Despite not being high i felt kind of funny. My head seemed to be swimming as soon as I exited the appartment. The sun has a real good way of blinding you at 4:00 in the afternoon when you have been inside all day.

With a cupped hand over my brow shielding out the light from my eyes I put my feet into gear. There has to be someone around here who wants to do something fun. Ohh wait im in Glengrove. This place is like the deadzone of the universe, it just sucks the life out of everything around it. I realise the same can be said about most towns but still Glengrove takes a pretty high spot on the boredom meter.

"Totally different from the dream world" I said with a snort. I guess after you have floated over the water at high speeds on futuristic shoes not much thrills you in the normal world haha. It didnt matter I was still happy over my new found discovery.

I walked to some various locals houses and, found some people to go skating with around town. We had a blast just throwing down tricks and pushing ourselves. I think using the hovershoes in the dream gave me a boost with skating cause I had exceptional control of it which happens very rarely.

It wasnt too smart of me to go skating with my head feeling the way it was but I did it anyway. I kept remembering how it felt to just be propelled by the magnetic waves of the earth. The skateboard made me feel like I was floating anyways, especially when I went fast. Skating killed time until 7:30 when i decided to bid them all farewell and get some food.

I skated off to the pizza shop on main street about 15 minutes from my house walking time. All this skating makes a boy tired! I think its just my inner stoner but, I love food! So how can I pass up a chance to go get dough with pasta sauce, cheese, pepperonis and mushrooms on it? Besides where else in the world still has a decently working original Rampage arcade game?

Hanging out at the pizza shop was always a fun time, especially because almost everyone goes in there to do the same thing. At 9:00 they close though which is actually a good thing, I was up to almost $5.00 in quarters on that game.

The skate back home was as uneventfull as the whole day. It kind of bummed me out, everything was back to normal. How depressing I thought as I reached my appartment door and went inside. Alex should be here soon and then I can go back to the dream world! I was extremly happy at that thought. If what Alex said is true this time I will have even more fun than last time, which is barely comprehensible considering last time.

I yawned and checked my watch, 9:21pm. Alex better get here soon or I might start without him I thought. Just then I heard a pounding on my door. Alex must have gotten out of work early, good Im tired as hell.

I started to walk to the door when again someone pounded on it this time slightly louder then before. Thats strange I thought, Alex doesnt knock like that and if he got no response he would just walk in. I looked out the peephole on my door and almost pissed myself with fright. Right outside my door was the Silver Surfer cop in all his comic book glory pounding on my door, in real life outside of the dream from whence he came.

Of course like anyone else would have I panicked a great deal. "No way, this isnt happening this is the real world not some dream" I said to myself as I hastily locked the door and jumped on the couch.

"Open the door Mr. Jacobson I know you are in there!" his voice boomed from the other side of the door.

I started to sweat, my heart was beating to the pattern of an overworked marathon runner. My stomach seemed to tighten and I could tell I was hot and pale like I always get when im afraid. My mind was racing no way in hell is this real! I am in the real world not some damned dream. Sure enough though the cop was there pounding away.

Crazy thoughts found their way in and I started getting hysterical. What if I am dreaming that im in the real world, how can I tell if I am in one or the other, I thought I was sure but how do I know. I could simply have dreamt about waking up here and everything and ....ohh god what do i do now?

The pounding got louder and the same voice yelled again this time at full volume. "You open this god damned door or I am going to kick..it..in" he used his fist to accent the last three words.

Just then I heard the upstairs neighbors terrier start barking. Thats when I broke down, I knew this was all real and I was in some deep trouble. Tears flooded my eyes blurring my vision. Never before was I so afraid not even on that canoe trip when I was younger.

I curled up with my knees tucked to my chest and sat on the couch sobbing the words "Its not real...its not real" over and over again as if it would make things better.

The pounding stopped and I looked up to see the doorknob start to move. The door opened a crack and the hallway light crept across my floor.

"Oh god no..no..no..no" I exclaimed sobbing as the door slowly opened.

A wave of light crashed over the living room floor like a tide coming in covering everything in its path. The bright yellow light from the outside hallway fought through my teary eyes blinding them and making me cup my hand over my forehead like a golfer watching his shot to the fairway.

What I saw when I did that was the man himself standing there arms folded at my doorway with a big smirk on his face. His chest was inflated much like a rooster does when they want to look menacing to the others around them.

When he spoke his voice boomed and it frightened me up off the couch and back against the living room wall. I almost cried out like a scared animal and, would have if not for the intense fear I was facing.

"Now now Mr. Jacobson is that anyway to treat a guest, by not answering the door when they knock?" he had that ever so sarcastic tone.

I wanted to do one of two things. Either run for my life out of the building or just punch this guy in the face. Fear prevented me from doing either, that and his standing in my path to the doorway. With no other options I was stuck.

He started to advance towards me, put his hands on the sides of his belt and spoke again.

"I gave you an oppurtunity to get let off easy, just a minor tobacco chrage but, you ruined it and ran." "Now I am forced to take you in and lay down the law." he appeared to be reaching for something on his belt, probably handcuffs I assumed.

I decided this was going to be my only chance to escape. As soon as he focused on his belt I took the first few steps towards the kitchen, where the was a window that I could have jumped out of. That is if this guy was an idiot, which much to my chagrin he wasnt.

It seemed as if when my feet hit the floor on the second step that they gained this immense weight and just didnt want to move anymore. This feeling crept up my spine and through my whole body making it stiff and rigid. I turned my head slowly with much resistance, just before my whole body went dead i noticed what the cop was reaching for. He had what I saw as a laser light pen that shined on me and was making me feel like I couldnt move a muscle.

"Did you honestly think you can run from me again? The only reason why I let you go before is because I wanted to find out what you were about but, now you cant move, in fact you cant even speak so you are coming with me now, understand?" he voiced it as more of a command then a question, this guy was tough and capable.

He was right though, within moments of my feet feeling heavy the rest of my body became immobile. The unusual thing was it wasnt like I was incapable of moving my limbs, not in the sense of paralysis. It was more like when I told my body to move it just ignored me like an apathetic couch locked stoner, a weird sensation indeed.

The only think I could do was cry as he came forward to remove me from my "real" home. As the tears ran down my cheeks I moved my eyes, the only part of me that could move, around the living room looking at the cop with his giant grin and condemning eyes.

From the light in the hallway I saw another figure walking in on the scene. It wasnt back up like I had originally thought. Coming into my home now was Alex. Now a new dillema. How am I supposed to save him as well as myself? Life just isnt fair sometimes.

He came up to the open door and stopped, staring into the scene goign on in my appartment.

I tried to yell but, I still had no control over my body except for my eyes. I tried frantically to alert Alex and get him not to come in. I enlarged my eyes which, still had a steady flow of tears coming from them, and as you can imagine he didnt understand. Alls he saw was his friend standing there crying and moving his eyes around like a psycho.

"Guy are you alright ?" he asked me.

I repleied by sobbing more, strangely I mustered the energy to whimper like a scolded puppy.

He advanced further into the room. I shifted my eyes back to the cop who still wore his evil smirk of justice, uncaring of my friend who had arrived and was watching the fiasco.

I heard a familiar voice mumble "noooo" in a brely audible tone. Just then Alex came forward fast with his amrs in front of him. It looked like he was going to shove the cop to get him away from me. I was bittersweet at the thought of him doing that for me.

On one hand it was the ultimate sacrafice between two friends, a true show of respect. On another he was follishly messing with an enemy that had the power to destroy him. how good is a push if a second later you cant even move?

As he was one step away from me I thought to myself that the next moment would seal both of our fates. Alex and I were going to jail if he shoved this cop, that much is certain.

He ran up and just as he was about to make contact I heard the same voice from before say "look out." He came forward and grabbed me by the shoulders. He passed right through the cop!

For a moment the two scenes merged and I thought that Alexs arms were the cops, or they were merging into the same person.

"Guy whats wrong with you are you ok?" he said frantically as he started to shake me gently.

The effect of the shaking was that the already dizzying scene in front of my eyes was now bouncing all over the place. Alls I could do was stare in utter disbelief of what I was seeing. What the hell was going on?

"Guy comeon answer me whats wrong your scaring me, why arent you responding?" he sounded almost as scared as I was and, I wanted to explain to him that I couldnt respond but, if I could explain the situation I wouldnt need to.

He started to shake me harder while shouting my name at full volume as if I didnt hear him or something. The cops image started to break up when he shook me harder, kind of like a hologram that was losing its power and flickering off like a t.v. It faded until just Alex was in front of me, like the cop never was there. I then realised that the voice I heard earlier was actually my own.

Its hard to explain what happened nect. I heard a popping noise much like bubble wrap behind both of my ears, a sort of crackle one would expect from a fire with pine cones in it. its effect was like someone cutting a big string that was holding me in my spot, my body was free to move now.

Its other effect was on my senses, my vision was out of control. It could have been ALexs shaking of me, or what I had just saw but I felt like I was perpetually falling into some dark hole. I literally saw myself from outside my body tumbling down a big black void in time and space, one made just for me.

I could have put my arms out to stop myself from falling, but I didnt care anymore. The only thing I wanted to touch was reality and, you cant grab ahold of that while falling down a black hole.

I gave in and fell until I saw light, I thought I had died. But the light just woke me up slowly, and I had again the world around me, whatever one this was.
