I'm back again with a new Halloween piece. This one is going to have a lot of firsts for me. This is the first time I've written a story based solely on a video game, the first multi-chapter Halloween piece, and also the first "self-insert" piece. I've been meaning to do something a bit different from what I've been doing. For those of you who have been keeping track of my updates and other stories, nothing has been abandoned, it has just been put on hold. I know some of you love the Dragon Trainer, Dragon Speaker series - that's on hold for the time being. And those who have stayed with Special Talents, thank you, and I'm working on finishing out that story. I do not own Until Dawn and some of the jokes you may see here are not mine, as are the "Let's Plays" they come from. Special shout outs to youtubers Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. If you're reading this, you guys are wonderful and this story wouldn't exist without you. Thank you for all that you do. It may not seem like much, but you do have much of an impact with your viewers.
Lucid dream: Noun. A dream state in which one is conscious enough to recognize that one is in the dream state and which stays in one's memory.
Lucid dreaming is something I've been able to do for a long time. I can go to sleep and live out my dreams in books, movies, and games. I can become anyone when I dream, do anything, even the impossible. But I can do it too well. If I get hurt, I wake up injured. I think if I died in a lucid dream, I could die for real. I'm not going to test that theory.
Another thing; I'm not always in complete control of everything. Think of it as the butterfly effect. One change could affect the outcome of the story, for good or for bad. And since I'm not in control, I have to be prepared for anything. It's constant research on my part because when I dream, I'm given a goal. I don't always decide the goal, but in order for me to get out of that world I have to complete the goal. If I don't complete the goal by the time I wake up, I come back the next night and the night after until the job is done. I don't know why, but that's how it is. And I kind of like it. It gives me a challenge.
Welcome to my dreaming.
Just a little set up. Figured I'd give you some idea of what's going on before I jump completely into the story.
