Peter was a shy teenager who wanted to fit in and be accepted. He took some pills from a stranger on the subway in an attempt to appear outgoing, but didn't realize they were drugs. That night, Peter had nightmares about the girl he liked and the effects of the drugs caused him to fall out of bed. An ambulance then took Peter to the hospital where he would have to struggle to survive.

2.  Peter was a shy teenager, he
didn’t have many friends and
he was ready to do everything
to be accepted by other people.
He had had an unhappy
childhood: his parents were
separated, so he and his
brother moved from house to
house like a parcel. This
situation had influenced their
growth greatly.

3. One day while Peter was walking
to school through the tall
skyscrapers of New York, similar
to a steel and glass canyon, he met
some of his schoolmates and at
once he thought that it was a good
chance to get to know each other
better

4. In the group was a girl he really liked, her name
was Daphne.
The girl always wore dark clothes and put on
too much make- up to enhance her beautiful
features, but behind that mask there was a weak
girl who was afraid to show other people her
true self.

5. The teenagers entered a subway, suddenly a
man with a persuasive voice came up to them
and offered them some tablets similar to
candies. Some boys took the candies, others,
refused. Peter took them to appear outgoing.

6. After swallowing the pills, he felt better, but he
didn’t know it was drug. When Peter returned
home, his mother noticed his look was
different. She was really worried about his son,
then she warned him about the dangers of
meeting bad people who could harm him.

7. That night Peter’s mind was groggy with drugs
and when he fell asleep he dreamt Daphne’s
face that continuously changed like an endless
nightmare. He trembled with fear, covered in
sweat and unsettled because of the effects of
the pills he had swallowed. All at once he fell
out of bed and a loud shout broke the still of the
night.

8. Later the wail of the sirens was heard, an
ambulance was taking Peter to hospital. The
most difficult proof was waiting for him:
surviving.
