Dan's P.O.W.
I slowly opened my eyes and closed them immediately with a groan after the sunshine that hit on my eyes, and buried my face to my pillow. I feel so exhausted. I surely would love to sleep some more. Falling to sleep again wouldn't really be hard for me at that state. But then, a list of the things I have to do today came into my mind. There is no escape from that I thought along with a sigh. I gained my strength, and hardly got out of the bed. I went towards the bathroom with half closed eyes. I washed my face, which made me a little more awake now, and shuffled towards my room. "Ah, I forgot to change my clothes before falling asleep. Great." I growled with annoyance. I've worked late last night and it really turns my schedule upside down. Oh God, I do really want to make it every place.
I walked to the kitchen to get some coffee. Jay and Hosuh are awake already. But it seemed like they just woke up a little while ago. Hosuh hadn't tied his hair yet. And Jay's hair was an orange mess. All of the team were staying at my house for a few days. Jay and Hosuh were chatting about how is it possible to also get hurt in real life sometimes, when you get hurt in your dream. Then the topic turned into wether if it would be possible to die in real life if you die in your sleep or not. Jay was talking about some theoretical things that can be used to experiment that.
"Morning guys" I said casually. They didn't stop talking and reply back or even looked back at me. I was about to say something and right at that moment, Stephen came in greeting us in a cherished and low key energetic tone. He actually greeted them, he didn't include my name. "Do you think it's possible to get killed both in your dream and reality?" Jay asked him. "Oh I know that!" Stephen said. "Isn't it this about the old Nightmare on Elm Street movie? With the guy who has knife gloves!" I was a little hurt. Why would they act like that even though nothing bad happened between us. I got closer to them slowly. "What's wrong?" I asked. No reply. All of them were ignoring me. Then I thought that it might be a prank.
"No, we're not talking about that"
"Actually, that might be a great video material"
"I'll put that on the list" Stephen and I said simultaneously. "What?" I was confused. It looked like Stephen said that out of habit. That was something I would say out of habit. I mean, of course he might've done that as a part of act, but if felt weird. As if something wasn't like its supposed to be. I played along. I wandered around and acted like a ghost.
"I look forward for what you're going to do" Jay smirked. He got a sinister grin from Stephen as a respond.
"I don't. I'm stuck in this channel with 2 psychopathic people and one of them plays me in his hands" Hosuh said with a fake cry. "We need to take more guests to our videos"
"I am a sociopath Hosuh, get it right" Jay was trying to look offended.
I got bored of pretending after a few minutes. "That's enough for a joke guys" I said. "Are there any cameras? Are you going to share it?". They continued to ignore me. I did and said the very things they would be annoyed of. Not even a change in facial expressions.
I don't understand. I was starting to get convinced that it wasn't a joke. I was confused and I didn't know what to do. I started to feel like I was getting crushed by something heavy.
"Okay how far can you-" I reached to Stephen and tried to grab his shoulder but.... my hand went through his shoulder!? I looked at my empty hand shocked. How.....? I tried to touch Stephen again, and then Hosuh, and then Jay. I failed every single time. I can't touch them nor feel them. "Can you even hear me?!?" Or even interact with them in any way. I screamed and tried to get noticed until I got tired. Is this a nightmare? I wanted to believe it was a nightmare. I stood still and started to watch them talking to each other. It felt numb.
"So are we recording it today?"
