prologue
Jacob looked into the mirror, it was midnight now right? It should be. His discomfort of the new place he found himself in instead of feeling happy for himself was overwhelming, his new start of life with a great job as a well paid software engineer and the freelance artist along with a nice apartment. What could be so possibly wrong? “Everything is fine... Jacob, just like Dr. Evans had said, I’m simply taking things overboard like I usually do.” He mumbled, his voice deep from his awakening. Jacob splashed his face lightly with water and ran his hands through his dark long hair and left not before turning off the lights, As he made his way to his bed he glance over to his bedroom window and saw a woman sitting on a bench in the complexes garden and he watched her hum “She’s outside this late? What an idiot” he thought quietly to himself but there was something off about her just like everyone else when he walked in, everyone was obsessed with her. But she looked so normal to him so he treated her like everyone else. “I know you’re watching me.” It was a soft spoken voice yet it was laced with something unusual... Coming from his thoughts but that didn’t matter now, The woman was looking up at him with a nerve wracking smile. As Jacob blinked she was gone in an instant “I... I really need the sleep today is a big one and I don’t want to miss out.” he whispered to himself then crawled into his bed, hiding under the safety of his covers and fell asleep with such ease.
