A) The Demonic Plague Part 1
3rd Pov
The sound of beeping filled the room. The man looked helplessly at the figure of his father lying on the hospital bed. Suddenly the beeping stopped, he was dead.
Tears threatened to pour out of his eyes. Soon nurses and doctor arrived in the room, declaring his father dead. He went with the doctor, who sighed and said," It is already the sixteenth death."
The man wiped away his tears and asked," Doctor, why? Why is this happening to me? Us?", the doctor sighed. They sat on the chairs, and Doctor said," It is the work of new disease... Your father is dead, and your mother is still infected.
He looked at the glass beside him, the man's focus shifted on the glass, and he witnessed a heart-breaking scene.
" Gugugu", an old woman, cladded in tradition saree was beating her head on the wall with a silly smile on her face. She looked mentally ill no matter how you see.
" Mama", the tears poured from the man's eyes, he couldn't bear the scene of his mother, acting like a mentally ill person with half of her skin looking like it was charred.
She was ill, this new disease has taken her sanity way, leaving but an empty shell of her former self. The Doctor sighed and said," Compared to your father, your mother has been able to resist the infection, however her condition isn't look optimistic."
Suddenly his mother creepily turned her head towards them, and then with a smile walked towards the wall and slammed it with her hands.
However, contrary to the expected crazy look on her face, a grieving look on her face formed. Her eyes became moist," Son...", his heart almost broke hearing the voice.
A little bit of his mother was still left, somewhere in that horrific body. " She is suffering... She is begging me... To free her... To free her from this pain!", the man shouted, and the doctor sighed, taking out a shotgun.
" Go inside and kill her... It will free her from the pain", The Doctor handed the gun to the man, who took it, and quickly went inside the room.
" Gugugu... Son, how are you?", she said as she slammed her head against the glass panel, with trembling hands the man aimed the shot gun, and-
Boom! Boom!
Her bloody figure fell on the ground with a thud, the man broke into tears. Unbelieving of what he has done, the shotgun fell from his hand. At some point, the doctor came behind him and patted his back reassuringly.
" It has to be done", the doctor said, and the man nodded, suddenly his focus shifted to his hands, and a terrifying scene came to appear.
The man's hand at some point turned black with veins turning golden. Without a doubt, he too was infected. The man looked at it horrified and so the doctor," It happened... Again", the doctor said with a frown.
Then they came out of the room, in the hallway as they walked through. The scenes of anguish filled the rooms. In each room, several peopled lied on the hospital beds, without hope suffering from the plague.
" A few months prior, a disease broke in this village", the doctor narrated as they stopped in front of one of the rooms," The conditions for this disease spreading is unknown, there are no found pathogens, as if the disease isn't a physical condition at all."
" The people infected with this disease experience a variety of random symptoms not associated to each other leaving out a few common, like mental illness, darkening of the skin, the colour of blood vessels changing, etc. "
The man looked inside the room, an extremely fat man was lying on the hospital bed, and upon seeing them, the man smiled, it was creepy as hell as his lips parted flashing a creepy smile.
The man couldn't help but feel chill," The entire village has been in lockdown, the government is on alert and this sole hospital in this village has been filled with patients, doctors and nurses working day and night to tend to the patients", the doctor said.
The doctor turned towards him and pointed at his hands," Your entire family except you had been affected with the disease, and now... You as well", the doctor said with utmost seriousness.
" Is there no way to heal this disease? Doctor, there must be a way! A way out of this", the man said with trembling hands as the doctor led him to another hospital room. A room he was familiar with, a room where his sister was lying.
" As of now- No, there is no way to cure or prevent this disease. This disease spreads mysteriously and with no identified pathogen causing this. We are even unaware of what is causing this disease"
The man nodded and entered the room, he looked at his sister sleeping quietly on the bed. Her body was thin, there were no hair on her head, her body extremely pale.
He looked at her with moist eyes and walked towards her. She was sleeping, and he planted a kiss on her forehead, and looked at her to his heart's content before leaving the room.
" Your family has survived the longest, with being your sister. If we can find out the reason behind this, perhaps we can make a cure- A cure for all of this and prevent this nightmare."
There was excitement in the voice of the doctor but for man it wasn't the same," I- don't know doctor, I am now infected as well... And my parents died, I doubt we can help with anything."
" Listen, I know you are experiencing grief and had just lost your parents, but listen to me- All the hope isn' ", suddenly the entire place shook interuppting the doctor.
" W-What is happening?", the man stood up with panic, the doctor gritted his teeth and said," Probably an Earthquake! Let's get out! "
The man nodded and followed him outside the room, to the hallway, suddenly the doctor froze in his track, confusing the man following him.
" What happened?", the man asked in confusion while doctor trembled, his face became pale as he looked at his side.
The man followed his direction, and what he saw... He wished he never had seen that... The fat man was eating the flesh of a nurse.
He was standing and with a creepy grin on his face he chewed the neck of the nurse, her head was nowhere to be found.
The blood was splattered all over the place and the shirt of the fat man was covered with blood. The red droplets dripped on the floor, the man pulled her oseophagus with his teeth and then chewed it.
The man's legs started trembling while the doctor remained frozen at his place, too stunned to do anything.
The fat man stopped chewing the flesh of the nurse, it stopped and looked towards them, and then grinned.

B) People living on the Trees Part 1
The land was plain and green as far as one can see, there were trees at equal distances to each other. On the leaves of the trees, one can see tiny figures roaming around.
These tiny figures were none other than the people. They were doing their daily work, procuring food for their families, when a figure screamed," A Giant is coming!! Everyone quickly hide!"
The people halted, stopping all the work they were doing, fear filled their eyes and with haste they quickly started hiding.
People on the upper branches quickly laid on the leaves and grabbed the leaves with all their strength, panting in fear.
Meanwhile people on the lower branches quickly entered the entrances in the branches, hiding inside them. The entire place bustling with people became silent.
On the distance, a huge figure walked towards the tree. The huge figure was completely naked, and it was humanoid in shape, however it wasn't a human, but a giant.
Giants ate small people, and they treated them as but food. The giants came in various sizes, ranging from half metre to three metres.
The Giant that was walking towards the tree, was around one and half a metre. The Giant walked with a creepy grin on his face.
The Giant stopped by the trees and looked above towards the leaves, watching if there were any small people, it looked from a tree to tree.
Finally, it arrived at their tree, and looked above, a person in the lower branch was too far from the trunk and had to hide in the leaves.
The person sweated as the giant looked carefully towards it, as if spotting him, the giant narrowed its eyes and moved closer to the trunk.
Some people in the trunk, on the base of the tree slowly opened a very small opening in the base and looked at the giant above.
" What happened? Why the Giant stopped before our tree?", a person said.
" Maybe it spotted one person?", another suggested.
" Ridiculous! Who would not hide despite the severity of the situation", another complained.
As they bickered, a small person, took out a telescope and turned it upwards," Wait! I see Jack!", the girl said.
Everyone panicked," Jack?! Has the giant spotted him? ", suddenly the giant looked down, and the girl quickly pulled the telescope back, and closed the opening.
The Giant kneeled down and looked at the trunk, not finding any anomaly, it slowly turned its head upwards looking at the tree, where it could see the silhouette of something, however after watching it sometime the Giant couldn't make anything of it, so it stood up and walked away towards another tree.
The small people in the tree sighed, the giant walked towards a tree on the left, and suddenly shrieked.
" Oh! No! The Giant seemed to find someone!", the girl peeked through the telescope seeing a figure on a lower branch.
The Giant suddenly grinned and- Slammed the tree, the tree shook hard, the leaves rustled, and dozens of people fell down.
" No!!"
" It can't be!"
" Please spare me!"
Jack and others looked at the scene with horror as the giant grabbed several people who had fell down, and munched them.
The Giant deliberately chewed them, giving them more pain as he ate them. After feasting on several people, the giant looked satisfied, blood dripping from it's teeth.
Small limbs, heads splattered all over the place, it burped satisfied and slowly walked away, vanishing in the horizon.
The small again came out, looking at the dreadful scene with horror. " This is going to be tough, they have to clean the dead bodies otherwise other giants will know there are small people on that tree", someone said.
" Where is Jack?! Just where is he?", an old man came yelling, his face full of anger.
" Chief!", a man called out respectely.
" Do you know where Jack is? Because of him, we almost encountered the same thing as them!", his words caused gasps to resound.
Jack slowly came out of the crowd, standing in front of them. " There you are! Just tell me why? Why didn't you hide despite the warning?"
" I- I tried, but I almost slipped down! By the time I climbed up, the Giant was almost there! ", Jack replied.
Everyone's anger cooled down hearing his words," Chief, leave him- He is just a child, after all, and everyone is safe- So", chief's son said.
He sighed and nodded, and Jack breathed in relief while casting a last glance at the tree which took the burn.

(A/N: I hope you enjoyed this episode! The part B is heavily modified, as I forgot most of the dream and can only recall the basic plot, however I don't need to tell which anime I have seen to have such dreams, and just know I had several of such dreams. Two of which I remember, including this. So till next chapter! Bye! Bye!)
