Five Cliffhanger Introductions

I woke up and immediately began to frantically search for my backpack in the darkness.

I was laughing hysterically, probably the most I have ever laughed, in amazement and disbelief that what we made worked.

When I looked at the clock it was 2 am already, and I could not believe I let this happen again.
