Experiment #4

Experiment #4(Write a page 'median res' of a story) By Kenneth Marshall

Everything was beginning to come into focus for Ben. He realized the answers to everything that was a problem in his life. Yet Ironically, his focused view was only for but a moment. The attacker swung and hit Ben once again directly across his right upper jaw line. Ben blacked out...

When Benjamin Walker woke up, he opened his eyes slowly while he groaned and sighed, thinking in his brain that, one:his wedding ring was missing from his finger, and two: he couldn't remember the night before... Ben finally opened his eyes fully, and by fully--to a jumped and hungover man-- that meant squinting intensely.

Somehow with all the confusion going around and around in Ben's boozed and bruised head, he still felt like whatever transpired last night was for a reason. He mustered up the energy to sit up and assess his embarrassing situation.

Ben was wearing a silver tuxedo with a blue collared shirt underneath. His shirt and jacket both had minor blood and dirt on them, most likely due to his location being the middle of an industrial park. He could see that familiar highway running past it, making him feel just a little bit of happiness.

After getting up and scrambling through his various pockets to realize that none of his belongings were on his person anymore, he took another confused look around the buildings and different colored construction vehicles.

Ben started slowly limping towards the main road out of the industrial park, not enjoying any aspect of the adventure ahead of him. The road turned left and up, very steeply, toward the highways of his oh so familiar city of Wratten. And again, everything at a second glance became seemingly dull.

Some could say it was his hangover kicking in or it was his anxiety of getting mugged and not knowing if it could be more than that, but for Ben, not having his wedding ring was making his whole situation ten times more unbearable...
