Dream 52

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Nov 08, 2022

Oliver woke up. But not in his bed. Not with the same pyjamas that he wore before. Not in the same room. His skin was absolutely white. The room he awoke in was with white walls and grey flooring. "Mom? Dad?" said Oliver "What did you do to my room? And I think something's wrong with my skin" he walked to the mirror that was on the wall. Oliver looked different too. His eyes were now orange instead of brown and his hair was also as white as his skin. "What happened to me?" Oliver asked himself. A door appeared next to the mirror, he went to the door and opened it. In the next room was a sofa chair with a fireplace. "Greetings" said a mysterious voice from the sofa chair "I was expecting you..." "Who are you? Where am I?" asked Oliver "Well..." said the mysterious voice. Suddenly, a diamond shaped head floated in front of the sofa chair and towards Oliver. "My name is ZX144. Wonderful to meet you, Oliver" said the floating head "How do you know my name?" asked Oliver "I know everyone who has this dream" said ZX144 "Wait. What do you mean you know EVERYONE who has THIS dream?" asked Oliver "Well, this is a very common dream for humans to have" replied ZX144. Oliver had a very worrying look on his face, he looked around the room and looked back at ZX144 "Uh... Did people... Die in this… Dream?" he asked "Yes" replied ZX144 "Oh no" said Oliver in panic. He ran to the bedroom door and tried to open it, but it was locked. "There's no going back, Oliver" said ZX144, but Oliver kept pulling and pushing on the door. "Let me out! LET ME OUT!" Oliver screamed "Oliver! Quiet down!" shouted ZX144 “You'll awaken him!" ZX144 grabbed Oliver and covered his mouth. Oliver slowly calmed down. ZX144 let go of him. Oliver laid down on the floor and cried. "I wanna go home" he said. ZX144 went closer to Oliver. "Oliver," he said. "I can try to get you out of here. But you have to listen to me and do everything I say" Oliver got up, he wiped the last bit of tears from his eye and spoke. "Ok" he said.


Oliver's alarm went off. He was still asleep. Oliver's mother Beth went into his room to turn the alarm off. "Oliver!" shouted Beth "Wake up! You're going to be late for school" Oliver didn't wake up "Oliver! Get up!" nothing happened "That's it. I'm getting your father!" She went downstairs to tell Oliver's father Jason to wake Oliver up. He went upstairs and slammed the door open "Oliver!" he shouted "I know you're awake. If you don't get out of bed RIGHT NOW. I will ground you for a WEEK!" Oliver did not do anything. Jason was furious, he went towards Oliver and grabbed him by the shoulders and shouted at him. "OLIVER! Wake up NOW!" Oliver didn't move. "Oliver?" said Jason. He noticed that he wasn't breathing, so he put his ear on his chest. His heart was beating. He knew what was wrong with him. He knew he was having Dream 52. Jason was upset. "Honey..." he said in disappointment "He's in Dream 52..." Beth was shocked. She hugged Jason and cried on his shoulder. They knew that they were going to lose Oliver. Forever.


Meanwhile in Dream 52, Oliver was walking with ZX144. "So who's 'him'?" asked Oliver "Well..." replied ZX144 "His name is Puzzler" "Why is he called that?" asked Oliver "He makes puzzles for the person in order to kill that person. You see, he was actually the first person ever to have this dream. So he claimed this dream as his own." replied ZX144. Oliver and ZX144 stopped at the door with a P sign on it. "Is this a Puzzle, X?" asked Oliver "Yes" replied ZX144. They went through the door. The room was black. There was writing on the wall. The writing said 'Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die' "It's a riddle!" Oliver pointed out "I'm not very good at those... But I'll try!" Oliver thought to himself for a while. He then thought of an answer "Fire. Right?" "Correct" said a mysterious voice, and a doorway opened "Great job, Oliver" said ZX144 "Thanks, X" said Oliver while going through the door "Wait" said ZX144 "Did you just call me X?" "Yeah" replied Oliver "I called you that before. I thought it would be much simpler to call you that instead of ZX1...44. That's OK, right?" "Yes, yes..." said ZX144 while looking to the other side in thought. "X..." He said to himself.
