Plot | Matthew Clegg

A young man about eighteen years old has a dream one night that he wakes from with a cold sweat. He can't remember the dream so he starts the day like any other regular day.

He soon realizes that something is not right, however. The roomates in his apartment are not anywhere to be seen, but he figures that they are all somewhere and that there is a perfectly logical explination for it. He continues thinking that nothing is wrong until he steps outside and sees absolutely no traffic, or pedestrians anywhere. All the buildings look the same, but no one is anywhere to be seen.

The young man wanders about until he finally sees a building that looks like it has activity in it. He goes inside and is greeted by a receptionist who calls some guards to accost him. He is taken to the top floor of the building and into a large office. The important looking man there tells the guards to put him back to sleep in room 305 so that they can moniter him more carefully. As the young man is being taken he hears the important looking man mutter that no ones ever woken up before.

The young man then wakes up again, but this time he remembers his dream about the important looking man, and he realizes that he wasn't dreaming. He was back in the world he knew and he could hear his roomates talking in the background, but he knew that this world that he considered normal was actually a dream...
