ripped apart. You attempt to scream but darkness envelopes you too quickly...... Darkness..... Everything feels cool..peaceful.... Am I dead? you wonder.. You feel something...the sensation ever getting stronger... "...I said get up!" You attempt to open your eyes but you only see a blurred image.. Finally your vision clears and you see a huge man towering above you with what seems to be armor and a wicked looking sword in his right hand. "Get out of the road before I spill ye guts all over it!", He growls. You quickly crawl over to the side of the road. "What the hell is this?", you ask yourself, "..a bad trip?" You hear someone come near you.. before you can look up, a heavy object smashes you on your head. You fall to the ground..the last thing you hear before you pass out is.. "that'll teach em..."
