STATEMENT of PURPOSE A young lady was walking to a pool party with the newest limited edition Louis Vuitton bag, while she was noticing everyone around her were full of jealousy in their eyes. After she got drunk, she accidently fell into the pool. However, the time she woke up, she found herself in a different world, a wild space without anybody. Suddenly, she became so nervous and ran with her bag in a panic. Is it just the girl’s illusion? Is the girl traveling to her parallel universal? Or someone in the party played bad tricks on her?
