beginning of new era

A man with black hair and an athletic build equipped with a gas mask running from something in a dark corridor of a building huffing and after reaching the top, he screams Reaching a dead end, he turns back and he hears a blood-curdling scream straight out of a horror movie.

(Dreaming)...

a young man woke up, his eyes wide open. He couldn't move his back, drenched in sweat, his curly, messed-up hair obstructing his view Ah aah!!… Off, it's not going to stop. sigh What a nightmare!

"Actually, what was the nightmare again? I can't recall; it's so blurry, but why do I still feel chills? I need to google why we forget Dream so easily.

"Ah, man, I'm going to catch up on some air now." He goes towards the balcony, stumbling just as he is relaxing Hearing news about missing cases and the possibility of a wild animal from the forest running in his city and how movie release has caused chaos, all pranks YouTubers are taking pranks too far.

*images of zombies scaring people and biting them and another news story about a cheetah escaping the zoo which was near him, made him focus more on news

BREAKING NEWS @9 AM "A terrorist base is located in the forest; it wasn't discovered until a huge explosion occurred, causing a huge forest fire." Is it an attack by a terrorist? Watch @ 9 AM for full exclusive coverage. " but he failed to notice someone approaching him

His father, scaring the crap out of him, said in a deep voice, "What are you doing, Hruday? Do you know what time it is...?" huh.

"No Dad I was getting some fresh air as I was having nightmares, and in today's dream, I was paralyzed 

 "Didn't I tell you not to watch horror movies?"

"No, I didn't." I stopped it a week ago, Did you do everything I said? 

He Scowled "Yes, I did everything again and again, changed place, prayed before sleeping, and stopped watching movies his voice got pale because he realized he had raised his voice in the corridor as he continued 

Hruday was deeply frustrated, and his dad realized this and asked hruday, "You know you can always tell me anything, right? Now tell me what your dream was about?"

hruday said, "Ah, yes, I couldn't remember Hruday's dream properly; it was hazy All I remember is running.

"but I remember one vivid dream that was too real It happened on my trip with friends. In that dream, I woke up and drank a glass of weird-colored water, I think I did without realizing that after tasting its disgusting, funky taste, I tried to spit it and went outside because of some crashing noise There, I saw a mutilated crow, or was it?"

"it was massive It could be a crow that was severely wounded; the wound looked like tiny bullet holes and had red pulsating veins; it bit me in the arm and sucked my blood; and then it puked blood inside me. I was too perplexed because it all happened so fast and because of dizziness and shock, I couldn't react till it puked blood or something inside me. After that, I felt the pain; I threw it off and I don't remember anything after that."

hruday father suspiciously asked your friends: Don't have bad habits, right? 

See, that's why I hadn't told you till now that, they don't do drugs, and I don't either.

"You said it had been a week, right? Okay, then we will visit the hospital this evening. Now, get ready for school," his father said, filled with concern.

Hruday's mom, who heard this, started nagging, "Why are you still here? Do you know what the time now is? Have you ever gone to school early without my help? How long do I have to remind you?"

... after centuries later, he goes to the balcony again obediently as he stares at the sky. sighing, he says, After spending my "holy days," it doesn't feel good to return to school. No, it should be called hell, man; it's the start of hellish days, huh? This time I have to meet expectations and score well, or else my future ...

hruday could never imagine that what he said was going to come true and that he was going see what's real hell days

dogs were barking, bowh bowh!! barking of sound dogs caught the attention of Hruday

some unknown man in front of the gate of the quarters/his apartment had a shabby appearance covered in mud He was mumbling and screaming; he looked as if he were drunk or crazy. 

He asked, "Hey, what are you doing, Mr. ?" The man didn't respond and started acting wildly, and Hruday got goosebumps. He called his father to get rid of him

"Dad, look out there. That man is acting crazy; maybe he is drunk

His mom, hearing this, said to her husband with concern, "Not to go and to take every matter into his own hands. She advises him to ask for help from others, and then Hruday's father calls only a neighbor who was on good terms with him, and by the time they arrive closer to the drunken man... He screamed and fainted!! 

After some time, Hruday had to leave for school. The father and the neighbor helped the fainted man wake up by splashing water on his face.

The fainted, fragile man, who looked in his 40's, said, In a feeble, dull voice, he told about himself: his place, his work, and the story behind his present condition. The two learned that He was a truck driver from Mumbai

The driver asked, "Sir, I have a feeling that I have been in this state for a long time. I need to go to my place. Can you please tell me where I am and what day it is today?"

The driver was terrified to know the date and said that lately he had been experiencing hallucinations and blackouts. He ignored it because of the medical expenses, and he thought it was his colleague's mischief. It became dangerous, and he started to sleepwalk and ended up in a dump or eating lots of food. He was unconscious for 3 days and now found himself here in an unknown city.!!!

His father thought, "Isn't it a new disease that came on the news? " no maybe he just has Alzheimer's.

Hruday hesitantly left, glancing at the truck driver, and headed towards his school, sighing. He covered 60 meters, feeling uneasy due to the drunken crowd near the bar. Despite the general disdain for the newly established bar, it attracted many customers who had bribed the local police. Being backed by a local politician, no one dared to challenge it. Even though he was aware that there shouldn't be any stores selling cigarettes and alcohol within a 1-kilometer radius, he felt powerless to act.

he also noticed the same distant scream he used to hear in Kitchen, thinking this could be the sound of the fair that came every summer but still, he didn't know why he felt uneasy seeing his favorite street dogs missing and their friends chasing the drunken man It even bit him. Startled, hruday quickened his pace towards his school, not wanting to be chased by crazy dogs passing Could it be that they are infected by rabies? 

he walked faster, turning and looking back to where Bucher was at the meat store, helping others fend off these dogs 

 Hruday wanted to share his weird experience that just happened, knowing exactly what they would say Distant chatter Hruday enters the classroom and talks to his true friends, though he got to know them recently, who accept his nerdy side. They were very different; it seemed that he ran and took refuge with them.

Their combination felt weird to others, but for them, it was a good bond. Hruday always compared school to the jungle, where teachers are dinosaurs and students are various animals Here, hruday was a half-ass potential fox whose position was declining day by day and got somewhat restored enough to survive by joining the dare wolves

 hruday was on the verge of getting bullied by everyone and he had a lot of potential. According to his teachers and some toppers who attended quizzes together, his friends were saviors to him he was scared of losing them He felt pressured by everyone and had a hard time, due to ADHD and asthma, and felt school was suffocating.

Everyone was sharing their experiences and it is typically how all schools are on the day of reopening Everyone was but our hruday told the tale of his horrifying dreams His friends asked, "You are not telling from some movies, right?" 

 "Then you became a bird man, no raven," a tall, fat guy commented, laughing. "Grow up guys, still telling lies that aren't even convincing, going beyond borderline fantasy, huh? 

hruday friend Roy snapped back at this and said: How do you know Raven's character? wanna be a cool guy? u are just doing this to join their group, aren't you? So shut up

/////////

Distant chatter

Horny group: "Dude, I saw that girl's underwear," a fat guy commented, and his lackey, whose sole purpose is to suck the money by sucking up to him, said, "Don't lie, come on, bro."

"Let me prove it. Do you know what color bra our teacher is wearing, It's black."

"Dude, how do you know she hasn't come yet?" I saw her changing; I am the owner of her apartment.

"Oh, dude, what does that mean?" "Yes, he said with an air of arrogance." 

That cringy couple? "Oh, what happened to my baby, my Pookie? What is this bite mark? tell me, don't lie, I will buy your favorite Richart chocolates."

the girl replied, "No, baby, I want a good bag Don't you want your lovely cuddle muffin to look cute",

Group? : Dude, do you know now staying in bunkers is a trend these days?

Yeah, bro, some big yours tubers are making underground bunkers and making videos of staying there

Man, the trend these days

Group?: Hey bro, did you watch the new Revengers trailer 9? It was released on April 25. Where were you?

Dude, the internet is trolling this guy; it's hilarious.

This Mr. Beast Man, how is he not broke? 

`-`-`-`-`--`-`-`-`-`-`-`-`-`-``-`-`-`-`-`-``-`-``-`-`-`-``-`-`-``-`-`-`-`-`

Hruday: "Really, man, it was terrifying at first but now, after summarizing, I think it's exciting, dude You know, should I make a movie, I am sure it would be a hit, right?

If it happened for real, it would be amazing."

Roy: "Are you crazy, bro? Don't even dream about it, It would be amazing to only see it, but those who live would know its true horror."

John: Oh, trying to sound cool 

Michal: Yeah, man, trying to act mature, huh?

Roy: no bro experience, you know, I was terrified when a horror movie scene happened

Which movie was it ?? (everyone asked.)

Roy: 1920 LONDON

Whooow, spooky, hahaha awkward silence

hruday: internally thought Sigh", this guy Has he ever watched any other horror movies? He claims, though. Man, he is hung up with that, and that too he watched when he was a kid in his grandma's house; I don't even remember my grandma's face. He says it was the scariest, and the title didn't change even now. god help him. I guess he was traumatized by his grandma, not by the movie."

Hruday said enthusiastically, "Roy, do you think "ghosts" really exist, and what about "zombies"? I think it can happen, right? You know, mutation of a virus like it was in Am Legend movie or like the flu or the new movie infectents 

Michel said, "Bro, seriously, huh, Whatever that means, Jurassic World would become real."

A skinny guy who seemed to be passing by said enthusiastically, Hey, I watched it too; it was amazing.

Did Shravan let you stroll? Roy murmured in annoyance 

Troy straightly ignored as if he didn't hear, I think too, bro, it might happen We will never know what can happen

the teacher, who came in a while ago, tried to silence everyone She screamed, "Hey, stop talking.".

She threw the chalk piece at Hruday. Hruday felt something weird as he looked at the teacher He felt something snap in his brain and, for the first time,

he cached the chalk involuntarily, snapped it, and threw it back at her in that split second It all had happened so fast that his brains control board couldn't cool the anger and stop it He had dug his own grave without realizing it.

A second later, he realizes he fu*ked up, and the teacher, fuming in anger, yells at him, "Hruday, you." 

Hruday defended himself: "Why am I the only one to get scolded? everybody is talking; he shouts loudly

Roy was pulling hruday down to save him from the trouble that he was getting himself into by challenging her 

teacher's anger reaching the top of her head, said, "Wait, I will call H.M. You seem to have grown tails, huh? 

Roy asked worriedly, "Bro, why did you do that?"

hruday said, "Ahh, they won't beat me on the first day, right?"

Michael replied, "No, they will call your parents and make sure you get beaten by your parents. Are you dumb, bro?"

hruday said haha I am fuc*ked, Isn't this my first day of school? hruday continued man she always targets me man Roy: Bro, did you get puberty now you are 17?

Michal: ya your voice changed when we were 17 last time Seriously, you are a late bloomer, man Are you watching anime too much? 

Hruday: No, I got pubs when I was 15; ok, also, I am a year later than you guys; I was born on December 21, 2005 

also, it's like when you are walking and you feel something fall on you, and before you realize it, you act like a deadly insect biting embracing yourself

Michael oh speaking of insects, when I was sleeping, a real cockroach came near my mouth. I woke up startled this made the cockroach crawl all over me 

John, are you sure it was only one cockroach and you woke up after its husband entered your drooling mouth? 

Roy, that's why your throat is sore 

hruday guys I am tensed up thinking how screwed I am and you guys are chilling and having fun 

John, why should we be worried? Did we screw up? Will this affect us? No, so have a good day. 

 Roy, also, did we exclude you from the conversation? so enjoy while you can. You have already screwed up, so stop ruining our fun shu shu he gestured, waving his hands 

Tory was about to give condolence to hruday but hearing his friends say all this, we went back feeling awkward 

"as hruday and his friends were talking," there was an approach of a mysterious 6-foot-tall man garbage picker, directly heading towards them with his skinny friend
