《The Midnight Man》Chapter 4 - Downstairs
Advertisement
They all shuffled quickly down the stairs into the living room. It was only 10 past 12.00, so they still had a long time until the game was over.
After chilling in the living room for about an hour, they started to think that this stupid game, really was just a stupid game. The only thing they had experienced in an hour of this game, was the occasional candle going out or flickering. But that was easily explainable. They were about to go upstairs again, when it finally got interesting.
They started hearing faint footsteps around the house, and they started hearing doors creak open and slam closed upstairs. They were all too scared to go up there, so they decided to stay where they were. They were all thinking the same thing: What if this is real, and the midnight man is actually looking for us upstairs.
About half an hour later they noticed something....
"Ummm guys, we did turn off All of the lights in the house, right?" Asked Colby pointing at a light coming from behind the door.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOO!!! WE CANT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON!!!!!" Screamed Sam, panicking. He sprinted to the room and opened the door, to find a light turned on. He walked inside and reached for the switch on the far side of the room.
SLAM!
The door slammed behind him and locked, trapping him inside.
"MY CANDLE! MY CANDLE! HELP! IT WENT OUT! I NEED THE LIGHTER!" Screamed Sam as he pounded hard on the door.
"NO, SAM! WHO HAS THE LIGHTER!?!? KATRINA!?!? JAKE?!?! NO, NO, NO WE NEED THE-"
"COLBY!" Katrina screamed, "CALM DOWN! PANICKING WILL NOT HELP SAM GET OUT OF THERE!"
Sam was now trapped in a small room, with no light and no lighter. The smoke from the extinguished candle filled the room with a familiar but terrifying smell. The gap under the door was too small to pass anything through, and the lighter was outside with Kat, Jake and Colby. Sam thought that he was alone, but he was not. The midnight man had found him, and he was about to find out what really happens when he catches you...

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
