STUCK

I slowly began to slip into consciousness with a throbbing headache,I raised my heavy eyelids halfway only for them to fall shut as I fumbled tying the belt on my night gown."There wasn't one"I thought as I raised my eyelids again and swung my bare feet on the ground.The room swayed causing me to loose balance so I reached out for the wall,my hands slipped and I slumped on the rug with a crashing thud .

I used the bedstead to pull myself up and that's when I heard the toilet flush.This made things less vague and that's when it dawned on me that something was very wrong;for starters,I wasn't alone and I live alone.This wasn't my bed,my bedspread wasn't cream with a touch of blue and wine inlaid with a thick blue duvet.My curtains would never be white,the kind of white devoid of touch.

"Oh...estás despierto"A man stepped out of the toilet and that's when I began to panic not knowing where I was and who the man was."Qué pasa? estás empezando a asustarme...I shouldn't have let you drink so much last night"His english laced with thick accent.

"Yes...yes...last night...at the bar"I kept speaking in low and high tone e as he nodded in agreement.My memories begin to flood in remembering going to the new bar with Shola,Femi and Lizzy,we had a couple of shots but...

"Selena!" He yelled snapping me out of my thoughts as he walked towards me,I instinctively moved backwards bumping into a mirror and a light tan skinned woman stared right at me.I gasped "No way!,This has to be a dream"I stared wide eyed at my reflection."This isn't me"I muttered.My eyes aren't blue,they're dark brown.My skin wasn't light,it was brown;the colour of sand,smooth and tawny. I'm sure as hell my parents won't name me Selena,it was too Spanish for a Nigerian.

"Si esta es tu idea de Una broma ur broma no es gracioso,de todos modos preparate idejamos Tijuana por cinco"he kept speaking this language as he walked out.I understood one word -TIJUANA

"Tijuana! ...oh my God!...I think I'm in Mexico"I gasped.

They were all painted in leaf green and their souls were blood red.Some might say its all colour but we know it’s something worse.
