Coincidental Items
I was sitting at home when I heard such a clatter, upon the roof. It sounded as if something had crashed into it. Then, a dragging sound. Next, the door bell rang. I went to the door to investigate. It was 4 am and I wasn't expecting a package or a guest until later. As I opened the door, I see a colorful LED illuminated drone flying away. Lying at my feet on the door step, a package. It is wrapped in silver paper with a gold bow. I peer over the door threshold skeptical it's a distraction set to ensnare me. Once its presumed safe, I pull the package inside. I neatly unwrap the paper, remove the tape, and open the lid to reveal its contents. Inside is a hodgepodge of items: a rubber band, a trash bag, a dryer sheet, a small jar of cumin, a stamp, and a blue ink pen.

Kinetic Stream
A foggy hangover feel existed in her brain. She rubbed her eyes until she could comfortably keep them open. She could see the tops of 5 other heads from where she was seated. All sitting in a seat same as she was. The seats were grey pho leather with dark grey stitching. The seat read Kinetic Stream with lines coming from it, giving it the appearance of speeding forward.

T-Line
T-Line Chapter 1 Her eyes flickered open and shut like a shutter on an old camera. Eyelids heavy. How long had she been asleep? She didnt even remember falling asleep. In fact she could recall no memories up to her current position. Once her eyes were fully open, focused and able to take in input to make sense of it she became aware of her body in the space. She wiggled her toes. She had to remember how to stand and walk for a brief moment before attempting the feat. She must have been sitting upright in this pedestrian carrier seat for hours.

Inner Dragon
The vessel gained momentum. The heat was rising so she blasted the air. The rush of cool air helped to disguise the situation. Making it more comfortable. Batons, hands and fists banged the side as she sped on. Bottles clanking the ground as they were tossed from the window. Plink, plank, shatter a rhythm heard almost a tune to a beat it was so patterned and regular in time. Like the patter of rain on a car roof.
