With the chirping sound of birds and serenity, that morning brings a new day arrived. In a messy room sat a young man on his bed with a face that was by no means calm or sleepy. The man was profusely sweating with his hand placed on the head.
Ace thoughtå—
'What was that dream that I saw just now?'
In the dream, Ace saw dead bodies of his parents, friends who were given a horrific death and saw a big tower which gave him chills down his spine, and some people whose faces were covered in a dark veils, they were laughing at him for some reason. Suddenly while having these thoughts he had some negative emotions welling up inside of him. He didn't know where these emotions such as anger and pain came from.
Suddenly, after hearing the alarm ringing beside his bed. He pushed these thoughts aside and got into the bathroom to get ready. Today he didn't have to go to college as it was Sunday so, he had booked two movie tickets with his friend to go to. He was going to finally meet his buddy Ryan after quite some time.
Ryan was an orphan, his parents died in a car accident and no one wanted to adopt him from his relatives so he was sent to an orphanage. Facing these hardships at a young with no one to rely on, he matured quite early from his peers in the school. He was certainly handsome compared to other boys but not as handsome as compared to Ace. Ace and Ryan met with a fateful encounter that occurred in a seemingly boring place which was their school library and after that, they became very close friends. Now, Ryan was working in police as a branch inspector.
After coming out of the bathroom Ace wore a casual outfit i.e. a plain red shirt with blue jeans. He wasn't a fan of formal wear and liked simple outfits. After getting ready he got out of his house which was also very simple and got into his car to drive to the destination. He and Ryan were meeting in a bar 3km from his home which was neither too close nor too far. After arriving, he parked the car in the lobby got into the bar but after entering he couldn't find him. After deciding to wait for him Ace moved towards the front bar and sat there for some time without ordering a drink. After fifteen minutes of wait Ryan finally arrived.
Seeing Ace he gestured with his hand and came in front of him. While taking his seat they both ordered some beer from the bartender.
"Why were you so late today buddy?"
"Nowadays the work isn't going well. There are many weird cases flooding in the department"
"What type of cases are you currently investigating?"
"Many people are currently missing and some cults are forming in the neighborhood district"
"The people who are missing have no resemblance and they just simply vanish."
"That's quite troubling, I will contact you if I get my hands on any information"
While talking about the general things and how life is nowadays, they both had forgotten about the time and now it was only 20 minutes before the movie starts. After rushing to the theatre, they got there in time as only ads were being shown on the screen.
When the sky gradually turning dark. they both came out of the theatre while talking about the movie and were starting to bid farewell when suddenly an earthquake happened with lighting coming out of the clouds. The weather very clear a moment ago but suddenly became like this.
While both were thinking about what happened. A blinding light came with a loud crashing-like sound behind them.
When both of them turned backward they saw a huge tower. While seeing this tower Ace's mind was ringing bells to no go near it.
With a slight headache and a disturbing feeling, he started to decide what to do.
