Chapter 1: Lucid Dream
At school…
Mira: Ugh… It's so irritating...our professor gave us homework… and what's more annoying is it's math…. it's sooo hard and i really hate math! I want to go to beach instead of doing this homework…
Sandy: Yeah I know right… I just want to relax and have some good sleep this whole weekend…
Hi.. I'm Sandy…. I'm a college student in a not so prestigious unversity…
I'm talking to Mira, one of my friends and classmate in this university.. We're talking about what we would do this weekend while we go home…
Mira: Well then… See you monday sissy…
Sandy: Yeah.. See you…
I said goodbye to Mira as we part ways…
After highschool.. many of my closest friends transferred in another university far away from here… We still communicate through instagram and facebook but it's not like before… Even if I talked to them online I feel lonely… As I think about my childhood… I don't really remember if I have friend when I was a child… I don't even have a faint clue what my childhood life looks like… I don't remember my childhood since after that incident…
My mom told me that I have an accident when I was a child and that accident also killed my father and that's the reason why I don't remember my childhood memories… But she won't tell me what happen back then… I'm just curious…. That something from my life was missing… I just don't know what is it…

Sandy: I'm home..! woah something smells great… did you cooked my favorite dish, mom?
Mom: yes.. It's your favorite pasta… You should wash yourself first…
Sandy: okay mom..
At last I could rest this weekend… after all the homework is easy for me…
But I still feel empty and lonely even my mom's with me…
Mom: The dinner's serve honey… come down so we can eat…
Sandy: Okay… I will go down…
After dinner my mom goes to bed first while I stay behind in the living room.. watching korean shows..
I look at the clock… I saw it was 12 in the midnight…
Oh it's already late… I should head back into my room now… or my mom would be mad if she sees me… As I lay down on bed… I was still thinking bout my Childhood past… wishing I could remember it… My eyes feel heavy… I'm falling asleep slowly… My thought became blur… I'm having some flash backs I didn't recall… Then I heard a sound of like a gong repeatedly… What is this…feeling… Then I'm fast asleep before I know it…
When I woke up… It's total darkness… I feel like suffocating…. I hate darkness… I've had this phobia as long as I remember… But why do I feel that I'm in a dream… But it felt so real… I shut my eyes again... But I hesitate to open my eyes… I startled when someone spoke….
Guy 1: Are you gonna open your eyes or not?..
Guy 2: Hey you're scaring her…
Girl: Hi… I know you're confused… We're also baffled just like you…
Guy 2: I think the guy beside you is still asleep…. can you wake him up?
When I turn to my side I saw a young guy sleeping peacefully beside me…
He looks so beautiful… Then he opens his eyes… his eyes are beautiful…
the color of his eyes are scarlet red…
Guy 3: What are you looking at!?
Guy 2: Hey! Hey! Don't be so rude to her…
The guy with scarlet eyes scoffed… He's looking right through me… as if he's judging my looks…
Girl: Hi, I'm Samantha…
Sandy: Nice to meet you… I'm Sandy…
Guy 2: I'm Chan…. This my friend..
Guy 1: I'll introduced myself… I'm Sean.. You! What's your name?
Guy 3: Are you talking to me?
Sean: Yes… You haven't introduced yourself…
Guy 3: Do I need to?
Chan: Hey… We're just asking your name… There's nothing wrong about that…
Guy 3: Fine.. I'm Kyle… Now are we done at introductions?
Sandy: Yeah, I think so…
Kyle: By the way, where are we? Where the hell is this place?
Sean: We also don't know… From what I remember I was studying for my exams… then I saw the time on the clock… It's already 12 midnight…
Chan: Me too.. I was playing mobile games when I saw the time on the clock.. It's exactly 12 midnight… Then I fell asleep..
Sandy: So all of us sleep at the same time?
Samantha: I think so… Look! There's a clock but I think it's not working…
Kyle: NO.. I don't think so… It's just fixed on 12midnight… the same time we enter this dream…
Chan: How did you know we're in a dream?
Kyle: I'm the first one to arrive here… I tried to wake up but I can't…
Sandy: But why are we here? Wait this place looks familiar…
Sean: That's what I'm about to say… This place feels awfully familiar…
We should plan how we can get out of here…
Kyle: Since when you became the leader? You sound like you're bossing us around…
Chan: At least one of us want to lead…
Samantha: Sean is right… We should figure out what happened to us and why we are here..
Suddenly we hear a woman shrieking cries and scream… making them shudder and trembling…
Chan: Who is that?! It's creeping me out…
Sandy: Maybe she needs help…
Sean: Help!? We don't even know who she is and where are we…
Kyle: Be prepared… We know one thing is for sure… This isn't just ordinary dream…
As we were talking… The door creaks open… Sending shivers to our spine.. We saw a woman in middle age… wearing a white dress covered in blood... The blood gushes from the woman's mouth… making the five of us retch in disgust…
Woman: Why did you do this to me!!!! You are my child!!!! WHY!!!!!!!
Her eyes were leering at us… With cursing eyes… But as I follow her gaze it landed on Samantha… Samantha's frozen… only looking at the woman whom she suddenly recognized…
Samantha: I DIDN'T KILL YOU… I DIDN'T KILL YOU!!!!! I'M JUST IMAGINING YOU!!!
YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD!!!!
Woman: WHY?! WHY!? I ONLY LOVE YOU.. YOU'RE MY CHILD!!!!
Samantha: NO!!!!! I'M NOT YOUR CHILD!!! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!!!!
Just then a man with no face appeared and he's holding a scissor bigger than his hands and stab Samantha multiple times… killing her instantly… we began to get out of the room… scared out of wits… but as we run for our lives… we can hear woman's creepy hysterical laugh…. while running we instantaneously hear a gong soundlike.. making us fall and faint…
I woke up in my bedroom…
Sandy: Ohmygod…. That dream felt real…
Mom: You've slept for more than 12hrs… Are you tired?
Sandy: No, I'm fine…
I went to the living room to watch tv… But as I open it I saw the news of a girl died while sleeping… there's no sign of poison or injury…. blood gushing through her mouth… I'm astonished to see who the girl was… It was Samantha… so my dreams are real…. I saw her in my dream…
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY DREAMS? AM I NEXT TO DIE?….
