Chapter 1 ~Neon Signs

Vanity POV

Like any other boring morning I woke up and did the routine of self grooming and eating breakfeast. Life is really dull to me. Is there any real purpose? I don't have time to think of these things right now. I grab my bag and leave taking my phone and car keys with me. Getting in I think to myself.

-No love life

-No family (dead as far as I'm concerned ), homophobic basterds

-A boring job

-No real friends

-I have no time to have fun and when I do nobody's there to do it with.

There's so many more. As I started the car I notice a face in my window. It was my neighbor Rico. I roll down the window.

"What's up man?" I ask.

"Hug, where am I? Wait, I know you.........Vanity! Look none of this is real. Its all fake. We are a program all of us. They control are every move. Were hooked up....." he passed out and I hurried out of the car.

"Rico wake up man!" I slapped his face.

"Huh, wait..." he rubbed his head. "I must of gotten waisted last night. Hey Van." he said drowsily as if he was drunk. Then all of a sudden I smell alcohol all over him. Thats odd because I didn't smell it a second ago. I was distracted is all.

"Yeah, well I have to go to work but ill see you at the party tonight." I said getting back in my car.

"What party?" he asjmked confused.

"The party you and Curtis set up. You sent invites to us. It should be...." I searched for the bright yellow slip but found nothing. I swore it was just there.

"I don't remember that. But we will set it up next week." he saumid walking away muttering obscenities at how the sun was to bright. He loves the morning time though. Maybe ill just leave it. I started my car and left for work. As I drove I saw that there was near to few and no traffic today which is weird as there is heavy backup. Today is strange so far. When I walked into work I seen Krystea smoking.

"Morning" I say as I walk in.

"Morning. " she said then something ultimately weird happened. I just seen her out smoking but now I see her at her desk. I don't have time for this so I continue on.

"Good morning Van" she says.

"Oh, uh sorry hello" I stammer. I just said that.

Getting in the elevator I seen Kylie and nodded as I got on. When I got to my floor I left without a word. Going to my desk Samuel my boss says if someone can get Julie for him. I go to her cubicle and tell her but as I leave I notice she seemed different.

Letting these morning events slip my mind I get to work. While working I notice something strange. Julie repeatedly walking towards Sams office. She'd go in then all of a sudden she start all back over from her cubicle. I needed some fresh air. I step outside and yet again Kylie in the elevator. I ran out but froze in my tracks when I was out I looked at the sky. It was so animated and the sun was on both sides of the sky. Everything around started to seen so digitized. I took the out a lighter and for some crazy reason burned myself. It was real or fake either way it was unhealable damage to let me know that I'm not asleep. Then I saw two shadows running towards me.

"Sir, one is waking up! What do we do his whole processor is glitched." one man said.

"Oh, really." he sounded interested.

"Lets test him. Were going to let this one wake up." the male voice said.

"But-" they were cut off.

"Its just a little experiment calm yourself well kill him when we are done."

"So what do we do with subject 23.7.12 Rico Hernandez? He woke up until shut him down." They said

"Kill him." he put simply.

"Okay"

"And leave that one as is. See how long its going to take for him to wake up." he laughed.

What in the hell just happened and what do they mean Wake Up.
