From Create Your Own Story

Asleep, you toss and turn in bed, your eyes shut tightly as your dream self runs from a knife-wielding shadow. The man's face appears familiar to you, but you can't quite place it. Your dream self continues to run, deep into the endless darkness that's always engulfed your dreams--ever since you turned five and realized things aren't as they should be, anyway. At last, your dream self collapses onto the floor which burns his soft skin with sheer coldness.

They finally convinced you to seek refuge at the tender age of twelve and three-fourths, which you found in the form of very soothing and distracting weed.

Tomorrow's a school day, but you don't particularly care.

Though, you are running out, and you might need it so more other day... As you think, you catch sight of your computer. Your screen saver's still running, the words "Hello.", "How are you?", and "I am good." taking turns popping up and fading away.

After a bit of thought, you choose to...
