NOVEL SIMPLE Prologue – The Dream
Submerged...
Everything is dark.
I feel like I’m drowning… But drowning in what?
My eyes, which I thought were open, are opened once again.
Now, I’m standing in a gray room, with a figure who isn’t far from me.
I cannot move, I cannot blink, and I cannot speak.
I calmly stare at the individual who is the only visible thing in this room.
Steadily and quietly, the figure makes its way towards me.
The figure is blurred. I cannot make out their appearance.
But I can obviously identify the item in its hand… It’s a weirdly disfigured pistol.
But strangely, I am not scared. Rather, I feel a sense of comfort with the stranger.
The stranger stands in front of me and opens their mouth:
“This will be the only time I can say this. So listen closely…”
A familiar voice.
“Do not stray from your role. Hide your intentions.”
What..?
“You will eventually uncover and realize the ugly truth of this place.”
“Though, you’re quite stupid so it might take you a while.”
The stranger mocks me, and laughs.
“That is all. See ya, loser.”
The figure points their gun at my head. But I’m unable to move or scream.
Their static face becomes more clear, and I recognize it immediately.
It’s my face. That person is me.
“Good luck.”
They pull the trigger.
And everything is dark.. Again…
