EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT
There's No Time Left to Wake Up. And That's What Scares Him Most.
Johnny wakes up. Again.
But something's wrong every time he does. The lights feel off. The clocks never show the right time-some don't even show real time. The numbers flicker between 3:00, 8:00... and sometimes, something impossible: 88:88. He tries to brush it off, but nothing holds steady. Not the walls, not his memories, and not even his own mother.
The more he searches for what's real, the deeper he sinks into a pattern that doesn't feel like sleep-or life. It's as if every layer of waking only hides another trap beneath it. The only way out might be through fear, blood, and a knife he keeps far too close. But even then... he just wakes up again. And again. And again.
Something is watching him. Maybe even testing him. And as Johnny starts to remember things he was never supposed to know, the truth begins to slip through the cracks-about himself, his reality, and a system that may be far more than just a dream gone wrong.
Who-or what-keeps resetting his life?
And when Johnny finally wakes up for real... will he still be himself?
