A Chapter by Lizardo

The Memories come back

“Is that…Samantha!?” I panic; my mind went to the moon when I saw the girl badly hurt. How could of this happen? And now that I think of it, we’re our motorcycles? Too many questions in my head but no answers, this place was really beginning to frighten me.

“Cinderella!” Yelled Lenox running with the girl on both of his arms. The man was showered in blood; his face was full of sweaty blood as he was running towards us.

Daisy looked awful; it looked like she was badly hurt too with her arm against her chest.

Me Dominick rushed to Lenox and daisy’s.

“What happened!?” I said panicking, grabbing Samantha from her back and rested her body in my arms. The girl was mess up, blood coming out from her head and clothes looked like it was ripped off from some parts.

Daisy sat down in the pavement glaring at Samantha with a sad looked.

Lenox did all the talking:

“We got attack by this… this thing! It doesn’t even deserve a damn name” Said Lenox trying to hold his breath. Boy he looked in a bad form, like someone threw him in to the pavement. I saw Dominick grabbed one of Samantha’s hands, maybe to see how her pulse was.

Lenox kept talking.

“It was made out of glass, a man made of glass” “We didn’t know what was best, We didn’t know where you were” “We said no, the glass thing kept on trying us to buy his deal but we kept saying no” “That’s when the fun begun, from his hand, he made a gun made of glass, hard glass.” “He started shooting at us, we kept dodging them and running out of his vision, but we weren’t that lucky, one of the shots hit Samantha in the head and she drop to the floor”

Daisy stood up when Lenox finish, and came to see the girl in my hands.

“She’s not dead” Said daisy

“The gun the glass man made, wasn’t a gun at all, it’s some kind of thing that keeps you trap in the second stage of dreaming”

“What does that mean?” I said to daisy, tears forming in my eyes.

“She’s trap in a nightmare”

“True” said Dominick letting go of her hand and standing up facing daisy.

She still has a pulse and still breaths.

“But, how do we get her out of this?” I said hugging Samantha

“We need her reflection” said Lenox

“Reflection?” I said wondering about what the heck that was in a dream.

“A reflection of her, if she gets badly hurt or trap in a dream, we need her reflection to get her out” “That’s how we took you out from the dream that Lizardo put you in”

I was surprised by what the old man had said, I thought he was just guns and fight, but no, he knew a lot of the dream world too.

Thunder started to form in the sky and black clouds begun to form again swallowing everything into darkness, after a few seconds of light shows and the sounds of the lightning bolts in the sky, it begun to rain.

“We need to find a shelter” said daisy

“I guess that’s the only way we have, and either way, we need to go there.”

“Maybe there we will find Samantha’s reflection”

The raindrops started to come in a faster and heavier way through the pavement and sand.

“Let’s get going” Said Lenox

We began to run towards the city not knowing what awaited us in there.

After a few minutes of being showered by rain drops and a nice melody of thunderbolts as a backstage music, we saw the city glass buildings rise to the sky as rain showered on them too.

Then something strange happen, when we were entering the city, I suddenly saw that my vision went black for a moment, and it kept on going black and black. In that darkness I saw a man approaching me. I went black, and open my eyes; The figure was right in front of me. The vision went black again and I was face to face with the man, yes it was a man and it was Lizardo. I fell to the floor with my vision blurry, I saw Daisy, Lenox (with Samantha on his hands) Drop to the ground and Dominick fell down too. Now my vision went fully black.

“One Year before the comet, Scientist say that this will be the end of our face. The comet is heading towards earth in a fast approaching speed…” Said the lady news in T.V.

I was dreaming, but again, it wasn’t me, it was the past of me.

I stand up from the couch and started to walk to the kitchen, a sense of hunger struck on me.

“Mom! What’s for dinner?” I said as I entered the kitchen and saw a woman with brown long hair in high heels and a black dress.

“I order you pizza, since I’m not going to be here, I’ll leave you the money on the table” she said in a sweet voice.

She grabbed her purse from the nice looking table and kisses me on my cheek.

“Can you believe all of this speculation about the comet?” she said facing me.

“Do you think it’s real?” I asked her

“Of course I do, Grandpa told you the same story right?’

“Yeah he did”

“I thought that it wasn’t true, but now that I see it, I’m starting to get nervous”

“But oh well, I’ll get going”

She walked to the front door and waved a goodbye towards me, for some reason, sorrow washed on my heart because… That was the last time I saw her alive.

That’s when it all started, now I saw everything black but there was a light. A blue 2D screen showing videos of me, no there weren’t videos, there were my memories.

I touched the 2D screen and a bunch of other 2D screens showing videos of me started to appear on every single direction wrapping me a wormhole of them.

I slowly started to rise in the darkness and the 2D screens started to wrap me in their vortex showing me every single phase of my life in macro-seconds.

My mom, Lizardo, Samantha, Everyone and every single detail of my life.

Even when the comet stroke earth. I saw it, I remembered it.

I was with Lizardo in a Laboratory, we were both wearing pharmacist coats.

“You need to fight it Lizardo!” I yelled at him stepping backwards as I saw Lizardo throwing himself to the floor and yelling in some other language.

The laboratory started to shake like an earthquake. The comet was going to hit earth any time.

“I’m… Sorry” Said Lizardo trying to fight his words out

“I’m… Sorry… If I do bad stuff when I’m not in control of myself...” I tear drop from my eyes and the laboratory was still shaking with computers falling down and quimicals too.

“I should of… never… go… to… Saturn…” And Lizardo disappear from my vision.

Saturn, yes now I remember! Lizardo went on a space expedition to Saturn when the human race manage at the hand of Lizardo, travel through the universe.

Lizardo when to Saturn but when he returned, he was not the same…

Something changed him; he was more demanding and yelling too.

What could have happened to him there?

Then my vision went blurry, the I heard a booming sound in the sky that made my ears bleed. The comet hit earth, but there was one problem. Time had stopped moving.

I woke up trying to breathe air in a bed made of… GLASS!?

I had a pillow made of glass and a blanket made of glass too. I was in a room made of glass; I could see people made of glass through it and saw the rumbling sounds of lightning bolts and the pitch black sky with rain falling down.

Everything we were doing was wrong, travelling through the different spaces of the dreams, we were wrong… we didn’t need to go to the galaxy to find Lizardo, we needed to enter the third stage of dreaming to get him and from what I saw, this was only the first one. But I guess I can say that we were right, but we need to get to the end of the last space of the first stage of dreaming…

I remembered that Lizardo had once told me about it when we had a fight about using the Dream device to stop time and watch how it was the second that the comet hit earth. He told me something about the different stages of dreaming.

I put a foot in the hard glass and stand up, now I could see well.

To my right side was Lenox in his bed made of glass, to my left side was Samantha, still unconscious from what I saw and in front of me was Dominick in a bed too and Daisy… Wait a second, were was Daisy?
