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.

He could no longer hear the sound of cars honking outside.

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...

He could hear his heartbeat speeding up as he tugged on the door.

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.

This day was too weird and he couldn't take it.

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.

He started to panic, he reached the ground floor and sprinted out into the street, panting, his hands on his knees.

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...

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.

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...

He needed to see if his siblings were okay.

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.

He looked at his siblings through the mirror and saw that they were still sleeping. He sat down in a chair trying to calm himself down.

Pancake Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 2 hours ago, GreenTheGreat said: The spaces of your room farther away from you were monochrome. It was all black, white, and mainly grey. Even though yourself and the space closest to you was still colored. They glanced back at the mirror.

Nope. Instead of mimicking you, the reflection took their hand off the mirror and just.... looked at it. Almost as if they felt weird, too. 2 minutes ago, Pancake said: They just hummed a continuous note to keep the silence at bay. After a while of wandering, you hear something... moving
