Chapter Three: Nightmare

Chapter Three: Nightmare

            I drift into sleep. Right at the moment of falling asleep, I feel a force on me. The force lets up and I feel like I’m going to wake up. After a few moments I wake up.

            I’m in a strange room of some sorts. I look around and notice the old books arranged in wooden bookcases. An old recliner accompanies the giant wooden desk with a unique machine on it.

            I get up from the floor and I walk to the desk. The clean black machine is a computer screen of sorts. The screen is almost completely black expect for a green hand centered on it.

            I stare it for a long moment. I start to put my hand to it but a bit of fear strikes me. I man up and place my hand on the green hand on the screen. A loud beep goes off as a red scanning line hits my hand. The screen lights up green and speaks.

Voice recognition.

I don’t say anything and it speaks louder to me.

Voice Recognition.

I finally speak.

“Hello”

Confirmed

The screen lights up and goes to the desktop. The computer’s desktop is very clean only showing two folders. One reads Locked and the other reads Wayne. I hesitate but I click the one reading Wayne. A video clip pops up and is black for a few seconds. Then the video loads and it shocks me to see what is now shown.

A face stares me down. It’s a face I see every day. It’s my face. Well more like a slightly older, blonde haired version me. I stand there staring, shocked half to death on what I’m looking at. The face speaks.

“Hello Wayne. I know this must be a huge shock to you but you need to listen to my words carefully. My name is Shawn Castle, and as long as you are in this reality, that will be your name. If you are watching this then our two worlds have collided and you are left in the harsh reality being stuck between each of them. That's where the story really gets started."

I try to absorb the information I’m getting, I have no clue what’s going on. The video continues.

“I can’t tell you why you are here or for how long, but I needed to make sure you know what your life is here. You are a twenty-six year old white married man in the year 2051. Our wife is named Heather; she has long brown hair and green eyes. Our job is a lead detective in the LADP. Our partner is Kelly Ford, she has black long hair. Our relationship with her is complicated, and you will found out in time. The first thing you need to do is go to the Lion Club in downtown Los Angeles. There you will look for a man named Willy. He will explain more to you about what is going on.”

I fall a force pushing my shoulder.

“Next.”

I wake up. I feel someone a hand hitting. I turn off and look to see Quinn touching me. She speaks, still naked.

“Hey idiot, you fall asleep.”

This chapter started out a bit slow, but the ending was fascinating!

[TheElfPrincess]

There is repetitive speek in here, at your very first sentences. "I feel like I’m going to wake up. After a few moments I wake up" Try to change this. Overall it was a good chapter, I like the characters.
