I saw it again.'
''again?''
'yeah.'
There was a mute horror in the room for a moment. 'What do you mean you saw it again Tyler?'
'Don't you guys tell me that I wasn't the only one to see it again' Tyler gasped. 'Answer me Aiden!'
'We too saw it again' 'Why are you guys quite!?' Aiden cried.
'So basically, all of us are dreaming about the same thing?' Noah conformed.
What you saw though?'
''There was a tall man, all in black, I wasn't able to figure him out, no clear face. All I saw his black coat; standing in front of our gate.I opened the door, and there was no one. '' Jake went on.
'I got chills and then later in that night, I saw that dream.' Tyler added.
'Oh! Look at you Tyler, you are getting goose bumps, are you okay? Noah asked.
'We all are getting this freaking dream about 16 months, every single night and now I am fed up with this, this can't be a co incidence, and we all don't need to ask WHY. This is affecting all of our lives, and look at Tyler, he seems the most affected, we need to do something 'bout this. Every night this dream becomes even scarier and now I am done with it.' Aiden confessed.
'Do you think it's here for any one of us?' Noah asked.
'I don't know man, but I don't think it's here for any "one" of us, because all of us are getting the same dream over and over again, so maybe it's here for all of us'. Aiden answered.
Till this time Jake discovered that Tyler is got really tensed and is about loose his conscious by thinking of the dream again and again, so he tired to change the atmosphere of the room by taking the discussion in a sarcastic way.
'How strange it is that a 'coat man' is behind all of us, meeting us every single night, but look at us we never invited him at our home, seems like he comes every night and stands in front of our door in hope that we would give him a feast!' 'Come on guys, I think we are thinking of a useless dream too much, let's leave this home for a few days, and take a break from our daily lives! What if we four go on a vacation? have fun and explore new places, look at Tyler, he definitely needs this break!'
''Ah! I think Jake is right, we need a break.
Are you ready Tyler? Where should we go?
A castle, an abandoned tunnel or house or a sea shore? '' Noah beamed.
And their rest of the afternoon continued with lengthy discussion of where they should go, what stuff they should take with them and the transport they should travel by and all the fun that they would have upon reaching there.
In the end all of them decided to visit a luxurious hotel and just spend a few days and enjoy the nature and the place.
The rest of the evening was a pleasing one, with the excitement of next day's trip.
They were all filled with optimism with the thought that this trip will bring an end to their nightmare, thinking that after returning from their trip there life would be as easy as pie.
But none of them knew that this was going to start a new journey of their lives, A journey that no one thought of, a journey that was going to change their beliefs, their view about life and themselves forever.
