"Don't worry Eric, you should be fine. Go home and get some rest if anything happens just come in." "Alright, thank you." I give him a handshake and leave the hospital doors. I take in a deep breath of fresh air. I never really realized how stuffed up I was in that room.
A red truck pulls up and I see no other than Oliva. "Hey man! Glad to see you are alive!" She yells out at me. I roll my eyes and climb into the seat beside her. "As alive as I can be." I buckle myself up and smile at her. "Yeah, I heard what happened." "Not even a call huh?" I smack her arm. "I did! They just didn't let me talk to you and I couldn't come to see you!" "I'm playing Oliva, don't stress out hehe." "I was really worried for you Eric. I was scared even." She looked down at her hands. "Hey, don't worry about me, ok. I'm not going anywhere." I reach over and grab one of her hands. "Yeah, you can't seem to die huh?" "Hey!" I take my hand away and cross my arms. "HAHA, I'm just playing." She laughed at me. "Take me home." I wave my hand at her and look to the front of the car. "Yes, my king." She does this weird fancy wave with her hand. I roll my eyes again and shake my head.
The road home was slow and relaxing if I'm telling the truth. I almost fell asleep but the fear of going back to whatever has been happening made me stay awake. That fear has been growing and growing more and more. I don't know what it is t\and that makes it the worst part. It could just be a nightmare that has been going on and on. But I'm not sure how that can happen as much as it did. Can dreams repeat like it has been happening? I'm gonna have to do some research when I get home.
"Thanks for the ride home Oliva." "No problem Eric, I'll call you later." I give her a wave goodbye and walk inside my apartment. I open the door with the key inside my bag. "Mom! Dad, I'm home!" I yell out but only to hear nothing in return. "Of course no one is home. Not like they came or called the hospital while I was there." I toss my bag over to the chair near the tv. I walk to the bathroom ready to take a warm shower and go to bed in my bed.
I head into my bedroom to grab some clothes. As soon as I opened my drawer the air around me went gold and then everything went silent. I blink a few times and shake it off. I grab some shorts and a white shirt. I turn around and head to the bathroom. I walked in and looked into the mirror. I looked a mess nonetheless. I opened the shower door and tried to turn the knobs on. But nothing came out and no sound was heard. "What the heck.." I jerked my body back and ran to my bedroom window. I looked out and once again I saw the sky turning black again.
I wasn't scared this time around. I ran out my front door and ran down the steps. Nothing was moving but the wind and the black clouds. The air was hot and made my skin crawl. I could hear this growling, almost moaning sound. It was like I was in a horror movie. But even with the sounds I still saw nothing that would be causing the sounds. I take a good look around me to see people suck. Just as if time had stopped. I walked up to a lady that was about to get into her car. I reached out and touched her arm. She was cold as if she was dead. But she still didn't move on her own.
"What the hell? Why is everything just stuck?" All of a sudden I felt light-headed. I backed up and hit the sidewalk. "Are you okay sir?" I hear a female voice say to me. I look up and see the lady I just walked up to. I take a look around and see everything is back to normal. "I...Uh yeah, I'm ok." I stood up and smiled at her. "Ok, take care." She says with a wave. She walked to her car and got in. I sigh and turn to walk back over to my apartment. I walk back inside and shut the door behind me. I sit down on the chair in front of the tv. Whatever has been happening has only happened to me. From what I have been seeing at least. Maybe there are more people like me? Maybe a monster out there?

Maybe I can control it?
