Time was passing slowly, and the woman was becoming restless. Her new obsession was causing a great feeling of unease to spread through her consciousness. She understood the risks, but with the rising level of contempt towards herself came a new found excitement that she had never known in her previous life. With her desires growing uncontrollably by the minute, she finally decided to act upon them; however, she had no method of doing so. The woman would need help, yet she couldn't just talk to anyone. Upon investigation, she slipped into the underground world leading her to contact the leader of an extremely shady and dangerous syndicate. Relief began to overcome her when the thought of her obsession being quenched reached her. This relief was capable of blinding her to the obvious dangers that come with contacting and underground syndicate, but she was finally able to rid herself of the melancholy of her everyday life.

She quickly hid the object of her desired in her purse and returned to her car. It was now 3 am, much later then she expected. With caution she began to drive, making sure not to get in trouble with the authorities when in the distance she saw a car. This was not just an ordinary car; it was a yellow car. The one thing she could not stand in this world was yellow cars. The thought of people driving yellow cars filled her with such rage that she went on a rampage crashing into everything in sight. After hitting everything that she could see, she found herself in a Walmart parking lot.

With her rage still growing uncontrollably, she decided to take her vengeance upon Walmart and
crash her car through the side. Excitement filled her as she crashed through the wall and began to destroy everything, but this excitement soon turned to fear when she realized that she had become surrounded by the syndicate. With merciless zeal, the syndicate took not only the object which she had desired, but everything in her possession.

It was at this time that she realized that the yellow car was set up by the syndicate, and they had never planned on letting her have the relief that she was seeking. Distraught she began to walk home, yet because of the massive damage caused on her road rage rampage she was arrested. Although she was never convicted of carrying this illegal object, or negotiating with the syndicate, the damage she had caused gave her a life sentence.
