The man could feel the presence of tall, shadowy

How has it only been 20 minutes? That lethal smell hasn’t gone away, in fact it’s gotten worse. On top of that, I keep hearing these loud voices. “It's only a dream,” I mumble.  4:30 am .

Part 1 Tick-tock. “Oliver!” My mom’s voice echoes up the stairs. “Your alarms have been ringing for five times already!” I groan, burying my face into the pillow. “I’m up!” I lied. The truth is that I barely slept last night. I said  I went to bed at eight, but really it was at ten, maybe even later. My stomach twisted all night, thinking about the first day of eighth grade.
