"Is all we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?"

-----------------------

I dream.

Three times each day, every day.

When I wake up, I always find myself in a new place.

But my dreams... they remain constant.

I don't remember when they started, I'm not sure I even remember my birthday anymore.

My parents say it's ok though, that I was born special. I think stupid would be a better term.

That makes sense doesn't it, my brain is always foggy. I can't even seem to think straight anymore. I keep forgetting how my family looks, it's almost like I'm meeting new people every time I see them.

.....What was I saying again?

Arrghh...God damn it.

I-i can't remember.

No...no...no, it's happening again.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop It.

I SAID STOP THE GOD DAMNED BANGING!

I-im sorry, I think should be getting some sleep now.

I'll probably remember what I was saying then.

Yh... Just a little shut-eye.

That's all I need.

--------------------

No one knows why it happened but it did.

Planet Earth was no more, at least that's what they were told. The survivors were thrown into a sick game, nothing was illegal, empathy was dead and only power mattered. After all, only one could escape... And Galen, a deluded fool, just happened to be one of them.

How does the world burn through the eyes of a clinically mad man.
