I remember when the girls at my school were big on speaking there own minds. But I could never speak anything from my own mind, it would be considered instant one way trip to LOCAN. Even my brother was sad about it, but then came the day when we had a talk about dreams in class.

"Hey! Did you know, that no one can see people's dreams?!" One of the girls in my class exclaimed.

"Really! That explains why I always act differently..." Said one of the boys, which he mumbled out loud.

I got interested, and began my own research into dreams. I know I should do homework and catch up with the school work I've been missing out on. But it got me thinking, 'I can be different! I can be brave, out-going! No one will be mean to me at all!'

I was so silly then, I even forgot how I'm like with dreams. Sometimes when I wake up, I think about my dream and believe that it's still happening.

Sometimes, these 'living dreams' are harmless. But now look at what I've done!

I tried to kidnap all of my friends, all because of a stupid game. And I think, I also killed my brother, I knew that tranquillisers plus a person with hypersomnia equals instant sleep, but I don't know how long he'll be asleep for!

He could sleep for a day, a week, maybe two. But he won't be able to eat at all, even drink anything for that matter. So what can I do, it's all my fault.

I will stay awake from now on, I'm never going to let this happen again, I will not hurt anyone else, I will stay awake.

Even if it hurts.
