Five Insomniacs; One Book

Gru

So, here I was at an elderly party. Everything was cool. Nothing strange.

We were enjoying our scotch, talking about our lives, our wives, and things like that. Then this guy just walked in bringing a bag with him. Looked completely normal. But the bag looked unusual. It was a dull green duffle bag. At first we were all like, why would someone bring a big-ass bag to calm party.

Then he took something out of that bag. It was a zip-lock bag containing few pills. He asked us to try some. We utterly disagreed. We did not know what that drug could do. We asked him, what that drug could do. Because we did not want any trouble.

He said," I came here to show you people my new drug. This is not dangerous or illegal. It is safe". We quickly changed our minds.

We swallowed the pill and felt really tired. I felt heavy, hungry, had weird thoughts, my vision was blurred. I saw my fellow mates feeling the same way as I did. My head was in distress. I could not take it anymore.

I floundered, not knowing quite what to say. Then something really strange happened to me which I cannot describe.

I was abducted by an U.F.O. Well, I did not know if it was the drug or something else. None of my friends were with me. I was quite anxious. I shouted but no one could hear. The odour over there was obnoxious

"SON!" I easily recognized that voice. It was my Mom. She came to me and hugged me. I sobbed like a kid. She was fading away. I shouted "MOM..! MOOOOOOMMM!!!!! NOOOOOOO! PLEASE MOOMMM!!"

I don't remember anything after that. The only thing I remember after that was – I was standing on a trapdoor. I opened it and I fell into that. I could the world but not clearly. I was falling towards Earth. I was sky-diving. I could not feel myself. My Heart was in my mouth.

I woke up, finding myself in my bedroom. I openedmy door and went down to the kitchen and saw my wife cooking and my kidsgetting ready for school. And my wife said to me," Honey, You are getting latefor work."I quickly got ready, Drank my coffee, kissed my wife goodbye and left<]
