A Hero's Journey

The Dream

    Zach was unconscious and out like a light.(I surely wonder what he is dreaming about?). It was bright and Zach was thinking "Am I dead? Cause I would have seen mom or at least Uncle Joe. I must just be sleeping. But if this is a dream, how come I am dreaming about my house and can't move? Oh my gosh! How can I be dead? I wasted my life and for what?" Then he started thinking about the mistakes he made. Firstly he was failing school while pulling stunts. Now he did it for a girl. He was in love with Ashley from 4th grade but was a little shy to tell her. But the times he was about to there was an obstacle in his path. Like, when he got her attention and was about to tell her a fight broke out and a crowd separated them. And when they were stuck in class for being the last ones because the janitor locked them in. "Ashley, there is something I wanted to tell for a while now." Zach said nervously."What?" she asks. " I......" Zach said before they heard the door opening . It was the janitor. In his mind all Zach was thinking was ways he can kill the janitor. But seriously, Zach was so annoyed by the interruptions that he decided to wait till the perfect moment to tell her. But then, in 'the dream', Zach saw his father and got worried. " I wonder if he's alright? If I ever wake up or come back to life or whatever, I'll find my dad. No matter what happens!" Zach has a face filled with determination and you can't see any doubt on his face. "Why can I wake up or whatever already? What did the machine do to me? You know what? I'll force myself to wake up. He kept trying to move and screamed 'wake up' a hundred times. Suddenly he felt himself waking up.
