Rick Sheridan is a busy man. Between his rigorous college schedule and a part time job renovating his apartment building for free rent he can barely find time to sleep these days. Thats why he was excited when his chemistry professor Dr. Conners offered him to sign up for a sleep study at Pym Labortories. Plus there was a $200 payment to volunteer for the study.
Rick skipped out for his early film class as his building attendant hollars from his room which is blaring soap operas and smells like cigarettes " dont forget you need to repair the toilets in rooms 13 and 16 today!"
"No problem." yelled rick. "Todays the day i do the sleep study for the extra cash i told you about. Ill fix them when i get in."
"You better! Or its to the streets with you kid." he snarled. "Leave it to a millenial to learn how to get paid to take naps!" he mumbled under his breath.
His phone rang as he left the house. He looked at the caller. It was Alyssa. He answered it hurriedly. "Hey babe whats going on." he asked.
Alyssa answered "just seeing if we are still going to the movies tonight?"
"Totally ive got class then that sleep study. Ill be free about 11 pm" he replied.
"I cant wait to see you darling. Hopefully you are rested better tonight than you were last time."
"I promise ill be plenty rested." he responded.
"You better" she croaked out while disconecting the call
He showed up early to the study ready to nap. He met Dr. Herbert Zekel who was leading the study and his assistant Clyde. Dr. Zekel explained the procedure. He was to simply fall asleep and they would use electromagnetic pulses on him and record data on its effects. The pay would be $200 and a well deserved nap. Rick eagerly agreed still tired from late night trigonometry studying and early morning film class.
They brought him into a room and hooked up all sorts monitoring devices. He layed down in the quite comfy bed as a large emp ray was brought into the room and it looked like a large menacing ray gun.
"Have no fear" said Dr. Zekel. "This might look frightening but i have faced things more terrifying than that on my journeys through the south pacific. I survived those youll survive this." He turned on the sleeping gas to his face mask and his thoughts drifted away into a oblivion.
Dr. Zekel laughed maniacly after young Rick Sheridan fell asleep. He pulled a ring out of a pouch in his desk and placed it on his finger. "With the power of the Manderins Dream Ring young Rick you are about to make me a very powerful person." Clyde and the other assistants grew dreary and fell asleep under the Manderins spell. This was the day Rick Sheridans life became a living nightmare.
