Please Note: This story is set in 2008/9, when Tyler was around 18 or 19. He hasn't started Twenty One Pilots yet, and hasn't met Josh (for now) :) Enjoy!
Tyler looks out of his window. He sees the same people going about their lives. Going about their daily routine. They have nothing to hide. He can see them as they are on the inside, but it doesn't work the same for him. Everyone sees him as he pretends to be. They don't know him. But why would they? He doesn't know himself either.
Tyler's POV:
18th June, 2007: The last night Tyler dreamed.
I remember the last time I had a dream. It was so long ago. I miss it all. I miss dreaming.
I opened my eyes. I was in..... a forest? I held a dimly light lantern that barely illuminated the path I stood on. I could see a silhouette clearly in the distance, amongst all the darkness. It vaguely resembled myself. Running after the silhouette, I saw it vanish into the night. "Where are you?" I called out. A faint whisper flowed through the trees. "I'll be here when you find yourself, Tyler." I stood, confused. " Find myself? But I know who I am! I'm Tyler Joseph!" A chuckle could be heard in the forest. "No, you don't. You'll understand soon enough. When you do, you'll start dreaming again." I didn't understand. "But I am dreaming!"
I woke up, confused as to what had happened. Dreaming... Again? But I do dream!
Now I understand what my silhouette had meant.
