The Loop

By: Andrew Lou

Richmond is a place filled with crazy people and things that could only seem fake. This secret place Richmond is, located in Las Vegas, has become a new online sensation. Celebrities from all over America have tried to find a way or a clue that this place exists.

Bob is a 40-year-old man living in a typical house in Las Vegas. He recently heard about the news on TV and got excited about the place. He remembers that when he was still in college, he worked for a trash collecting company, and one day he was in an alleyway delivering trash. He accidentally walked into a town named Richmonde, where crazy things happened. He thought his lunch caused it and imagined things, but now that he thought of it, it could’ve been real.

Bob decides to join the people and start investigating on his own. That day he went to an alleyway and found nothing but a lone shoe and slippers with pizza stuck on with random duct tape; that’s when he noticed a man wearing swim trunks, a heavy coat, slippers, and a scarf. It was a weird thing to wear since it is summer. Bob decides to avoid the man thinking either Bob himself is going mad or the other person has issues.

A week later, Bob has made no progress except finding a Rolex in a trash bin, getting scared by a house of raccoons, accidentally falling into a trash bin, and, most peculiar, meeting the weird-fashioned man every day. Bob suddenly realizes something strange is going on. Every day he goes to a similar alleyway where something bizarre happens, and he meets a man with a weird fashion; that’s when he gets worried about being stuck in a loop. He tries to repeat what he did before and succeeds. He continues like this but soon finds out he lives in Richmond and stops going to alleyways. He gets rich doing the “impossible”(using the loop as his advantage and getting money) and lives happily in a little shack by the beach.
