The House
He awoke tied to a chair. He opened his eyes, trying to adjust his vision to the dark. From the musty smell mixed with the scent of death, it wasn't good. Waking up to tied to a chair was already bad enough, but that wasn't the part that made him panic. He looked around the room, realizing that he was in the basement. When he was dragged down there, he briefly remembered how the men laughed when they let his head bang against the stairs going down. He could still feel a slight pain in the back of his head.

Something Is Beginning, I Think
The bus station in Cedar Falls smelled like burnt coffee and wet pavement. Rain had stopped about twenty minutes earlier, leaving the parking lot glazed in a dull silver shine beneath the streetlights. A Greyhound bus idled near the far curb, its engine humming like it had been there forever and might stay forever if no one told it otherwise.
