Scientists have achieved new milestone in dream worlds research. Any trained and certified individual can buy the wireless head band which communicates to your brain nerves. The common server hosted by many individuals will share a dream space where an individual can connect using the head bands and enjoy the dream in the shared space they can choose. The over night dream time in real world spans around 1 year in the dream world thus giving extended life feeling to any one possess this invaluable piece of gadget.
I can’t get it wrong this time. The cold weather of Winchester makes me more nervous. Been 7 Months already and I know I am in this dream world but as perfect as real world. The ASDA, the Marks and Spencer, High streets, every corner streets all looks so real. The biggest problem here is, classifying the projections (the imaginary humans) and the people who are actually in using the dream room. Few rules are in this dream world and one of them is no killing others else your dream world access will be banned for ever by the central server. I got to break it, I sure should do, I got to kill Steve. My best mate, my colleague in the research lab got stuck in here due to some technical glitch. I need to kill him to get him back otherwise he is stuck here for ever.
The biggest problem is the dream world being so perfect. The cops are well trained and I have to be at my best to get it done. I have missed my victim in previous two attempts with the knife and now I have to shoot him and I have no choice. Her he is, heading to church from the parking lot. I got to aim, I got to aim right, Am nervous.
‘Freeze’, I pulled the trigger as I heard this loud sound behind me and I missed the target. ‘Put your gun down, Now’, the police.
Next morning in the detention center, with the head of police and psycho doctor from the police.
‘Mr. Williams, may I know who are you aiming to execute in the terrace yesterday’, the police commanded me. ‘Steve’, I have to admit ‘Its steve my friend and I cant explain you why I am doing this’, I cant think much. ‘Mr. Williams, there is no person called Steve in there. Infact, there is no person called with name Steve in our database with the description you mentioned’
‘What ????’, I guess I don’t want to think any more on this crap. I need to get back. I need to wake up. I spotted the police gun in their pouch unlocked. I jumped across the table and grabbed the gun then aimed at him. As I wanted, I am late, I am too late to shoot him, I was shot by the guards and I uttered, ‘THANK YOU’.

Chapter 2
It was more a night mare than a dream. I got up, throwed the head band off and quickly called jack ‘Dude I cant reach Steve’….. ‘ Ya, I know’…. ‘Yes, I tried to use the gun, by the way why are these police confusing me telling there is no Steve. Are they projections or real people from Server security ?’…. ‘Whatever’
‘Honey, you ok ?’, My wife touched my shoulder as I was about to hangup.
‘Oh yes darling, just talking to Jack’, I feel like I am in hangover. ‘What ? Jack ? The one used to work with you in the labs ?’, she yelled in mysterious tone. ‘What you mean ‘used to’ aye ? He is still my colleague. Now go and get some break fast ready’, I pushed her aside and went to shower.
Oops. I forgot my towel. I got back to my room to pick up my towel and just happened to hear my wife talking on phone.
Next morning, St. Jones General Hospital.
‘Mr. Williams, I understand you are working on a high tech science projects on dream research and developing gadgets based on that. I also understand the job you are doing is most demanding and there fore the govt. suggested you for the 3 month rehab program to use your intelligence best for the project. I would appreciate if you could co operate with us’
‘Oh sure, I don’t think I have a choice’, I knew there is something freaky, its my wife initiated it, I know, what it could be ? I have to be patient, I already fixed the mic in my wife’s pocket. Only to know whats happening around me.
‘That’s perfect Mr. Williams, Now give us few minutes while I have to discuss with your wife alone on the procedures and formalities’
‘Fine, I will wait in my ward’, I answered politely and rushed to ward.
‘Doctor, what is happening with my husband ? Whom is he talking to on phone when Jack died due to heart attack few weeks ago and who is this Steve ?’, I can hear my wifes voice loud and clear. I am still in a shock. Why is she asking such questions ?
‘Mrs. Williams, I am afraid your husband is suffering from Schizoprenia where people still think and behave with the people who doesn’t exists, this may be as they can not tolerate the disappearance and their mind can not accept the fact’, What ???? I couldn’t believe why is every one insane ??? I finished hearing the conversation and hidden the headphones in the jack inside the toilet room.
What the hell is happening ? Why the hell the police in my dream mentioned there is no Steve ? Why the f**k every one says Jack is dead too ? I am some schizophrenic f**k !!! What is this ? Is this the real world ? or AM I STILL IN DREAM ?

Scientist Dr. Williams, a British-Indian from MIT found dead in his labs yesterday with out any signs of wound. It is known that Mr. Williams and his team were working on the research on Dreams for past 2 years along with scientist from all parts of India. Also, Dr. Williams’s colleague Dr. Jackson was found dead in similar way few months ago in the lab. The opposition party claims that the Indian government should now seriously consider to stop supporting this project only to find more scientists lose their life mysteriously for a project with no much meaning compared to other social problems the country facing at the moment.
