My Mind is the Scene of the Crime

Ever had a secret that you could tell NOBODY in your life? Not even your best friend? What if he or she was the very cause of it?

Reality or just a figment of your imagination? Dreams, intentions, secrets, all harbored by the heart can torment one's soul. It strikes within you, cutting deeper than any blade ever can. Of course, each and every individual has their very own secrets, personal vendettas that need to be settled. Crimes one would perpetuate if they had the means to escape with it. Gunshots fill the air, horns blaring in the distance, the sound of glass breaking as they're stained with blood erupt all over. Sounds like the scene for the perfect crime.

Now most of us would refute that they had deep dark secrets, picturing themselves to be untainted. Who would go against being the perfect person anyways. Nevertheless, I am no different. Who knew, that secretly, beneath the illusion of normality that I secretly want to "get rid" of my best friend.

Through the eyes of most people, we would have seemed like the best of friends. We laughed, we hung out, we shared inside jokes with each other. I was kind of like the "distant" kid way back in school and he was kind of too. Being friends meant keeping a delicate balance, and we managed to work it out and have been inseparable since. Through thick and thin, we've stuck together, watching each other's backs.

However, lately he's been acting strange towards me. We're no longer as close as we used to be and slowly I noticed everyone drifting away from me, treating me like an outsider. I did some snooping around and some people have told me that he's been spreading rumours behind my back. Hearing that stunned me. It hasn't been proven yet but I'm starting to doubt him. I have no idea why he would treat me in such a way as I've never wronged him before in my life. The facts hasn't been confirmed but my trust has been shaken like never before.

I never want this thought to be stolen, to be leaked out where people will judge me for being too paranoid.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception. Now for a brief plot summary, otherwise known as a synopsis.

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse; their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.
This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
