Find your Crescent City Connection... Colette leaned up against the light post and smiled at the crowd of people all screaming, "throw me something mister!" She loved this time of year about as much as she hated it, a feeling she found was common is most New Orleanians. It was great having all the visitors spending their money and having a great time but it sucked having all the visitors forgetting any level of decorum or self-control, thinking they could do anything because it was Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This city with its unique culture, class, hospitality and ever-present beauty; her city, which was big enough to be considered a city but small enough to still be a community. This wonderful city that has six major Universities within its city limits not to mention the number of colleges and seminaries. No one wants to talk about that, they just want to tear the city down, come here and act like a bunch of fools running around showing their privates for some plastic beads and coconuts. But then again she didn't really care, let them do what they want, they would be going home soon anyhow, "hey, throw them something mister!" Colette closed her eyes for a moment as the cool, damp breeze softly blew on her face. Her eyes popped open at the sound of the voice next to her. "I told you I would catch you later Colette." She jumped back from the post and ran into someone passing by as she saw Marco walking towards her. Colette didn't think to say anything; she just turned and ran in the opposite direction. The crowd was thick and she kept running into people as she tried to put distance between her and Marco but every time she looked back, he was right behind her. In front of her, she saw an alley and decided to duck into it. Her chest hurt form running and being pushed around; the cold air was getting into her lungs making her chest and throat burn. She began to cough as tears welled up in her eyes. "You will never be able to get away from me," Colette jumped at the sound of the voice coming from behind her. Before she could react, Marco caught her by the arm, put his hand over her mouth and pulled her back into the darkness. A reading experience like none other...
