His headache was partially subsided and he could think clearly again. As you continue walking, you realize something had changed... Everything was quiet. And everything, aside from you and the area around any other reflective surfaces, was grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could no longer hear the sound of cars honking outside. The silence was... odd... Almost gave you another headache purely thanks to how unusual it was. You could hear your breath, your heartbeat, every part about you that previously you didn't notice. There were no people, either. Usually you could hear talking around you. The neighbors arguing, kids stomping around their apartments. But now it was just... nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could hear his heartbeat speeding up as he tugged on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't hear them very well though, and they seemed to only exist in the color of reflections. As they walked, they faded in and out of existence. But they still seemed... normal. They were talking and interacting as they would actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This day was too weird and he couldn't take it. You felt as if you weren't supposed to be here.. But this was your apartment building, wasn't it? As you looked around, you found the same things you've seen. Grey, colorful reflective surfaces, and these phantom people. You recognized many of the people you came across as people from the apartment building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars zoomed towards you, seeming to completely ignore your existence. As you stand frozen in the street, a car rushes into you and... nothing happens It seemed to phase through you. Although you still got knocked to the ground, you didn't feel very much pain from it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jumped to his feet, patting all over himself. There was nothing broken! He wondered how he was still alive. Am I dead? Did I die last night?!?!?! There's no way any of this is possible. He ran into the middle of the street to see f it would happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's just what happened... It hurt a bit more this time, though. Maybe you should stop before the pain keeps increasing Any people that phased into existence seemed to not notice what was going on. Were you dead?... But everything was normal until you walked into the hallway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed to see if his siblings were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were half there and half not, their forms fizzling out where the color left. Looking around the room and back in the mirror, you see yourself. Well you couldn't be dead then, right? The reflection stared at you instead of mimicking you as it normal, standing in place as you moved around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though yourself and the space closest to you was still colored. They glanced back at the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if they felt weird, too. 2 minutes ago, Pancake said: They just hummed a continuous note to keep the silence at bay.
