 CHAPTER 1: MIND HEIST

"Mark!!!"

I woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night by a scream. I was gasping for air and I was terrified. Covered with cold sweat, I sat on my bed and letting the sweat dripped. I couldn't even remember my dream. I held my forehead and brushed my hair up with my fingers.

"What was that all about?"

I stood up and went to my cabinet. I took the face towel hanging at the right corner of the cabinet and wiped my sweat dry. I looked back on my bed and then looked at the wall clock.

"Damn! It's still 2 a.m."

I couldn't go back to sleep every time I had a nightmare. So, I went out of my room and rushed to the kitchen. All I needed was a can of beer. Well, I thought that might help me to put to sleep. As I opened the fridge, I was glad I saw one can of beer. Quickly, I opened it and sipped a little.

"OH! That was good!"

It was cold and it tasted good. I looked for a place to sat on and enjoy my beer. Then I decided to sat on the couch at the living room and watched TV. As I was about to turn on the TV, I saw a reflection of me sitting on the couch on the TV. My heart instantly beat so loud and I even felt it's pounding out of my chest. I was stoned in shock. I slowly turned my head to the couch but he was no longer there.

"What in God's name is happening?"

Then suddenly, the TV turned on with a loud volume. The surprise stroked me down to the floor and I dropped my beer as a result. I fell on my back and dragged myself backwards away from the TV with a bad reception. Then suddenly, I heard my name. Someone was calling me and it's coming from the TV.

"MARK!!!"

Because of curiosity I crawled back in front of the TV as it kept on calling my name. As I was in front of it, it suddenly turned off. Then, I realized it wasn't even plugged in. I looked back on the TV screen and there I saw myself again on the couch. But this time, I looked like a dead person. My eyes got big as a stared at the TV screen. Then suddenly the TV turned on again.

"MARK!!!"

At that instant, I woke up.

"It was just a dream?"

I sighed, held on my forehead and brushed my hair up with my fingertips to the back of my neck. Then, I looked at the wall clock.

"What the fuck!?"

The time was exactly the same with the time I woke up in my dream. To make it sure that I was not still dreaming, I pinched my arm so hard.

"AAAWH!"

Well, that really hurts.

I lay down and picked up my phone. I text my girlfriend Grace and told her about what happen. I was not hoping for a reply. But if i am really dreaming at that moment, she might receive and read it by the time she'd wake up.

 CHAPTER 2: SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT

*Message Alter*

The sound of my phone woke me up. Good thing I fell asleep again last night. I sighed as get out of bed. Then, I stretched my arms, neck and back. I loved it whenever I hear the cracking sound on my bones.

“Oh, yeah! My phone… I almost forgot that I have a text message.”

I turned back to my bed and picked up my phone. It was my girlfriend. She was asking me if I was alright. I smiled because not only that she cared but also, I wasn’t dreaming when I send her the text. I replied back to her and told her that I will just tell her everything when we meet at school.
