Everything's dark again.

Another of those dreams…

I groan.

I'm starting to get sick of this.

I see my parents, dead on the floor.

I wake up.

I sigh.

"Groan…" I've had this same bad dream for what feels like forever. It's driving me crazy.

I call my friend, Tyler. He picks up after a few rings.

"Hey, Xavier, what's up?"

"Not much, same old, same old, I guess."

"You have that dream again?"

"Yup. I don't know what the fuck's up with it. Wanna play some PubG or something? I gotta take my mind off this somehow."

"Can't. I'm playing this other game right now. Maybe in an hour?"

"Sure thing. What game?"

"Doki Doki Literature Club"

"Weeb."

"No, no, it's not what you think it is."

"I think I heard of it. It's from the guy who worked on Project M, right?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"I didn't know you were into dating sims."

"It's not actually a dating sim. It's really a-"

"Don't deny it."

"Whatever."

"See you in an hour then."

"Shit!"

"What?"

"Game just jumpscared me, is all"

"Oh, huh."

"GAH"

"Anyways, see ya."

"You should play this shit sometime."

"Nah, I think I'm good…"

"Please? Seems like something you'd enjoy."

"I'll check it out."

"Coolio."

I press the end call button on my phone screen. Doki Doki Literature Club… I punch it into Google and push Enter.
