A Snow Mission

Chapter 7

Turning over in my bed I stared at the ceiling as my sight came into focouse.
What a absurd thing to think about. There was noting like it before. What happened to not having unusual experiences while I was temporarily unconscious during the night?

All the people from my dream I have never met before, the closest thing I could think of that resembled them were the characters in the VR simulator, otherwise known as THE Revolution.

The VR is a gamee based on a band with ten members each letter in the name stands for each of their names.
Robert, Elijah, Vlad, Oai, Luke, Ulysses, Travis, Iris, Omer and Noah.

Although the characters in the game have different names than the people that represented them in dream, resemblance of the their personalities shined through them.

I noticed I have been dreaming a lot lately and as soon as i wake up I forget what happened. Many of the dreams that I remeber are vivid in a way that only dreams can be - the surroundings are so "real" that any fanatisical element is simply accepted in overing-riding reality.

Reality. Something I think I am losing awarence of more and more each day.

A mountain. Snow. Two things I have never experienced or observed but saw the vibrant shine of the ice and intensity of the cold before being transferred on a bed and live out my day as though nothing significant had occurred. A dream...I am not even sure if I am still dreaming!

Is my name Eathen in this reality? Or has it changed to something horrifically unpleasing one like Norwood.

Actually that would not be such a bad name but I digress.

...

Rain started to pour from the sky as soon as the clock struck 8am.

The cool air was getting to me and a vivid image was forming in my head of the "night" I spoke with Robbin.

Quickly getting out of the shower and setting up my office for the gaming tournament I tried pushing the thoughts out my of head.

Although I live in a small flat by myself I somehow managed to have enough stuff for a family of five arranged in the office gaming room. I can hardly makeout the polished wood of the floor and desk as books, papers, folders and pens were preventing me.

They had to be rearranged immediately to another side of the room so the VR consol could be set up. They were thrown more them placed down in an organized fashion but the job was done.

Taking my last sip of water from my mug I then set it aside in the top shelf in between my comic series and master degree thesis.

Clearing the floor of the final clutter I pulled my headset over my eyes, the padded ears of the helmet adjusted themself comfortably blocking out the noise erupting from outside.

With one click of a botten, the game was live.

"Welcome to our senior gaming event. For all the experienced gamers the following is directed towards you....

My body fills with life as I take out another guy and head to the bridge to claim victory and start my Revolution and collect the gold that awaited me at the end of the trail.
