I'm in a white room. The only things I can see are off in the distance, but no matter how long I walk, I just get farther away from them. A voice breaks the silence.

"Did you tell him?" His voice sounds urgent, as if time is limited.

"Who? Wait what? What did I tell?"

"Did you tell him?" The man's same tone is repeated as if he's a recording.

"No. I do not know what you are talking about."

"You're lying!" The man disappears and again I am alone. This time though, I'm in my room at my house. Across from me I see two items. A knife and a book that looks like an encyclopedia.

"Choose." A stern voice that sounds like the body it belongs to is even fiercer says. I am unaware of what is going on, so the best thing to do is-

I hear growling behind me, causing me to tense up. I slowly turn my head only to see a giant rabid dog. My muscles tense and my throat becomes dry. I can hear the beating of my heart as I have stare down with this beast. One blink could cause deadly consequences. I hear footsteps.

"Oh look! It's a dog!" My sister. Her steps become quicker and the dog turns. His muscles contract as he gets into a leap ready stance. I hear a childish from my sister. As the dog pounces my thoughts no longer register and my heart rate picks up. Before I can realize what I am doing, I jump in front of my sister.

I feel the gnashing of teeth and claws. Then I see bright bright lights, white walls, and feel the cold metal of a chair on my skin.
