Chapter 3 - When You Have A Great Idea But Can’t Finish It..

[Sleepwalk]

I..I at the age of 5 have started sleepwalking.

My mom would tell me that I would get up around midnight and start walking around. Sometimes I would start flushing the toilet after sitting on it after a minute or two. I would sleepwalk every night. At first it was a little bit worrying and then nobody really worried as much because I never left the house while sleepwalking. And it became kind of a specialty during family reunions.

Everything changed on the third year On my job. You want to know why I know exactly why it changed? Well, it's because I received a certain call from an anonymous client..

My job was to just talk with people on the phone. Whether it be consultation about work or instructions, or just people who needed venting. It was hard the first year... but I didn't quit because the pay was good and I didn't need to meet anyone in person, so I didn't quit. The second year.. half way through I just started saying what people wanted to hear, anything to soothe their heart and my inability to really do anything tangible for them..

However in my third year, I received a call, a client, who left me with a sentence: "I really want to meet you. You helped me a lot and I think you can help a lot of others as well. I want to show my gratitude. When you open your eyes, remember, don't scream."

I slept that night and woke up in a different place— no, it should a different world.

All around me... weren't human!
