I woke up out of hunger, I checked my phone, it was 3pm. But it doesn't seem right. If it was 3pm..why is the sky dark? It feels more like 12-3am. I didn't mind it. I checked my notifications and messages, there's nothing new.
I got up and went to the fridge, I got some leftover graham. I sat on the table and took a bite...it didn't taste as good as it was before. Me and Enne ate this for brunch, no way it's already rotten. Not only the taste is off, it doesn't feel real too.
To be honest, nothing feels real. It's *too* quiet and I feel like there's no one around here. I felt like I was the only person existing at the moment.
I was sure that I was eating the graham...my hunger didn't go away. I was still hungry, I was biting a whole chunk. The graham isn't graham anymore. Once I take a bite it revives its missing piece immediately. I don't know what's happening, but what I do know is that I took my Meds.
Am I in a dream? Am I just light headed? Did I take the wrong pills? I was jumping into conclusions. I gave up trying to feed myself and went to the bathroom. I didn't know why I went there...I just wanted to be somewhere claustrophobic and narrow...
...I was sitting on the ground thinking about what I should do. It wasn't long until my head started to hurt. Is there something wrong with the air? My head? What's going on?
I didn't know which to believe. It wasn't long until I heard someone enter the house. The door screeched near me, the footsteps...there wasn't any. But I can feel someone walking towards me.
I heard a knock on the door. I was too anxious to even get up.
"...I wonk er'uoy ni ereht."
I can't understand what it's saying. But that's not Enne. The sound in its voice was deep and distorted. It's not human. I panicked, I couldn't focus. My mind was scattered, I was scared.
Everything went silent...once again.
I was breathing heavily. My heart was pounding. I couldn't function well...
...and then I woke up.
I *instantly* got up and went to the bedroom...I was laying on the couch. I picked up my phone and contacted Enne as fast as possible.
[ Terrance: Enne come home now ]
[ Enne: O? What's wrong? Did the cats disappear? ]
[ Terrance: Nono that's not it. Please just come home, hurry please ]
[ Enne: Ok-ok I'm asking my boss permission rn, calm down ]
Thirty minutes passed, Enne made it home. I was sitting on my bed, biting my nails and shaking my leg out of anxiety.
Enne walked in the room.
"Hey...Is there something you nee-"
"Enne...come here"
He walked over to me and sat on the floor. He tilted his head in curiosity.
"Did...something happen..?"
"..."
I stayed silent for a second trying to figure out what to say.
"...I had a dream..it terrified me. I thought..."
"Terrance?"
"..."
"It's all going to be fine."
I heard Enne's comforting...warm voice once again. He's a friend I need. He's a friend I desire. I don't ever want to leave him.
"It's a dream...nothing is real. Listen to me...nothing was real."
"...Yeah."
Nothing was real.
