Cal is a chronic insomniac who's been avoiding treatment for years until a few weeks of strange dreams drive him to finally get a sleep study done. Three or four times a week he dreams of this man who's face he can never quite make out. They talk, they walk around, they've gotten to know each other. Its starting to get old though, and Cal constantly has to remind himself that it isn't real, that regardless of how real it feels, its just a dream.
But then he bumps into a man at the same clinic who seems extremely familiar and it starts to feel like his dreams have escaped his sleep.
(Hi guys! I'm entering the novella contest I told you about (idk if I actually mentiond it or I just told myself I would mention it and then forgot but whatever! This is an original work, not more fanfic (oh my god, such an insane choice) and I'm hoping to have some fun with it!)
