Welcome to your subconscious

Night of the Full moon

Huh?

Where am I?

Confused, ___ wiped the drool from her face.

How long have I been asleep?

Wh- What is this?

____ found herself cold and alone on an empty moving shuttle.

She scanned the empty train car, surrounded by

What the-

Hello? Is anyone here?

I have no idea what's going on here. But I'm pretty sure I've been kidnapped and whoever did this be very afraid because my dad's a cop.

She lied. Her dad abandoned her when she was 2 years old. And he definitely wasn't a cop.

___ Got up from the plush leather (Tweak)

Okay, nice seats, but wtf is going on??

___ Got up to see her reflection staring back at her in a huge mirror. She felt over the lines on her face from the imprint of her chair.

Had a nice nap? She heard aloud?

What the-

Hello??

Who was that?

Good morning, sunshine

The voices were echoing loudly throughout the moving train automobile.

Okay... I'm getting out of here.

____ found herself in a dimly lit train car with dining tables and plush seats.

Hesitant, she glanced around and proceeded to head for the train car door connecting to the next car.

Hello? Kidnappers?

I'm ready for an explanation, she said frustratedly.

I'm tired and cranky and I just want to go home so let's get this over with.

She kept peering through different parts of the cars to see if she'd see anyone, but to no avail.

As she entered another connecting car door, she saw that the following car was drowned out by complete darkness.

Squinting her eyes, "What is - Whoaa"

___ caught herself on a metal bar of the connecting train car door right when she was about to fall.

She saw her life flash before her eyes as Her feet grazed the bottom of the train tracks.

She looked down to see the sparks from the friction of the wheels against the tracks.

She tried to get a closer look at what was below the tracks but all she could see from outside the train was a black void.

Okay... This just got weird

Why does it look like I'm in the middle of nowhere.

She hoisted herself up and grabbed onto the connected car door hinge

Whew. She let out a huge sigh as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Guess I can cross almost dying hanging off a moving train car in the middle of space off my bucket list.

Tired, she pulled the adjacent train car door apart and entered the empty black void to the other side.

Her heart felt like an exotic drum beating out of her chest.

And her palms were a waterfall at this point.

She grabbed onto a metal bar as the train jolted and came to a halt.

Whoa, she exclaimed falling backwards.

She'd taken a hard hit to the ground.

"Careful. You might not make it out in one piece" She'd heard from the loudspeaker.

Is this some sort of sick joke?? Whatever game you are playing, I want out.

Hello?? Seriously, I want answers.

Answers? Above, she heard laughter echo throughout the moving train.

My head is pounding. I can't see anything. This is twisted.

Suddenly, she heard eerie carnival music playing throughout the train.

Oh, great. Don't tell me I'm in a freaking horror movie.

Oh, ___. Don't you understand? You are the horror movie.

Excuse me.

Yes, welcome. You are now on a trip inside your own mind. Destination: Your fate.

She arched an eyebrow. "Say what now"

A flashing sign appeared before her, surrounded by luminsecent bulbs:

WELCOME TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

You are in a simulation. Tonight before you drifted off to sleep you said three words that you put you in a simulation inside your own mind.

____, welcome to your subconscious.

Here you can find all of your deepest thoughts, fears, and beliefs.

You have taken a trip inside your mind. The destination is whatever you want it to be. So, what will it be?

WHAT DOES ANY OF THAT EVEN MEAN?

At this point, ___ was becoming livid.

Let the Mindgames begin.

Before ___ knew it, the sign, the voice and the music had all disappeared and it was just her in an empty train car. She sat in darkness.

In an attempt to get centered, ___ sat on the cold ground and closed her eyes. She let in a deep inhale followed by a sharp exhale.

With shut eyelids, she found that nothing would soothe her. Every time she closed her eyes she saw bright bulbs of electricity flicker almost as if the train was falling apart every time she closed her eyes.

That's it. I have to get out of here.

Hurriedly, ____ got up from the ground and ran through the dark and empty train car to the other side.

____, wake up!

Don't you get it.

This train is your subconscious.

You decide where it goes. You decide where you go.

The train is an illusion. This is all an illusion.

Your fears are all illusions.

This is all an illusion

Life is all a mind game
