Attacked

Stanley stabbed himself in the chest with his sword in his dream and suddenly found himself awakened with pain in his chest that came out of nowhere.

He looked at his chest and saw a knife dug into it, albeit not very deep. He looked up and saw the surprised eyes of someone staring directly at him.

It took Stanley a moment to understand that he was being stabbed for real and this wasn't the dream that he had been seeing.

He punched at the person with a force that only he could produce. However, before the punch landed, the person let go of something on their arm and Stanley's entire arm went through the face, not touching her in the least.

Stanley stumbled, his right arm that had strained just half a day ago pained as the force he threw out landed nowhere.

He quickly stumbled out of bed, a pain in his shoulder and one in his chest. He felt his chest and realized the knife had landed on his ribcage, which was why it hadn't hurt him that much.
