  (POV: 3rd person, it's Johnny's dream flashback)
 
  Johnny sat playing with his toy cars when all of the sudden, he heard a voice in his head. "Ca - can I play, too?" The voice frightened Johnny. He didn't know what to say or do.
  Johnny thought that since the voice was in his head, maybe he could think and speak to it. "Who are you?"
  His plan obviously worked, as the voice answered. "I don't know. I have always been here. I'm like your brother?" The voice was scared and nervous, like the new kid in a class.
  "How do we play?" Johnny asked his brother. He very much wanted a sibling to play with. He only had an imaginary friend made out of boxes who didn't even call him by the right name.
  "I think I know. Just relax and let me control the body." Johnny did as the voice said and soon, he couldn't feel his body.
  "Bro -  brother! I can't feel my legs or my arms! All I can feel is cold!"  Johnny said. He was now the voice in his - or rather his new brother's - head.
  His brother didn't respond immediately. He was playing with the cars. "That's how I feel all of the time."
  "Jooooohny! Lunch is ready!" Johnny's mother yelled from the kitchen.
  Johnny's brother didn't respond. When Johnny asked about it, he said because he wasn't Johnny. He was someone else.
  "You'll need a name!" Johnny laughed.
  "I guess."  he continued to play with the cars and Johnny's mother whipped out the full name.
  "Johnathan Gregory Ghost, get in here now!" Johnny convinced his brother to go and he gave in, making sure Johnny knew he wasn't the same person as him and wouldn't act like so.
  Johnny took control so their mother wouldn't see his eyes red for now. First, they as to come up with a name for his brother. "What about Ash?" he suggested.
  "No, I want the same name as daddy."
  "His name is Johnny, but I'm Johnny.", Johnny thought for a moment, "Sometimes I over hear his friends and mommy calling him Jim."
   Johnny's brother thought for awhile "Then I am Jimmy Ghost."
  Their dad interupted their conversation. "And what are you thinking about, son?" he was smoking another cigar.
  "I'm talking to my brother!" Jimmy exclaimed exitedly.
  "Is he another one of your imaginary friends?" Their father laughed.
   "No! He's inside me! Look, you can talk to him!" Jimmy's eyes turned brown as Johnny took control.
  "That was my brother! He's Jimmy.", Johnny said exitedly, "I'll let you talk to Jimmy again." Johnny's eyes went back to red as Jimmy became dominant.
  Mr. Ghost froze in place. He yelled for his wife to come in with them. "Sarah?! Come quick!"
  "What is it, dear?", she asked as she walked in the room, "What's up with Johnny's eyes?"
  "I'm Jimmy!" Jimmy said. She too froze. The difference between Johnny's and Jimmy's voice was obvious now. Then, she fainted.
