Suggested Music: Heartbeat Heartbreak “Ugh, this is why I wasn’t looking forward to coming to Toronto: the traffic jams!” Trieu complained. Cars were bumper to bumper on the Gardiner Expressway. The sun beamed down on everyone on this hot summer day. “Just bear with it a little longer. We’ll get to an exit soon enough.” Phuong replied while sitting behind the wheel. “Okay, but do you remember how to get to the new apartment after that? The Harbourview Estates, was it?” “Why are you giving me a hard time about this when you can’t even remember the name?” Johann barked from the back seat. He was enjoying the spectacle in front of him. Phuong and Trieu turned back from their seats up front to look at the dog. Since they were in a traffic jam and no cars were moving at the moment, it was safe to do so. Johann tilted his head in confusion. Phuong and Trieu looked at each other and turned their attention back to the traffic. “But seriously, this is one of the biggest reasons why I hate

Suggested Music: Funny “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Phuong screamed in terror when a monster jumped out from behind the corner and scared the daylights out of her. She clutched onto Linh’s leg in terror while still crying. “Noooooooooo!” She sobbed. “I don’t wanna do this anymore!” “Just hang in there, we’re almost at the exit.” Linh said while patting Phuong on the head. “How are you holding up, T--” Linh turned around to find Trieu on floor. He had fainted from shock. “Uh oh.” Linh and Phuong tiptoed over to Trieu. Linh scooped him up into her arms and turned back to their path. Phuong was still hanging onto Linh’s pants leg. “Alright, Phuong, stay behind me. We’ll get through this.” Phuong nodded and the two of them made their way to the exit of the haunted house. Phuong could not see through the darkness, so she stayed close to her aunt. Linh took her time since she had to carry Trieu. A werewolf jumped out from their left with a chilling howl. Phuong screamed and clung to Linh

Suggested Music: A King of Apathy “Kevin! I finally found you!” Trieu turned around to find an elderly Asian man in a red polo and khakis facing him. Everyone else walking down the street passed the two by. Trieu looked around for the Kevin that this grey-haired man was looking for. Nobody. He then looked back at the old man. “Who the hell is Kevin?” Trieu asked. “Stop fooling around, Kevin! It’s me, your father!” Kevin’s dad fired back. “Wait, what???” “And what are you doing, dressed like that? Are you trying to become a fashion model or something?” “You got the wrong gu--” “Do you have any idea how much your mother and I have worried about you?” Trieu paused to assess the situation. “Okay, clearly this old geezer thinks I’m his son.” Trieu thought to himself. “Is he trying to pull a fast one on me? Or is there another reason he’s doing this? Either way, I’m sure I can duck out if things get too hairy.” He sighed and scratched his head. “I’m sorry about that, dad. I was just

Suggested Music: Fang Marked Viper “Ow! Hey!” Before Phuong could reprimand the man who bumped into her any further, he shoved a small present into her hands. “Here, take this!” He instructed. “What? Why?” Phuong asked. “Just do it. Take it to the university’s computer science building. A man in a Raptors jersey and cap will take it from you there. Now get going!” With that, the man ran off down the street before Phuong could stop him. She looked down at the present in her hands with a confused look, wondering what was inside. But before she could pry into it, she noticed a group of men running towards her. They were coming from the same direction as the man from earlier. “She’s got the box! Get her!” Phuong turned around without a second thought and hightailed it out of there. She dodged and weaved through the crowds to put more distance between her and herpursuers. They pushed through the crowds to get to her, adamant in retrieving the present in her possession. Phuong kept

Suggested Music: Unreleased OST 19 “We’re here. Your new home.” Linh shifted the car into park and shut it off. She stepped out and opened the passenger doors for her niece and nephew. Phuong and Trieu stepped out of the car, looking anxious. They walked over to the front door of the townhouse that was now their home. They stopped right in front of it, unsure of how to feel about all this. Linh came up from behind, crouched down, and patted them both on their heads. “Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Linh reassured them. “I’ll do what I need to make this a safe and happy place for us to live.” She stood back up and walked up to the front door. Linh swung the screen door open while she reached into her pocket. She pulled out her keys and unlocked the door, then waved the two children inside. Phuong and Trieu did as they were instructed and entered through the front door. They took their shoes off when they entered and placed them aside outside the closet to their right.

Suggested Music: Wandering Flame “Not exactly my first choice, but I need sleep, now.” Trieu yawned as he turned at the blue sign with a big red 6 on it. He pulled up to the front doors of the motel and shifted the car into park. Phuong and Johann awoke from their slumber to see where they were. “Wait here, I’ll get us a room.” Trieu unbuckled his seat belt and hopped out of the car before entering the motel. Phuong turned her head towards the back seats. “You okay, Johann?” Phuong asked in a groggy voice. Johann poked his head in between the driver and passenger seats and licked Phuong’s hand. She pulled her hand and petted Johann, managing a smile. “Just a little longer, Johann, and we can all go to bed and put this awful night behind us.” Phuong scratched Johann behind the ears to help him relax. Just as he started to go back to sleep again, his ears perked up. Phuong noticed this and turned over to the motel doors. Trieu walked out holding a pair of key cards in his hand and
