Chapter #4Trial run by: Unknown You woke up that morning feeling more alert and excited than you ever have been in all your entire lifetime! Glancing at the curtains, you wished that the first streak of dawn would come and allowed you to fulfill your fantasy and curious mind. Time seemed to bide its time.
