Echo: *Looks around* Where the- This has to be a dream..
*Their head does a 360 degree turn, and you notice it's an eye, one bleeding from the iris, at that. It could be comparable to some sort of hyphema, but it's different.*

Your clock had read precisely 5:55 AM, and then stopped.
The numbers shifted back to an impossible origin, a time that doesn't even exist, 0:00.
You tried to fix your clock, figure out the cause behind this sudden and incomprehensible change, but nothing could be solved. It stayed at the same time.
0:00.
Eventually, you gave up and drifted off to sleep, fitful and restless. After several times of waking up and going back to sleep, you awaken into a strange dream, confronted by someone, or rather, something.
They're familiar, as if you'd seen them in dreams before this one, but only as a recurring background character.
This feels almost... real, as if it's happening somewhere in the waking world, and not just the depths of your subconscious.
