The Truth About The Universe : The Coup | TATU |

02 : The Dreams

Dawn was just 3 hours away. It was 0400 right now. I had a phone, which I kept in my pocket every night while I slept after the second dream, just to be 'better safe than sorry'. Hah. What a silly thing I thought at first, but now it paid off I guess.

"We should cruise into Extery town. People out there should probably know whats going on, right Preak?", my brother said. "NO! Keep driving! Keep on the main road! We'll stop at Nasem, I have a good friend there whom we must meet, and save actually..." I said.

We were caught just as we stopped at Extery and were killed in one of the dreams. We were driving to Extery, it was dark and cold, just the settings for a horror movie. I suggested we get some warm clothes. I didn't understand how in a dream I could feel cold, but well. We stopped the car to check in the trunk for clothes, there was a hammer, some tool to fix punctured tyres, and a crowbar. We were just inspecting the crowbar when we heard an engine, we turned around and saw lights, it were some cars. They stopped beside us, it was a military car, green color, with a machine gun on the top. It was from the Ducle base near Orma, I thought we could get some answers for this situation and the US army shooting its own people, but they simply got out, saw our faces and shot us.

In Nasem, in the dreams actually I met Sam, he said he also was seeing these dreams.

***
In the dreams, Sam was from Nasem and was hiding with his sister in a garage with his little sister, Tyler.

At Nasem we stopped. Nasem was comparatively a smaller town than Orma, it was a beautiful town, but right now it was all in ruins. We drived to that garage, expecting to find him there, expecting him to be real, expecting I wasn't the only one dreaming.

"Preak? Is that you?! You are real?" Sam screamed from a window." Yes and you too... are real.", I replied. He and Tyler came out of their house." Is this happening according to the dream?" Sam asked. "Yeah man... it is like a script and we are the actors, although this movie would be a nightmare".

"Next we are going to Nales, I have a friend there too...", "How come you never told me about these dreams man? If you had told everyone we could have saved Dad and Mom, we could have already escaped... they would be alive right now.", said my brother. "We didn't know ourselves when this would happen, I just knew that it would be at 4 am in the morning... someday...", Sam backed me up too.

***

It was 0900, by the time we reached Nales. The sun was shinning bright and Sam had also given us some clothes so I didn't feel chilled at least. We drove to her house, Texas's house. She was also one of us, dreaming.

"Hope she is real too, you know.", said Sam. "Yeah."

She was hiding in the trunk of her Dad's car, it was a Land Rover, had a prettly big trunk, I could probably live there but well....

"Oh my god, its real... those dreams were so awful... but now its REAL!", she sounded terrified, maybe because she was alone for 3 hours or maybe because she saw her Dad die in front of her.

"We should probably hit the gas station soon, the fuel is a bit low.", Vadar said. "Yeah, right."

***

Soon we were in Nalese, it was almost 1200. Nalese was a small ugly town, well you could also call it a settlement because it just had a handful of houses and a gas station. As we neared the gas station, I asked my brother to stop. I remembered the situation at the gas station from the dream..

We drove in straight to the station, there was nobody there when we drove in but just as we exited the van, two guys sprang at us with a hockey stick and a bat.

Next time only me and Sam sneaked in the back trying to reason with them, but it ended bad, we tried again next time but that time we knocked them down.

The gas station had a color scheme of white and yellow, it had a shop in the back where we had found those guys, we walked to the back, punched them both down, took their weapons which were literally a bat and a hockey stick and grabbed a fuel can each and rushed back.

***

"I heard something out there, did something happen?", asked my brother. "Yeah they knocked two guys down, they tried reasoning but they didn't listen, I guess", Texas said.

"Uh-huh, and how do you know this exactly?"

"We told you this like 150 times already, heh", said Texas, smiling.

"Right, its just the idea of you guys communication through a dream, I dont believe it, I feel its... some sort of prank. Anyways, where we going next leader?", eyeing an eyebrow to me through the rear view mirror.

"Umm, I guess Botorwa town."

"Oh! Wait we need to check the dark browser just to double check the information from the dreams about this event", Sam said. " Umm sure but we didn't get any network till now you know", Vadar said. " Actually the gas station has a PC which is connected through an ethernet cable so....", I said.

We opened the dark web and just straight away opened the usual new website we opened in the dreams. We had to spend hours here just to try an find some news, once we had also opened the normal browser but were tracked I guess and were killed, but using the dark browser we should be safe.

' US Military Coup : Trying to take over the World?', the headline read. ' Billions dead'. ' US military attacked the houses of the US citizens at 4 am in the morning of 14 January, blowing up roofs and taking lives of innocent people. US military has attacked Canada and South America and has captured them. The military also tried to attack Russia, China and other eastern - Asian countries but failed due to their united action. The war against the US military and Russian troops is still underway. It is also said US navy troops are advancing on Europe and Aftica' 1 hour 46 minutes ago by Anonymous.

We were driving to Botorwa in silence but just then....

" What the hell man?! What is wrong with these military guys?! Just going on killing people, huh?! THEY KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE DO THEY EVEN REALISE THAT?!", my brother was probably shooked by this sudden intake of news, but he hadn't acted this way in the dreams. Sam, Texas and I looked at each other. " Look man we all have lost someone today, but you need to focus on now, you have been driving for almost 12 hours... so just take it easy... I'm really sorry for your loss", Sam said in a reassuring tone. He certainly was the motivation - speech - guy.

We arrive at Botorwa town by 1700. It was getting dark so....

"We should stop right here, Vadar, outside the town.", I said to my brother. We walked to the place where we met them.

"You know I am literally starving right now, I haven't eaten for almost 15 hours", Sam said. " Yeah I agree with him. What about you leader?", Vadar said. " First of all, do not call me ' leader' and second, we'll have dinner here in Botorwa, and Sam you knew this but still you do this everytime", I said, kind of angrily, but I guess it was okay...

We were casually walking... no one said a thing after that, but it just didn't happen. Three guys were supposed to attack us.

In the dreams they had a kind of trap set up, I still dont know what triggers it but something does everytime we walk casually. An alarm goes off and they 3 jump out of their cars and well they had guns but they don't shoot, Sam just knocked them down, almost killed one of them.

The sky was pinkish orange and the streetlights were off, the houses were destroyed and no sign of life could be seen, until we saw that car from which they jumped out of. No alarm went off or anything. We checked the car, empty but it had a shotgun.

"Hands in the air, NOW!", screamed a guy from the roof of a building, he wasn't in the dreams, something was wrong.
