I am walking through a dark forest, it smells like rotting flesh, it makes me feel dizzy, and confused. This forest is all foggy, I can barely see anything but trees. I walk through the deep fog some more, I hear the leaves and twigs crunching under my feet. I still see nothing, I start to run, and the fog gets deeper and deeper. I start to trip over roots and tree stumps. I look behind me, and the shadow figure was chasing after me, I got scared, so I kept running and running, I couldn't stop, the figure was keep getting closer and closer. Until I see a beam of light, it shines in the middle of the forest, I run to it. It gets brighter and brighter when I get close to it. When I get there, I see a mirror, I walk up slowly to the mirror, and my reflection is very clear. I look behind me and I don't see the shadow figure anymore. I look back at the mirror, I look at myself for a while, all of the sudden I hear a voice.

," Hello Awsten...", the voice said. I look around, then I look at the mirror, my reflection was talking to me, " I'm glad you could make it... it's nice to see you can become one of us...", my reflection starts to smile an evil grin, now it's laughing like a maniac. My reflection starts to melt into a ball of smile, it's starts to form into the shadow figure again, the shadow figure comes out of the mirror and reaches its hand towards my face, I try to back up, I start freaking out, I don't know what to do. All I can do is scream.

I jolt awake, I'm in my bosses office, sitting in the waiting chairs with Geoff. I look around, I see my boss on a phone call, and Geoff sitting patiently with the machine. I sigh in relief that it was all a dream. Geoff looks at me, " are you ok Awsten?", Geoff asks me. I take a long time to respond, " uh... yeah, I'm fine...had another weird zone out sesh...", I said looking at Geoff. " I can't do that...", Geoff said, " I'll try to program it into your software later...", I say with a smile. Geoff nods with a weird smile, the boss finally gets off the phone, " okay boys, finally got off with that client, so show me your best idea yet!", he said putting the phone away, the boss had a huge smile on his face.

My boss, Brendon Urie, is probably one of the best people I've known, he is a very, suggestive person, but he has a great personality, he's funny and kind. Plus he is one good looking bee, girls legit fight over him, it's crazy! Me and Geoff stood up, we showed Brendon my idea," well it's a machine that makes an instant song, you don't even have to put any work into making a new song... it creates catchy rhythms and beats, perfect if you want to go into the music business...", I say with a smile. Geoff does a great job carrying something that is made of the same material as him. I see Brendon's smile fade, I hope I didn't say anything wrong, I do have to say, I didn't work on this machine for the longest time, probably a week. " Awsten, I love it... but it doesn't give the spark, that this company needs... I truly do love you Awsten, I mean Jesus, you are a fucking genus! You made Geoff the Robobt!", Brendon says pointing at Geoff, Geoff looks at himself with a confused looked.

," like Fuck! Geoff is a Robot that has EMOTIONS! Thats AMAZING!...", Brendon said, Brendon gets up out of his seat, and walks towards me. " instead of making a machine that makes instant songs... what about a machine that makes you learn an instrument instantly...", Brendon said putting his arm around my shoulder. " uhm, I think I can do that...", I say with an innocent face. " Perfect! You are the man after all, Hey in celebration of you being the best man at this company, why don't you go out for drinks, you can use my tab", Brendon said with a smile. I nod, and Geoff and I walk out of the room to the main office, Brendon follows behind us. As Geoff and I were walking out, we hear Brendon yell, " IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS! THE ONE WHO WORKS THE MOST AND GETS THE MOST SHIT DONE! GETS 100 BUCKS ADDED TO THEIR SALERY!", Brendon said with a big smile. Everybody goes nuts and starts to work there asses off.

Me and Geoff go into the elevator, we hit the bottom floor. We leave the building with blank faces. We head to the car, I open the car door, and Geoff puts the machine in the car. I relax on the side of the car, and I sigh, Geoff puts a puppy dog face on, " I'm sorry Awsten...", he says. " don't worry about it, I didn't work that hard on the machine anyway... Brendon had an honest opinion, and it was the truth... it was going to do nothing to the company...". Geoff heads into his cube form, I grab Geoff and put him into the cup holder. I head into the drivers seat, and I start the car. I leave the parking lot, and I drive around the city a bit, I just enjoy the way the city looks and sounds, it's relaxing. I put on, don't stop me now, by Queen. That song starts to make me feel better, no one can stop me now! I start to drive a bit faster, I feel free, I feel open.

I'm enjoying myself finally, until I see the shadow figure in the middle of the road. I panic and I swerve off the road, I hit a building, it was a bad crash. It was so bad, I hit a poor innocent girl...
