I awoke suddenly, finding myself in my own bed. Was I sleeping? I was? Confusion and disorientation washed over me.
What just happened? How did I end up here? Was it all just a dream? All along?
It couldn't have been a dream, everything was too vivid, too real.
The memories of the surreal experience flooded my mind. From the moment I sat down with Thomas in the kitchen to enjoy his homemade meal, things took an inexplicable turn.
It led me to a baffling world I couldn't comprehend. Now, I was back in the familiar guest room, and it didn't make any sense.
Turning my gaze to the other side of the room, I saw my brother still sound asleep, seemingly undisturbed by the bizarre events. I decided I needed to clear my head and put an end to this relentless rumination.
I rose from the bed, making my way to the window. With a gentle sweep of the curtain, the outside world came into view.
