Chapter 9 – Trap in a dream … “We have cast the stone.” A man stood on a balcony. “Indeed. They have chosen the ‘one’.” A much smaller guy said. He sat in a chair while sipping a tantalizing red wine. He wore a mask and only his mouth was visible. “The only thing we need to do is wait.” It is hard to see his face. Even though he was looking outside, his thoughts were somewhere. “Nah, I’m going there. I wanted to watch.” The other guy stood up, patted his colorful clothes and swayed as he exited, leaving the man as the darkness engulfed him. … A new fresh day started as the horse’s shoes thundered on the road.

Jed only ate one while scribbling on his notebook. On the other hand, the chubby kids kept on eating. There was a dozen of wrapper on the trashcan beside them.

It was the same as the other houses surrounding it. The only thing, these houses were pretty empty aside from important and necessities. A man wearing a cool white shirt and black pants arrived in front of them. He had a log book pinned on his armpit. “Hello, I am the agent here.
