    (Fem pov!!)

    Lately, things haven’t been looking good at your place of work, as your boss had noticed you acting different and coming into work more later than usual. They didn’t tolerate they, they couldn’t, so they ended up firing you and you were forced to head back home for the day.

    Flinging your door open, you stormed inside before slamming the door closed and storming toward your room, flopping down onto the bed and groaning loudly into the pillow. Then, your lifted your head and grabbed your phone off the bedside table and adjusted your sitting position before mindlessly scrolling through it, and then you noticed a strange product named ‘Dream Pills.’

    This piqued your interest, and after you ordered them, you set your phone back onto your bedside table and laid down to attempt to nap. Only 20 minutes later, a knock on your door shot you awake, and of course you were confused… Who could possibly be here at this time? You stood yourself up and made your way towards your door, and you opened it to not find a person, but a brown box. Was this your package? Damn, that came quick…

    You took the box inside and placed it on your table, using a box cutter to cut it open and took the bottles of pills out and then made your way back to your room and settled back onto your bed before popping the bottle open and took a pill out. You stared at it, before you then placed it into your mouth and swallowed, flopping back onto your bed and staring up at ceiling before slowly drifting off into sleep.

    (FAST FORWARD TO THE 3RD DREAM BC THIS ALREADY LONG ENOUGH)

    You entered the third dream, still shaken from the ‘Nightmare’ you had just moments before. But as you looked around, still wiping away tears, you realized that this was yet another nightmare…. Swallowing your anger and just the slightest bit of fear, you traversed through this weird warehouse kind of place, but as you stared down at hallway with writing on the wall, you looked to your right and got jumpscared by something on the other side of the glass. You jumped back, but it copied your movements… Was this a weird mirror trick? You shrugged it off and continued to walk, trying to shake off that eerie feeling, before the figure on the other side let out a loud and non-human scream before running and bursting out the room. You stumbled backwards in shock, but the figure was slowly approaching with his hand out.

    “Mmh… M-my lady… J-join me in paradise….” He muttered in a slightly raspy and strained tone, before his ‘head’ tilted a bit, his obsessive gaze right on you. “Stay with me… Forever.”
