Chapter 9 - He thought

Souzou ran tiredly, breathing heavily, almost falling from time to time, as he did so, he thought about earlier "what was that???, am i gonna wake up or what!??!", though it ended pretty quickly, he stopped running, his heart bumping like crazy, his body got chills, trying to breath calmly.

He was resting his hands on his knees, he was panicking and scared.

After a while, he sat down, he did not care about sitting on the soil anymore, starting to calm down, Souzou immediately thought about something, "what is this dream??, why am i still here?, how long will this last???, is this even a dream?".

Souzou retorted himself, he did not think it was something other then a dream, it was not at all, mainly because in real life he would not feel so weird from the chest pain.

Souzou sighed, still breathing heavily, he lied down on the ground soil, trying to rest, but suddenly he felt the rough ground soil, it was uncomfortable, Souzou turned to sitting instead, he thought about what to do now, nothing came to his mind at all but that figure earlier.

Souzou forced himself to think about other things, like going for fruits, that was his original plan after all, he thought.

Souzou stomach was gurgling, he almost vomited, he held himself from it, he then thought to himself "what kinda shitty dream is this??!!?, why??, my legs are so tired from running, in a dream??", he felt annoyed, and anger at this point.

Souzou tried to calm himself down by breathing.

after a while, he calmed and breathed a slow breath of relief.

Souzou looked back, nothing was there but roots protruding from the ground, he lost the figure, Souzou sighed, and thought to himself "so it was a nightmare, or a weird dream, what was that sound??, how did my brain do all of this, this sucks".

As he was thinking, he was feeling thirsty, he ignored it, and decided to go get the fruits instead.

Souzou stood up, wiping off sweats from his head, he walked opposing to the sun, "what?", Souzou noticed something, the sun was not on front or back, but rather upwards, the sun moved, Souzou ignored it, it was normal for dreams to be like this, he thought.

Souzou as always, walked, he still has some memory of where to go, he groaned, all of that walking was going to make him die, he is still going to go the fruits.

After a while, he finally saw the blue trees again, Souzou was excited, he walked to a blue tree, and searched for fruits.

He searched, he found one already, he plucked one off, and ate it, Souzou then plucked more and ate more.

Enjoying the fruits, Souzou was spent and tired, he stopped and just stared at the trees, nothing was on his mind, he was completely absentminded, he stopped himself, refocusing once again.

He thought to himself "what the heck am i doing anymore?, when am i going to wake up??, should i just sleep?, is that going to even work??".

Souzou though, was not sleeping on the rough ground soil, he was going to wake up anytime soon, he thought.

Souzou thought to himself "what should i do now, man i hate long dreams like this".

Souzou tried to think of something, but no, nothing came, he already explored, and he could not walk to any place now even if he wanted to, he then thought to himself "well, i could eat more fruits and look at the trees, uhh, sure why not, am going to do just that".

He walked to a tree, he plucked a fruit, and then tried to pluck off a large leaf, it did not work, then he tried to take a bite out of it, all it did was make Souzou more tired. 

Souzou thought for a second, then inspected the bark of the trees, nothing was living in them, but he did not know, if there were living inside of them instead, he knocked on the bark.

Souzou felt the rough bark on his hands, it did not hurt that much, he smelled the bark, it had a weird sweet smell, Souzou tried to look for tree roots, but none was on the ground, surprisingly he noticed that no fruits were on the ground to.

He sighed, and sat down, while eating fruits, he looked at the sun, he thought to himself "oh well, this works to, i can just wait it out".

Souzou from time to time, thought about going back to the river for a drink, stopping himself from overthinking, and thinking about his weird dream, he thought "how did i imagine a whole history lecture??, where and when did i even sleep???", Souzou sea of questions grew, he started even thinking about his car washing job.

He stopped himself and focused on the sky, any time he felt thirsty, he ate a fruit, any time he felt hungry, he ate a fruit, Souzou was full by now.

But he was content, the fruits he ate, erased his hunger, and somewhat deal with his thirst.

After a while.

Souzou frowned, the sun moved again, Souzou stared, he wondered, the dream was going for way longer then he thought.

The sun was going to set, a distressed expression appeared on his face, Souzou tried to ignore it, but he couldn't, it was right in front of him, what if it was real, he thought.

Souzou stopped and said in anger "This dream is so annoying, i hate it, why am i even dreaming about this?, seriously, how much time is needed for this dream, congrats, the best dream ever, could you wake me up already, please?".

As time passed, the sun confirmed Souzou guess, ignoring it, Souzou just decided to lay under the tree, not even looking at the sun anymore, he looked at the tree, studying it, thinking about things, he still thought about the dream, his doubts were growing.

The dream was going to end soon, why should he be worried, he thought.

After some time, calming down, Souzou was growing tired, he felt sleepy, though he still noticed something new happening, he turned back and looked, the sun was already setting.

Souzou stared in distress, asking himself, what should he do now, should i try to sleep, it might work, he thought.

He looked for a spot to sleep, and saw multiple trees next to each other.

Souzou walked under the trees and lied down on his back, the weird smell attacked his nose, but he ignored it, it was very uncomfortable, he tried to sleep, but it was not working at all, Souzou said "at least let me sleep, why am i still dreaming?, why is this even happening?, what kind of dream is this?!?!".

Souzou then thought "is this even a dream?, a coma?, but i never had dreams like this, i never had a coma even, what is this even?", he stopped himself and forced himself to think about his games and other things instead.

Trying to sleep, and failing, Souzou stood up, scary thoughts crept up on him constantly.

Souzou was worried about it, he was thinking, when it gonna end.

He forced himself to turn around and look at the sun, it was already turning dusk, Souzou immediately turned around and tried to ignore it.

Though, Souzou never could ignore it, it was always on his mind, he could not just ignore it.

Souzou was confused, he thought about his whole situation, was it just a dream?, he thought.

He thought to himself "am i waking up soon?", he was hoped to wake up, but for some reason, he doubted that he would in the back of his mind.

After some time, the sun rays started fleeting away, the final moments of a sunset, he stared, shocked, he almost could not see anything, he could only discern the trees he was next to.

Souzou was not happy about it.

He got restless, seeds of frustration grew, doubts filled his mind, after a bit, the sun set had ended.

Souzou frustrated, yelled, as if trying to command his dream "HEY, LET ME SEE!".

No response.

Darkness, it was just all dark for Souzou, the dream was going to end soon, he thought.

Souzou calmed down and thought to himself "this is to much for me, why is this even a lucid dream, did i actually sniff medications???, did i hit my head??, wait, no maybe not", Souzou tried to think of something, but there was not much to begin with, when he did not know, when the dream even started.

Souzou decided to wait it out.

Waiting, for while, nothing, no sounds except the winds whistles.

He waited in distress, every moment passing was eluding his hope.

What was it, was he waiting for, he thought. 

He lied down again, hoping that sleeping will wake him up.

Time passed, as Souzou tried to sleep, something appeared, a bright light reflected on his eyes, he focused on that light, as more of it appeared, the place was suddenly lit with silver light, encompassing all of the area, this was not normal, he thought.

Souzou thought he was finally going to wake up and stood up in excitement.

He looked at his surroundings, it was not his home, the hospital or even college, the place he was at, was the same, he was disappointed, but he waited, still clinging to hope, thinking that if he wait it out, he would just wake up, as time passed by, Souzou distress showed in his body.

Souzou started to rumble, his heart thumped so fast, that it started to hurt him, his hope starting to shatter, he was panicking.

Souzou thought to himself "is this real", doubtful, he still wanted to think that it was a dream, but how could he lie to himself like this, he thought to himself "is this not a dream???", suddenly, cold wind hit him, he shivered.

As he looked and traced the light back to it source, Souzou saw it, the moon, the beautiful moon light shone like the brightest of lamps, on Souzou eyes.

Souzou was stuck on place, his whole body trembled, words got stuck on his mouth, he thought to himself, then he stopped himself.

Souzou looked at his hands in confusion, how did he not notice it from the start, Souzou pinched himself, he felt it, he pinched it again, this time much stronger, he felt pain, he then tried to scratch himself, Souzou scratched his face, then recoiled in pain and grimaced, "SHIT", Souzou thought, he touched his hair, and fell down to his knees.

He tried to pull, but feeling immense pain, he stopped and grimaced, "HOW?, HOW AM I HERE?, WHY!?", he yelled in frustration, his voice sounded, but nothing responded, Souzou face darkened, he was in doubt, still trying to seek hope.

He waited for something. Nothing, he bit his lips, his hands placed on his head, he could not think anymore, Souzou tried to look for anything of help, he turned his head around quickly, and he found nothing, Souzou eyes trailed off to the moon once again.

Souzou was starting to hurt himself, more and more, pulling his hair, hitting the ground, he recoiled in pain, flinched, still he continued.

Tears were forming on his eyes as he wailed, he thought about his house, his mother, his dad, his brothers, his sisters, his friends.

Souzou yelled "what the heck is this, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS???, WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING??!?".

As the brightness of the moon was blinding him, his hands fell off his head, what can he do, he thought.

What should he do, he thought.

Where am i, he thought.

Souzou was punching the ground, then he pushed his head into the ground.

Bleeding from his hands, Souzou was raising questions, but he was clueless.

Souzou cried, feeling hopeless.

"What is this", Souzou thought in confusion.
