Mother

Alex woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing violently. He groggily opened his eyes and a luxurious ceiling appeared on his vision. As his mind cleared up, realized that he was sleeping on the couch.

He grabbed the phone off the table beside him and glanced at caller ID. It was his mother.

He hastily accepted the call and a holographic image appeared in front of him. But it wasn't his mother. It was a man with slicked-back black hair and very deep red eyes. He looked a bit unnatural like his face wasn't something that a man should have.

Sleep evaporated off Alex's mind as he sat up on the couch, surprised by the appearance of a man he was unfamiliar with.

"Who are you? "He asked the man who was smiling.

"Well, aren't you a bit of forgetful? You just visited my house yesterday. How was the trip? "The man said, his smile widening.
