As I lay there, blissfully in a dream. I start to hear an annoying ringing sound.

The moment the noise started I turned over to figure out what the sound was. Come to find out it was my phone. . . 

"Damn it!"

I had just realized my phone had been going off for the past 20 minutes when I checked the time on it. I had set up a few alarms just in case I didn't wake up, and sadly that was the case. The phone was on its last alarm.

"How could I have slept so damn long! This is ridiculous!"

I jumped out of bed in a rush to get to the bathroom to get cleaned up. While I was washing up, my phone rang again. I couldn't answer it and the call went straight to voicemail. When I had gotten out of the shower after about ten minutes, I decided to go and look at my phone to figure out who had called me. It was a weirdly long number. Usually when numbers called they only had ten or eleven digits, but this one had sixteen. 

Whoever called didn't leave a voicemail so I ignored it for now. 

After getting dressed, I ran downstairs to grab a piece of toast. When I was about to run out the front door I heard my mother call out.

"HEY!" she yelled.

"Sorry mom, I am running really late already! What do you need?" I said.

"Can you not give your mother a hug and kiss before you go barreling through the house in the morning?" she commented with a slight mocking tone.

"Grr. . ." 

I ran back to give her a hug and a kiss, then I rushed to the front door and left the house.

I was on my way to the bus station to catch a ride to the Comic Con I had decided to go to earlier this week. It was two hours away from where I lived, so I had to make sure I reached the station on time.

I arrived at the bus station twenty minutes later, and barely made it in time to hop onto the bus.

On my way to the Comic Con, I received a text from my best friend.

Devin: Hey man, where are you at??

Jason: Am currently on my way to the Comic Con that I had told you about last week.

Devin: Oh nice! I'm already here waiting

on you to show up!

Jason: Well I'll be there in about an hour!

So I'll see you soon bud!

Devin: Alrighty m8, talk to you soon!

After the text messages, I closed my eyes for a little bit before I reached my destination. When I was sitting there with my eyes closed I began to dream of something odd. It started with me falling through a black hole in the floor, and then it brought me up to a point where I was in a game creation screen. It was really different because I had never had a dream like this before. 

When I decided to test out this dream, I heard a scratchy noise coming from somewhere near me. I looked around, the area went black and then I slowly opened my eyes. It was the bus driver saying we had arrived at the Comic Con.

I grabbed my bag and walked off the bus. I waited near where the bus dropped me off and texted Devin.

Jason: Hey, I just got here! I'm where the bus drops people off at.

Devin: Alrighty, on my way!

I didn't have to wait too long for him to show up.

"Yo!" I yelled to Devin.

"Hey, mate!" Devin said while charging toward me.

We gave each other knucks and then walked toward the entrance of the building with the Comic Con in it. Once we arrived at the entrance we ended up buying the tickets for the Premium Pass, which cost quite a bit of money. For one person to have Premium Pass, it had cost $200. Luckily, I had been saving for quite awhile to go to this show. 

Once we paid and received our Premium Pass necklaces, we walked in and checked out the place. The vendor area had tons of different products which we could buy, anime areas, movie props, actor/actress signings, and tons more!

"Holy shit!" Devin exclaimed.

"I know, man, this place is amazing! They have got everything here," I said.

We talked it over and decided to walk around, and take a look at everything we possibly could.

After a bit I motioned him to stop at this one stall. It was different from the rest of the displays. It only had a person sitting behind a table and that was it. 

I approached and said, "Hello, I was wondering what you've got to show us?" I couldn't tell if the person was male or female.

I waited for a few moments, but the person didn't even look up at us. I started to feel really weird all of a sudden, but put that feeling at the back of my mind. 

I turned to Devin who was also looking at the person. "Hey, why don't we walk away from this stall. It's kind of creeping me out," I whispered into Devin's ear.

When I said that, I noticed the color had drained from Devin's face.. He turned toward me and nodded. We walked away from the person when suddenly we heard a noise. 

We turned and we finally got to see the person's face. It was a beautiful dark skinned lady. It wasn't really dark skinned though, it was more like a dark grey. Which is really different for me. The lady then looked right at me with a smile and said, "I'll see you soon." She aimed her words at me and chuckled.

"Let us get out of here!" I yelled at Devin.

We ran away from the table for a distance, until we were unable to see her or the table. When we stopped, I noticed that I was having a slight panic attack ever since the lady started to chuckle. I looked over at Devin, and he was breathing even harder than what I was.. 

I motioned to Devin that we should keep moving and go around the other stalls for now. 

Once we had viewed all of the stalls and had bought a few items, I noticed the time had already gone by quickly.

"Hey Devin, I think it is time we head out. It is already close to 4pm and we have already seen everything here." 

"Yeah I think you are right. Are you going to ride a bus home or do you want a ride?" he asked.

"I'll ride the bus home. I had bought a round trip ticket at the bus station earlier. I might as well use it," I told him.

So we parted ways at the bus stop once my bus showed up. It had taken me close to two hours before I made it back to the station near my house. I decided not to call my mom for a ride, and walked home while I thought about what the lady said to me. It really threw me for a loop. 

When I got to an intersection, I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly, there was a horn blowing to my left. I turned my head and all I saw was the front end of a truck before I blacked out.
