Into Madness

3 years ago ago, a virus of unknown origins sweeps over the United States, it causes you to never wake from your sleep, in order to calm the public's fears the government immediately begins research into this phenomenon and discovers that before subjects would die, they would exhibit brain activities closely related to that as if they were dreaming As more and more young adults fell victim to their own dreams scientists began to get their hands on a few of the adults and take them to a newly founded facility where they would run vigorous tests in order to find the origin and potential cure to the illness. As each subject slowly diminished due to the "Rem Death" the scientists weren't any closer to finding any answers and slowly began to lose hope, that was until halfway across the world in a morgue a boy lied on the cold autopsy table seemingly dead due to the rem death. It was another regular autopsy to the morticians, that was until the boy suddenly sat up screaming believing the finishing blow would have killed him.. But it didn't. Why did he wake up when so many have perished due to their own nightmares. Was it luck? Or is there a deeper meaning to his survival that's just waiting to be dissected?
