After considering if I have insomnia, I blew it away 'If I have insomnia, then the problems come from the real looking ilussion shocking me. Best to ignore it then.'

Then the door opened again, this time a doctor and not a nurse. Also nervous, probably not because I'm alive. "Hello mr Payne, can you please let me look at your condition?"

"Yes you may doctor" I told the doctor

"That is good mr Payne, please follow me." After saying that the doctor made a gesture for me to follow him.

I listened to him and followed him, we walked into the halls of the hospital. I was bored so I looked around and thought about how happy I was that retail clinics weren't restricted, 'Luckily I'm not going to go broke from this examination.'

There was another monster hidden inside a shadow, this time not in the corner of my eye. It was a weird dark slime monster that had a human form, it made a soft gurgle. But using my expert mind, I ignored it. And my bieg brain plan worked, somehow. Really thought it wouldn't work too, insomnia is weird.

The doctor while walking in the hallway, tried to make some small talk "My name is Newman Imel, how has your day been going?"

"Pretty good, I came back from a near death situation. And for some reason I can also move my body way better than someone my age should be able to." I said while looking around the hallway, noticing that there were no people exept Newman and me. After noticing that a couple nurses nervously walked past me, stiff and afraid.

Over time the halls started filling up to what I thought of as a normal level of activity inside of a hospital.

After seeing 3 more Insomnia monsters, we arrived at a more vibrant door than the others. That figuritively said 'This is important!', very weird. Newman opened the door and said "This is where we'll look at your condition, please enter."

It was what I thought of as a doctor's office with my basic medical knowledge, weird. While I did the examinition another paranoia monster apeared from the shadows, this time a spider twice the size of a tenis ball that walked on my back and clawed at the back of my head, then dissapeared again. I even felt pain, slight pain, but pain is pain. 'Mayby they aren't paranoia demons' A scary thought.

After all the test, taking temputure, doing that hammer knee thing, and a couple more. Dr. Imel said "This is weird, all the the tests say that you're completly healthy. you apperantly have the body of someone in their prime, this could be a great finding in the medical community!" Newman said excitedly.

"Really?" I said sarcasticly "Then get another subject for your little research project." I said in a condesending tone.

Newman bit his lip in frustrasion, but said "Yes, I understand that it would be uncomfortable to be test subject. And everything looks to be going well, there are no signs of your illness still being active and ravaging your immune system." He bit his lip again and said "So you'll be able to leave, we have called your family that your alive and that they should come to pick you up."

I nodded to what he said, I loathed that I had to meet that dissapointment of a son again. 'Why couldn't that dream be real?'

Dr. Imel then walked away saying "Just stay here your family will come to this room to pick you up"

While waiting another paranoia monster appeared this time in the form of a dog, it leapt at me immediately. I punched at it's direction in a way that looked like I was testing out my body, because that's believable. I haven't moved around for 4 months in my memory, it would be weird if I was able to use my body perfectly, like I am currently.

When my fist thouched the Paranoia demon, it shattered like weak glass. Not like in a cartoon which the character defies the laws of physics and stops all momentum. All the shards dispersed when they touched the ground. Except one that when it touched the ground became smaller, gaining the shape of 8 sided die. And gained an orange tinge. I was shocked that that I felt the paranoia demon when I hit it at that moment, but also something that I believe to be physical coming from a metaphysical being, or what I believe to be metaphysical. (Yes I'm making him say big words so that he sounds smart. Crash course: physical = matter, real things, ect. metaphysical = ghosts, souls, bogus psychics, ect.)

I quickly thought to myself 'since I started transformastion on the floor, the people that watch the recordings of the security camera's shouldn't see anything weird.' I started doing stretches to hide me picking up the orange 8 sided die, after I picked it up I quickly hid it in my hand, I made a fist. After picking up the crystal I stopped doing the fake stretches, ready to keep a fist for an hour while waiting for a disapointment to pick me up.

45 minutes later a middle aged man entered the room and said "Good to see you're alive old-timer." The middle aged man was my dissapointment of a son.

"you need more than huntington's disease to kill me. Let's go home, you haven't had any incidints like having someone falsely accuse you of rape?"

the man coughed and said "No dad, no one has made a false rape claim okay. We are still well off with a villa, security force, maids, and the like"

What my son said made me sigh with relief, at least he didn't mess anything up while I was in the hospital. "Was there a controversy by the SJW (social justice warriors) or femminists?"

"uhmm, I wouldn't talk about that if I were you." My son said a bit conscerned.

"Wait, do those hypocrytes get offended by the word controversy now. This is so annoying, lets talk about this further in the villa." I walked out of the door that my son had not closed. Then walked toward the exit expecting my son to follow, being the weak willed dissapointment that he is.

And he followed saying "U-um there are reporters outside."

I then said condesendingly "Why should I care?"

"Well if you say something wrong while not in a good state of mind, there would be an uproar." the dissapointment said

I made a small laugh and said "What will they do then? I don't care if I get canceled by people that don't give me money. Even if I do offend a costomer base, I have a bunch of income streams!"

After I said that the dissapointment just followed quietly, and looked distraught/sad.

I had trouble finding the exit and my son was definitely not going to tell me where the door was. 'Right, no, no, left.'

'This place is a labyrinth.' After being confused for around 10 minutes I started understanding how the hospital's sorting system for their rooms. 'So if I go right then left I'll find room R7.' I took a right on the next turn and found J2. 'Wrong again? First, let's add it to the map' I started drawing on the makeshift map that I've been drawing on the back of a free folding pamphlet for the last 5 minutes, It wasn't a large map. Getting annoyed I asked my son "Why didn't the previous path that I took to get inside of the place where I went comatose work?"

The dissapointment said "Well, while you where in comatose you were relocated to another hospital." The dissapointment hid his face behind his arms thinking that he was going to be beaten.

I asked angerly "Then where's the exit!"

My son "I-I don't know, okay! We've been walking around a lot, and I wasn't able to keep track of the way towards the exit." The dissapointment looked ashamed.

I sighed and said "This is why you're a dissapointment, it's not that I hate you. You're just" I made a fake difficult face "Not not up to my standards, and that would be acceptable but you are also not resistant to peer presure." Then I continued to walk, trying to figure out where the hell the exit is. The dissapointment followed after me still, knowing that without me he will be lost completely.

After I don't know how long, I just chose not to keep track of the time for my sanity. A few sleep paralysis demons appeared, nothing special happened. When they got close to me like the others, they dissapated. Still having the orange crystal hidden in my hand, it definitely wasn't getting annoying. Then when I got to the next T intersection, when I took a right I saw flickering lights. The further I saw into the hall the darker the hall got.

I instantly turned around saying "Nope, nope, nope." But when I saw the left hall, it was the same as the right hall. "Nope, nope, nope." I instantly chose to go back the way I came, the amount of red flags I saw and how many alarms went off because of those halls were enormous. I wouldn't be suprised if the ghost of some deceased that died because of some depressing reason, that wants to kill me, would apear.

"Nope! We are going back, I don't want to die." After looking at way we came from, it's lights started to flicker. Then it also looked like it is the way sleep paralysis demons come into this world.

"I'm going to die aren't I?" I said, completely excepting it too. After saying that the lights permanently turned off, one by one. Quickly, but not two at the same time.

when everything went dark, I was expecting to die to that 'ghost with a tragic backstory'. but suddenly the lights went back on, I looked around and the dissapointment was there afraid and shocked. We were at the end of a hall, right in front of me was the elevator.

Choosing not to have the horrifying thoughts on the human condition I should have at that moment, I walked at the front of the elevator, opened the elevator, and walked inside. I told the dissapointment "Come on! I don't have all day!" I kept the elevator's door open.

My son still in shock, just said "Yes, yes." And walked inside of the elevator in a daze, asking me "What the hell just happened?"

"The thing is, I just don't think about things like this. I would like to keep my sanity." While saying that I opened the futuristic panel and choosing the first floor as the destination for the elevator.

While the elevator was moving the dissapointment leaned on the wall, trying to get his bearings. And I was looking at the orange crystal, holding it in front of the lights to see it better. The crystal looked like nothing special, But because I had nothing better to do, so I chose to inspect the orange crystal for a few of minutes.

After some time my son calmed down, and asked "Where did you get that crystal?"

What the dissapointment said shocked me 'So others can see it.' Not showing it and down playing how I got it I said "Oh, it was just laying on the ground inside of the elevator. You must've not noticed that I picked it up."

My son said to that "Y-yea, that makes sense. But why are you looking at it?"

Again down playing the fact that I have an orange crystal, I said "It's the most intresting thing in this inside of this elevator." Saying it like it was obvious.

the my son again said "You do know that there are now some simple repetitve games on the panel right." Telling me something I didn't know.

"Not that, that matters now" I said while activating the panel, it said that It will only take half a minute to get to the first floor, a pretty good time for the 16th floor to the 1st floor. At least I believe so.

The dissapointment made an 'oh' sound and waited, I also waited till the elevator doors opened.

When the elevator door opened I saw a blood red sky, there were cracks in the fabric of space in that sky. There were screams of agony, originating from people getting eaten alive / killed by monsters and abominations.
