Frozen Reality for Money

Chapter 4: Greetings

Strangely I was greeted by a man who seemed to be... Perhaps in the lower class. "I'll help you get out of this fake world, it's me Caleb your husband in the real world, this isn't a real world it's all fake... She tricked you... And me, I thought you were dead, just trust me." He gobbled on about. "Hold your horses man!" I put my arms out before me. "WE REALLY, REALLY don't have much time, PLEASE! Listen Carol!" The strange man put his hands heavily on my shoulders. He seemed very desperate. "I-I'm sorry! I can't help you! I am NOT this "Carol" person you need! I'm Cheryl Burdings" I angrily pushed him away. I stormed off. "Carol..." His voice seemed weak this time. A tear rolled down his face. "I knew... the moment Renee contacted us... This was the end. PLEASE, if you want to live in real life, with me, not a lie in here, take my hand" "I don't know what your logic applies to but THIS is real life!" I surely said. I had enough of this man's nonsense. What was he talking about anyways? As if the world was an alternative universe. "Look, I don't know a Carol. Never in my life ever" I shook my head and took off. "I'm telling you, Renee set us up for this, that "childhood friend" is nothing but evil!" The man yelled. "Renee...?" My thoughts went straight to a grave... What was this? I was going crazy, I had never seen such a grave before. "That name doesn't ring the bell" I rolled my eyes. "Please listen" He held me in place with a lot of force. "Did anything come to mind when you heard that name?" He looked very serious. "Fine. A grave did. That's all, no other context!" I brushed his hands off. "That's it. Renee was probably your childhood friend here too, but she died so that's why you can't remember!" The man, apparently called Caleb, clicked his fingers. "But that doesn't matter now, what matters is that your life is in great danger, Carol"
"CAROL! Please! If you want to live then follow me, there is a game with a prize of money and ESCAPE! They promised me so" The man tried to convince me. As I was about to turn away, my ear caught the word "money". "How much?" "30 million" He smiled. "Follow me then, please honey..." He seemed to be tearing up but I couldn't care less. I just got out of jail and I couldn't get into more trouble... But... Before I knew it I was getting dragged at an extraordinary pace as I gasped for air. "LET ME GO YOU CREEP YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS" I screamed. "Oh please Carol I'm helping you... Nevertheless Carol, please call me Caleb" Caleb looked over to me just to see me jeering back at him.
