"The next day"

Grabbing some snacks you watched TV in silence. Focusing your attention on moving characters of a show, which you just recently found. You were in your parents bedroom on their huge bed just passing time until it was time to make dinner. 

- This show is good. " biting a piece of a dorito you murmur and look at the clock.

- Damn it's already 12 pm and I haven't done anything." you get up turning the TV off and stretch a bit. Your parents were in work and since it was summer and you just finished high school you didn't really have anything to do. Getting a job would be good because of the money going to textbooks and university work but it was the beginning of summer so you wanted to take it easy for a bit.

Also the key that sat on your drawer near the fish tank still clouded your mind. How the hell does a key materialise from a dream in the real world? It was very strange and you wanted to keep away from it for a while. Putting on some jeans and a simple t-shirt you left your house to do a bit of grocery shopping because your mother forgot to buy some mushrooms for the dish. The store was not too far, just a couple of blocks away so you strode calmly while listening to music on your phone. Some kids occasionally passed by you, the kindergarten was close to the store and a playground was also the main attraction to the kids with its swings, spinning wheels and sand boxes. Turning a left while looking at your phone you suddenly trip over a rock and fall over, your phone falling as well. 

-Ouch....." lifting yourself up you dust your pants and look for your phone.

- Miss I think you dropped this." Looking towards the voice you see a small child holding your phone. He wore a stripped red and blue t-shirt with blue shorts, messy dark brown hair looked at every direction and soft amethyst eyes stared at you. You smiled a bit and reached out a hand towards your phone.

- Thanks kid." taking your phone you look at it if it's damaged and find nothing to be broken. Looking again at the boy you see him running away from you waving goodbye. Chuckling you wave back and enter the store.

Grabbing a shopping basket you look for the mushrooms, taking some cheese, pasta and other things along the way. Nearing the vegetable and fruit section you only now noticed that there were not that many people in the store. "It's not that strange seeing that it is work day and all" you thought as you picked up a bag of mushrooms.

- Excuse me deary, could you tell me what time it is?" you jump a bit at the voice and see on your right an old lady with small circular glasses. She wore a long black skirt and a brown sweater, her hair in a bun. Coming to your senses that you were asked a question you smile like an idiot.

- Ah sorry I got a bit startled. Let me check my phone.

- No worries deary." the old lady smiled showing a set of white teeth. " Man, she takes good care of her teeth" you thought as you pressed the side button of your phone to access it only to pale at the sight before you....

Like a distant voice you hear the granny say: 

-Is something wrong-

*CRASH*

- SOMEONE!  HELP ! A PERSON COLLAPSED HERE !

Lying on the ground your vision blurs a bit until it completely turns to darkness. A soft voice could be heard as your mind fades away:

- Come in~ Come in~

................................

Groaning you clutch your head in your arms as you get up, the ground was hard and very uncomfortable and very cold. Opening your eyes you see that you were in the same place as before, the forest clearing. The same scenario, moonlight, trees surrounding you and sounds of night creatures echoing in the air.
