“Hey, wake up! Wake up!”
There was a sharp call in his ears as the dizziness ringed around Dawn’s head like a rollercoaster ride. When the guy finally opened his eyes, it was a familiar ceiling instead of the starry night sky along with…. Boink’s furry ass?
The hamsterling had gotten the idea of using his tail to whiplash Dawn’s cheek until it’s swollen, and that hurts!
But that’s not important. Dawn was stunned for a moment, and then he realized he was back?
Lying on the bed, the confused guy remains uncertain as he takes a second to collect himself from the life and death moment. Then touching his swollen cheek to make sure he’s not dreaming, a surge of happiness filled himself at the good fortune.
I thought I was going to die…. Turns out it’s a dream?
It’s so real though.
“What’s wrong with you Landlord? You suddenly fell unconscious behind the door. If I hadn’t heard the thud, you would’ve spent the night on the floorboard.” Shadow stood over Dawn’s bed and explained with a doubtful face.
“Yeah, you wouldn’t respond to us no matter how we called you. I had no choice but to resort to physical means.” Boink was standing atop of the guy’s chest and waving his hamster tail around to showcase his weapon of choice triumphantly. He believes the reason the guy woke up was because of his whipping.
“Uhhh… Landlord, I tried stopping him, but Boink won’t listen.” Seeing the reddish color on Dawn’s cheek, Shadow felt embarrassed and guilty for not doing more.
“Whew…. It’s fine, don’t worry about it. I’ll be fine after a night’s rest.” Then rubbing his stinging cheek, Dawn sat up to breathe, “Perhaps it’s because of everything in the last two days, but I just had a nightmare.”
“Hmmm… There is the smell of blood on you Landlord. You’re bleeding eh!” Shadow suddenly sniffed her nose and pointed to Dawn’s calf area where the pajamas were soaked in blood, “Where did you get hurt from? Do you need me to bandage it? I’ll get the medkit.”
After Shadow’s reminder, Dawn’s senses fully returned along with the stinging pain in his leg. Immediately, a shudder ran down his back from head to bottom. It’s evident to him that nightmare was no nightmare at all!
“Hello? Why are you not talking?” Shadow saw the guy’s expression and grew worried.
“I have a question for you, is there any dream in this world that can hurt the person…. or a monster that can do it through a dream?” Dawn could see the scratch mark running through his calf area as he remembered.
Boink and Shadow exchanged a look between themselves before the hamster spoke up. “No, not according to my memories. There isn’t such a monster.”
“I do know a monster called Nightmares, but they can only guide other living creatures in their dreams to have a bad time. Their race has no means to kill someone….”
Shadow also affirmed Boink’s answer as she followed up with a wary question: “Why do you ask such a question?”
Dawn wiped the blood from the wound. Although he did not bandage it, the bleeding had stopped on its own with some stinging left so he should be fine to walk and run tomorrow.
Tossing the blood-stained tissue paper into the garbage bin, the guy went through the absurd and bizarre story of him getting transported to another world.
Sure enough, both tenants fell into silence for a good while.
“I know it’s stressful for an ordinary person to be exposed to supernatural events, but you can’t escape from reality,” Shadow said in a serious tone. “I know a prescription that can calm the mind. It might help with your condition.”
