I have finished my breakfast about an hour ago and a the moment, I am lounging around in my fabric couch.

I glance at the expensive almost-antique watch that rests on the wrist of my left arm. It is in pristine condition and I take great pride in the magnificent 'accessory'.

The watch sates that the time is 12:49 AM.

The hands of the watch entwine and curl in the most captivating ways and form intricate patterns.

I put a bookmark in my novel and stretch my back. I place my pipe on a little dish I have dedicated to the thing and rest my book right beside it.

When I stand up and I caught a glance of something very bright shine momentarily.

This is quite odd because there is nothing other than the TV and things that are only temporarily in the room that could shine.

I shrug it off and grab my plate, crumbs scattered all over the fine, porcelain china-dish. It is mainly a very bright white but dark gold lines interweave like vines, majestically, to form stunning repeating patterns. A dark-blacky-brown rim fences off the bowl.

I carefully make my way over to the kitchen and place the bowl/plate next to the sink so I can clean it later ; probably tomorrow.

I go to leave the room and get dressed to leave the house

(Times skip cus why not)

As I am tucking in the neat shirt underneath my elegant suit, I reach for the door handle after turning my keys in the door but the handle seems jammed.

I try a few more times, becoming slightly unnerved due to my claustrophobia, before I resort to frantically kicking at the delicate wooden door. Soon after I realize that the door seems to be heavily reinforced.

I panic at this observation;beads of sweat trickling down my forehead.

I try the windows next but the same situation applies to them as well.

Suddenly, I remember my CCTV security camera system.

'I could see what is blocking the door!' I exclaim internally.

I swiftly pace up to my giant master bedroom. A king-sized bed rests, leaning on the farthest wall. Several plush pillows lay on top of the freshly-made quilt. Wooden beams surround the bed, intertwining with each other. A firm yet absorbent mattress sits upon the bed. The whole scene of my homely bedroom is very inviting to have a nap but not right now.

I head into the en-suit and open the laptop containing all of my research and cases.As I log in and look at all of my applications, I select the one that shows all of my security cameras.

When the window pops up, everything seems fine other than the absolute motionlessness of everything.

The security footage calms me slightly, but not entirely. I decide to take a nap and I don't bother removing my clothing either as when I wake up, I still plan on leaving the house.

Just as I am about to lay down, I notice something blue on my ceiling. As I look at the object in question I cannot determine what it ism so I grab a mop from the corner of my room and poke the anomaly with it. My mop suddenly turns blue and starts to dissolve before my eyes.

I sum up this strange occurrence to sleep loss as I have been struggling to get a good rest due to a stressful work case recently. 

I jump onto my bed and I'm out in an instant.
