Real?

In the dead of night a figure can be seen breathing heavily in a dirty alleyway holding an unmoving man's collar and if u look more closely you could see another man laying down few meters away and also unmoving

•••

"What the hell?"

-Thud

I Released my grip on the man's collar followed by also releasing the grip of the gun causing the two to fall to the ground

"Haaah.....Haaaaah"

Sweat running down my face and my heart's beating aggressively

'Did I actually did this somehow?'

"Haaaaaaah...Haaaaah"

'No, There's no way I did this. There must be someone'

I looked around the alleyway to see if there's someone here with me, but in my surprise I saw no one

"Calm down, Haaaaaah. Think Luka, Nothing makes sense right now"

With that, I slowly and slowly calmed down

"Haaaaaah...Haaah"

After calming myself, I looked at the two figures and tried to process everything that had happened

'I don't remember anything. Suddenly the man is dead in my arms and I'm holding a gun. There's no one in sight'

Suddenly, A thought came to mind

"This must be a dream, Yeah this must be!"

I came up with the conclusion because of everything right now not making sense

'This must be one of my dreams that always felt real, Like Doctor and that room'

I looked around and barely saw a small rock and picked it up

'Normally my dreams only consist of a small room and Doctor'

I didn't know why do I have those dreams but I always treated it like some illness of mine. I never talked about it to not worry....her.

"Haaaaaah"

Looking at the corpses right infront of me, I gripped the rock tightly and aimed for the figure infront of me

'Why am I not feeling disgust due to the fact that the man's face has a whole in it'

"Well whatever, This wasn't real anyway"

I threw the small rock expecting to for it to go through the corpse but

-Thack

"What?"

'No way'

My whole world started crushing down and started panicking again

"What the hell?"

'No no no no! This isn't real'

"Wake up!"

With my shout I started punching myself in the face over and over again

"Wake the fuck up"

@#$_&-+()/*"':;!?

Opening my eyes I saw a figure in front of me

"Luka what's wrong?"

It was Gilbert my therapist

"What?"

Confused, I looked around the place and noticed something

"I'm in Doctors room"

Gilbert smiled and looked at me

"So, How's your life in those dreams? Isn't having fun with friends, Well...fun?"

"What do you mean?"

Gilbert then looked at him in silence and said

"Isn't that why you're here?"

"Here for what?"

"You're gonna tell your stories to me, haven't you forgotten about Bruce,Sars and Miguel?"

"Wha- What?"

I started standing up and took an apple in my hand

"Are you hungry?"

Gilbert looked at him in a worried face

"Doctor you aren't real"

I then threw the apple towards Gilbert and to my surprise it didn't pass through

"Ahh..this again"

Gilbert pace palmed and look at Luka for the second time

"This is reality, You don't know what's dream or what's reality"

"Let me go back!"

I ran towards Gilbert and strangled him

"Sigh...Now"

Suddenly two man grabbed each of my hands

"This is reality Luka....Those-"

"Noooo!"

I started struggling to be free from their grabbing and started shouting

"..Those dreams or I'd say your reality aren't really real, because they're dreams"

"..."

I didn't respond and I just frozed when he said those words

"Inject it"

With those words I felt a stinging sensation in my arm

"What?"

Suddenly, My vision becomes blurry and I felt my consciousness fading away

•••

Opening my eyes I saw a T.V. Infront of me and It seems that I'm in my room. I tried to look around and noticed that I can't move

"aghhhhhhg"

I tried shouted in panic but my shout is barely loud, even I can't move my mouth. I can only breath

"Luka, Just try to process everything okay? Just like every time

The voice that seems to be Gilbert's

-Clank

With the sound of the door shutting I was left in a room with a T.V. Infront of me. The T.V. isn't even working, its just a dvd logo moving around it

"aghhhhhhhg"

A few minutes later and with a few shouts, I started getting desperate

"aghh aghhh wagg(Please let me go home, I'll do anything)"

"aghhh wah gah(I don't eant to be here anymore)"

Tears started flowing down my eyes and stopped

"Agh..."

-Clank

"I get it, You're sad that those aren't real"

I looked at him and it seemed to be Gilbert and felt a stinging sensation again but now I saw what is the cause of that sensation

"I'm just injecting you with the antidote"

Within seconds I gained control of my body

and asked

"Why?"

"I just wanted to talk"

"Hmm?"

"I do this everytime with you I know you won't attack me"

Gilbert started to stand infront of me

"So, You can ask me anything"

I gripped my hand and looked at him seriously

"Why am I here?"

"So it started at-"

"TLDR?"(Too long didn't read)

"Basically, You killed two people in an alleyway

and passed out. You didn't go to prison because they tagged you as crazy"

I looked down in sadness but something came to my mind

"So, My friends are real and..mom?"

"Yes, They visit you every Tuesday"

"Haaah"

A breath of relief came out of me and I continued

"Say why do I always just got here, I felt like I just killed the man a few hours ago"

"You...are very unfortunate to relive all that again and again and just wake up here"

He looked at me in worry and smiled

"Say, Your questions are weird today"

"What do you mean?"

"You normally ask, 'How would I come back' or 'This is a dream isn't it?'."

"Because what can I do? It is what it is right?"

Gilbert looked at me in shock and hugged me

"You finally accepted"

"What?"

"About this being a reality"

"Mmm"

He let go of his hug and looked at me happily

"You might start to heal from your trauma"

"Ye-yes"

"Oh! I can finally show you around this place"

"Sure"

•••

He showed me around the whole hospital, A mental hospital and saw other people like me

who is suffering and even made friends after all of our chatting with my new friends that is..kinda crazy(obviously) with their topics I went to find Gilbert and saw him

"Doctor"

"You know you can call me Gilbert"

"Yes but actually no"

"Sigh....What is it?"

"What day is it today?"

He smiled and said

"I was gonna surprise you but it's Tuesday"

"Really?"

I jumped in happiness

"Though you'll meet them today it'll be in a few hours"

"It's ok!"

-Growl

"Hahahahaha...It seems that you're hungry"

"Ye-yeah"

Embarrassed I looked away and started turning red

'This isn't so bad after all'

I smiled and as I was about to looked back at doctor I saw a crack in a wall

"Doctor there's a crack there"

"Where?"

"There"

"I can't see it"

"Huh?"

I looked back looking confused and heard something

(You Should Leave This Is A Dream)

Suddenly I felt the urge to break the wall and started running towards it

"Wait what are you doing?"

I was now Infront of it and didn't resist the urge to punch it

-Crack

"..."

-Crack! Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, Everything started breaking. Even Gilbert whole body broke into peaces.

-Cracash!!!

After all the the word literary started crumbling down, I saw darkness then a huge padlock

(Too Early)

-Crack

The Huge padlock started a small crack that Is barely visible

"Who are you!"

"..."

A man appeared with all chains in his body that seems to be connected to the huge padlock

"!"

It felt Like I was looking and the mirror but I wasn't.....

"Me?"

"..."

@#$_&-+()/*"':;!?

•••

Suddenly In the dark I was back

"...Sigh"

-Thump

I fell butt first and started laughing

"Hahahhaha, What a day"

After laughing I looked at the two figures and started to just drag them into a corner

'It seems that there's no CCTV around here, I'll probably wont go to jail'

Not gonna admit it but the killing inside the slumps is been normal, The government has turned their back and acted like it's nothing. Of course people hated it, And all they can do is..I guess hate,

"Why am I relieved that there's actually no laws in the slumps"

'I'll just wish that This part is considered slumps but then again There's no witnesses and I'm not even sure if I'm really the one that killed them'

Then a thought came to me

"Is that? The real me? or Really just a weird dream after my mental breakdown"

-Ring ring ring

My heart beat stopped for a second and but immediately recognized it as my phone just ringing

"Where are you right now? Are you hungry?"

It was my mom

"I just went out to buy food in a convenience store Mom"

"What?"

"I said I was just to buy food-"

"No, What did you just call me- never mind, Just be careful okay? I heard the slumps is dangerous "

"Okay"

-Toot

After the call I left the alleyway and to buy food

"I'm not hungry anymore"

I stopped on my tracks and looked at my body. It was pretty dirty but no blood visible whatsoever

"Thank god"
