Bruno had abruptly woken up. His dream felt too real and too terrifying…
That's why, even after he had woken up, his body still thought that it was in the dream, running around in a shallow sea of fire.
'Surely, it must have been real right?' He thought. His body was all sweaty, and not only that, but he felt as if he had been standing behind an actual fire.
'If the house isn't burning, then how come my body's so hot to the touch?!' More thoughts wandered inside Bruno's head, as he was starting to have doubts about what is real and what is not. Clearly, there was something going on. However, Bruno could not come up with an answer, simply because of how little the amount of available evidence there is for him, and because of how crazy he found himself to be at that moment.
