1 Prologue

My world is changing drastically.

The sky is dark like night time, but the clock on my phone I am holding shows otherwise. It's 11.30 in the morning. I look outside my window apartment with my face in horror.

The tall city buildings far in the distance is disintegrating and being suck slowly into the vast dark swirling clouds. Amidst the flying fragments in the distance, I could see the figure of humans floating as well among the debris.

"What's happening?" I ask myself with a trembling voice. Then, I realize the people outside in the streets is also being suck into the sky with the buildings. I hear the buildings crumbling with a cracking sound echoing everywhere. It seem everyone outside is slowly floating up.

One of my neighbor, an old aunt who I know; is one of them. She is floating in front of my window. My legs buckle from below me as I stare aghast at her appearance. Her eyes and mouth wide open with black tendrils coming out of it as she continues to float upwards.

'This is crazy! This is crazy! This is crazy!,' I feel my breath become erratic. My hand shivers as I look upon them. Then, I cover my eyes with my palms trying to forget what I just seen outside.

Suddenly, I realize the sound outside becomes quite. I remove my hands and realize I am now in a dark room. I couldn't even see my hands right in front of me. Then, afterwards, the floor below me is no longer there. I am floating in a dark place as if I'm in a pool without the need to breath in it.

I breath a sigh of relief as I hope the thing I just seen is probably a dream. Thus, after a few moments; I try to wake up by slapping myself. I lift my right arm to the side of my face and swing it to my cheeks, but the coming pain is never felt.

'Wow, this is deep dream'. I try another few times, but the slap never come contact with my face. This is somehow starting to freak me out. I try again to feel around me with still no good outcome.

I swim around in this darkness a few more moments, until suddenly I see something in the far distance. It is spherical in nature and have a blue and green pattern on it. I try to swim closer, but it is really far.

After a while of 'swimming', I realize that it is actually a planet. I look closer and It really looks like earth, but the continent and seas were all different from the online spherical map I've seen before in G**gle Earth.

I get closer and closer, until I hit an invisible wall. I try to push the wall with my hands but, it is really sturdy like pushing a brick wall. Of course, slamming my fist on it didn't even work. Trying to feel anything around it to find an ending or opening to the wall didn't work.

In my mind for some reason, I know if I get there on the planet, I will be home free to wake from this crazy dream. Thus, for a while I continue to find a way pass through these invisible wall.

In the end I frustrate myself and become angry. I punch and punch at the wall with all my wrath and strength, until finally I can feel a crack in the wall. A soothing sensation comes from the fracture in the wall. It somehow feels really good smelling from it, like smelling a good meal. 'Is someone cooking?'

I continue to punch the fracture until it becomes a small hole that is the same size a small coin. I try to enlarge it by poking my pinky finger through it but, it won't become wider.

Suddenly, I can feel a sharp pain on my pinky finger. No, this is not a dream. Oh god, this kind of pain should have waken me up.

The pain grows in intensity, until I realize the hole is closing up. My finger gets stuck. The pain becomes so unbearable, I start thrashing about. Until, finally I lost my consciousness.
