It begins as all good stories do; on the top of a speeding train. I am there on a mission from the governor, to track and kill a dangerous man. There are soldiers walking along the top of the train ahead of me, assigned to the mission as well. For a moment, I think about what I will do next. Suddenly, the soldiers to toward me. They look nervous. Their guns are no longer at their sides, but pointed at me.
I am the dangerous man.
I charge them and they disappear, only to reveal an oncoming bridge that looks like the walkways to an airplane. I slam into it, bending the sheet metal walls and pass out.

I wake up, and the impact has separated me from the body of that dangerous man. I am myself again. A woman is next to me, and she is tearing up with Joy.

"He's going to marry me!" She says.

"He gave me this necklace! It's from the jewelers in the big city, and he made it disappear."

So that's what he does. He makes things disappear. And now he's disappeared himself.
I start walking past her down the road. It's getting dark, and as I walk I hear music. I go up a staircase into a park and find an incredible skate park. Massive half pipes, colour under lighting on everything, it's a skater's dream. Too bad I don't skate.

I'm pretty sure that at this moment I became lucid. Everything was so vivid. I was looking around, listening to how the music echoed off the curved walls and looking at the highschoolers hanging out here way past their curfews. Why was I here, wearing this dark hoodie and hiding myself? I didn't really know. I started to walk out of the park and down the road. I stopped to look back a some teens that were on the sidewalk. They were all regular kids, and one girl had some very short shorts on. It was like real life. The lighting from the street lamps, the cool of the night air. Everything.


After that I pulled out google maps to see how far that train had taken me from home. Far.

I would be in for a long walk. Instead, I walked into a pet store nearby. Inside I was playing with all of these small squid and shrimp and fish, looking in their tanks. Suddenly a bouncer came and tried to kick me out. He said I was missing the stamp for the place. There are like 5 bar stamps on my hadn and none of them are for this place. Rats.

My parents show up. My mother puts on such a fuss of how great the shop is that the bouncer leaves me alone. Take that, asshole.

Simon and Arshia show up out of the blue, and I get ready to go with them back home.

My alarm goes off.
