Daniel

22:52


Rested and fully operational, I am almost completely prepared for whomever I meet tonight. I walk into work and head towards the Prize Corner. I walk in, and notice all the games and posters that were strung amongest the walls.

"Hiya Daniel!" Marionette said, floating towards me.

"Hello there. I keep my promises, as I should." I smile, pulling up a chair to talk to Poppet.

-An hour later-

"And that is why you shouldn't try, in strategy RPGs, to take on huge bosses. Unless, you have a card up your sleeve."

I finished, with Poppet slightly confused.

"Sorry...I got a bit carried away there.." I apologized, till she laughed.

"It is fine. You are interested in it, and that is totally understandable. I didn't understand half of it, but if talking about it makes you excited and happy, that makes me happy."

She hugs me then sends me off to the office for my official shift.

I walk into the office, and sit down.

Something feels...off. As if..I am being watched. I look around the office from the chair. As I look around, I begin to get sleepy. I nod off, and enter a weird murky dreamscape.

"Ridge, hello? Stop trying to scare me..." I look around, and find myself looking into white pinpricks.

"Who is this...Ridge? A fictional plaything?" the pinpricks said, slightly unnerving my sensibilities.

"I am afraid not. She is my friend and just happens to be a phantom."

"Oh~..now you are in a different phantom's dreamscape, not your buddy's. And I am afraid, this may just be the end of the line for you. Have fun with your nightmares, Night Guard!"

My eyes open wide in shock to the sudden falling to my stomach, and the sky dreamscape.

Okay. That took too long. Apologies. Umm...at the time of finishing, I am probably getting grounded, so...yeah. Tests and all that, this past few weeks and next few weeks. So...cheer me on if you wanna. See you all next chapter, hopefully sooner than later. And Happy Easter!

We all got this far in life.
If you are here, you are awesome.
You got talent and skill.
I believe in you, even when you don't.
You can solve anything.
"Rock on, Wayne."
"Rock on, Garth."
