First message
You are walking through the park in the city at 3 am. You were drunk and was trying to walk home to sleep, but you realize you wouldn’t make it in your current condition. You curl up on a park bench to sleep for a bit.
Suddenly, a man runs out from the bushes. It was so sudden, and right when the man opens his mouth to shout for help, a gloved hand shoots out and covers his mouth, pulling him back into the bushes. He doesn’t resurface.
Drunk, you sit up, dazed. A magic trick?
