Dreamers

Pilot

Two boys are sitting in a bus with notebooks in their laps. One is wearing a flannel shirt and has long black hair, the other has glasses and he has a tan complexion, he is also a lot taller. 

"My name is Patrick, I don't know why, but I'm always searching for something, for someone. In my dreams, there was a girl I knew and every time I fell asleep I'm in the city looking for her." 

"Do you remember what this girl looks like? Maybe if we identify some characteristics we could get an idea of where to look or when to look?" The other boy writes in his notebook, he takes his glasses off and thinks of what Patrick is writing about.

Patrick is just a freshman that goes to Gallup High School in Gallup NM. It is January 15 2018, but around November, was when he began to start writing his dreams down in his dream diary. He feels like there is a strong reason for him to be having these dreams constantly, he is trying to get all the clues down, and is talking to strangers he met online to see if they could help. The one he is talking to at the moment is named Michael and he is a senior at his high school.

"I am not sure, it is like I am looking at a shadow but from what i recall-" Patrick looks in his notebook. "The girl I'm calling finally turned around, and I called her name, s...... an...

"San?" Patrick pauses to think about the name.  "That is a really weird name, but I have been having weird dreams so I guess it makes sense."

"Wait, maybe you are just remembering parts of it. San, is a clue. It could possibly start with S, so names like Sandra, Sondra, Sam, Shannon."  Michael thinks for a second. 

'Yeah, I believe there is a reason why I'm having these dreams, and every morning I write down what I dreamt about. I feel I gained a skill from doing this. I'm able to recall what I dreamt of without writing it down, although I continue to write down what I remember just in case."

The boys get off the bus and continue talking about Patricks dreams, it isn't just the mysterious girl he is looking for, but he also keeps dreaming about talking cats, of the end of the world, it is like he is in the future when he sleeps, something he is trying to comprehend.

They continue chatting. and a crow is cawing from above so loud, and suddenly a notebook falls to the ground from behind,

Caw! Caw! The crow screeched before being followed by other crows and flying off. 

Michael turns around. "Did it throw trash on the ground?"

Patrick looks at the black notebook, and he sees an image of a girl for a second kneeling down. above her the clouds appear to be time lapsing, and slowly turning green, but he stays focused on the girl, she is a tall light complected figure, with long  hair, green eyes and bright red lipsticks. She catches Patrick staring at her, and gives him a smile.

Krshh Krshh 

Internally, like the sound of an old television, or rather the tearing of paper shredding, Patrick hears the sound, and the view in front of him is warped, and suddenly the girl is gone. Patrick twitches his left eye, and he gets the shivers. 

Michael notices Patrick shaking and he does not do or say anything. He lets him gaze upon the notebook.

He might be getting a clue, I'd hate to intrude.

Patrick, takes a deep breath and decides to walk over closer to the book.

"Patrick, what did you see?" Michael asked him

"A girl with long orange hair, she had bright red lipstick and looked very tall and light complected. " Patrick tries to recall what he sees. Michael reaches in his notebook to write the description down.  Patrick does the same, he begins to write In his notebook

Caw!

A crow screeches.

"Look out!" Michael pulls Patrick towards him. Patrick loses grip of his book and the  crow snatches it away. Patrick and Miachel chase it before it begins to disappear  off into the distance.

"Dang, I spent the past 2 months writing in it."

Patrick sighs.

"You know, what if this was like that anime, Death note. Remember?" Michael chuckles while writing the details and the time, 7:30 AM January 15th, Patrick loses notebook after seeing a tall  girl.

Patrick smirks. "Yeah right." He gets the book and the bell rings. 

"You can hold onto it man, we can look at it later."

"Maybe I'll check it out in the first hour." HIs reading class is pretty laid back so he calls them free days, where he can read anything and just summarize it, and just as expected it was what happened.

Patrick opens the book.

"Dream diary, Susan Ellison?"

"Susan"

"Suuuuuu-san?"

"San!"

Patrick mutters to himself her name 4 times.

"This has to be a coincidence, a dream diary by a girl with the name *San* In it... And she is my classmate."

Patrick skims the book and goes to the last update. January 15. That is interesting, her last update was today, at 5:30pm? Maybe she meant to write A.M. I wonder if she goes to this school?He goes to the start of the book to check the date and notices it starts in November as well, the same time he started journaling in his diary.

"S....an... The voice that constantly called him when he was dreaming, it can barely be heard.

the scream from so far away."

This is so familiar,  actually this is my dream from this morning!

Patrick stops reading and puts his head down.

"I have to see Susan, find out who she is."

He whispered to himself, and tried to draw a sketch of the girl that was kneeling before the notebook earlier.

I don't know how Susan looks, but for a fact I know she does not have Orange hair.  He continues to study the book, the notes and the dates and is surprised to see an entry with his name in it.

January, 01,

I had the same dream of Patrick. The thought of him terrifies me, and I can't believe a guy like him is haunting my everyday dreams. I can't even bring myself to write the events of what happened, I am sorry, it is all my fault. I found out his true identity, and it only ended in tragedy, he does not know who I am, but I still wanted to say hi,

Patrick is shocked at the entry, she knows who he is, and it may be possible that they could have possibly crossed paths before.
