- MARIA POV

Hi! I’m Maria and I’m 24yrs. Old and I have a 2yrs old son his name are Kyle and my partner John…

We leave here at his parents’ house because we can’t rent because of these calamities happening now

I can’t understand what is happening there is a volcano eruption in another part of the world and because I’m always watching the news I know that different calamities happening now…

I can’t find a job also because the economy is down…

So I stay home I’m just stress because as it's like the end of the world

because of what is happening now…

And also because of these weird dreams, I got …

its starts a few months ago after the Lunar eclipse…

I don’t know what is happening to me, every night I got nightmares and I see myself always with strange clothing like power ranger … at first, I laugh because it can’t be true…

First I’m 24 and not some teenager believing in fairy tales and aliens…

Second, I can’t fight and third I’m a family woman now.

I tell it to my partner and friends because I don’t know somehow I got this feeling like it will happen even I know it’s impossible…at first, my partner and friends think that maybe because I have postpartum depression that’s why I see myself fighting with creatures and like aliens…

But in my mind, I also think that maybe this is just an illusion and stress that’s why I dream about aliens because it can’t be true….

Then after that, I never say anything to them because I don’t want to be laughed at by them…

After Few days I still dreaming some weird dreamlike as if it’s a memory of me…

Then I realize that when I’m a teenager I also dreaming like this but not this intense dream I have now…

When I’m 16 years old I dream of this kind of thing…

I dream before that I meet powerful persons and they said that I’m one of them and I’m the reincarnation of someone …but it’s almost 8 years already I almost forget my dreams when I’m a teenager …

Days past and as a mother, I had to take care of my son and partner…

We’re not married but we love each other...

After I finish cleaning dishes I hear some noise like an airplane but when I lookup

I didn’t see anything but the sound looks like it’s near …I just ignore it and then go inside the room...

I see my sons and partner still sleeping so I go near them then I try to sleep

It's only 7 am so it’s okay if I sleep also...

Then I didn’t aware that I exceed sleeping when I wake up …I got up quickly then go to the kitchen and see if there will be something we can eat then I see the time its 11 am so I start cooking…

After cooking I prepare the food on the table and then I call my son and John

“Hon, let’s eat call your mother also…” – I shout

“Okay…check baby Kyle if it's awake … I will call them” – John said

Then I see my baby …walking out of the room…

It’s obvious he's still sleepy…

“Mamma...Mama” – Baby Kyle said

I smile then pick up him to carry him his 2 but he loves to be carried and I don’t mind carrying my baby always.

“Yes, baby … are you okay? You look sleepy baby”- I said them he lean on me and I hear nothing I check on the mirror if he is sleeping then I see that his eyes were closed…so I go to the room and put him back on the bed…

Then I walked back to the Dining area and I see John putting food on his plate…

“Mom not home … Hon, let’s eat” – John said

“Okay” – I said then after him I start putting food also on my plate then we start eating…

After eating I wash the dishes then I go back to our room…

I open the computer then I start writing again…

I don’t have work but writing is one f my hobbies… a stress reliever for me…

Then the night comes…I stop writing

I prepare food for my baby …then

After eating and make sure baby Kyle was asleep I start writing again and finish my chapter

Then I lie in bed and go to sleep…

Then I wish I don’t dream anything again… but I guess I'm wrong…

-

There are many unknown things I see I don’t know if I’m dreaming but I see myself fighting with some creatures and I can say that is my other self because I can’t

be good on this…on fighting…

Then it became intense and became brutal I see some people running then I see creatures that attacking people …and then……

EATING THEM… I shout with fear…. Ahhhh…Ahhhh… Stop but I don’t know I can’t move at all I can only do is watched them… my body is shaking…

I got shocked at what I’m seeing but then my other self killed that creature who was attacking and eating people…

It’s bloody….

Then they try to get my other self… I shout when I see some drone that has metal tentacles and shot her …

Ahhhh…Ahhhh…stop no...no…- I just closed my eyes

Then I feel someone is shaking me...

“NO… NO… “ – I shout then I got awake...My body feels fear

“Hon, are you okay… you're having a nightmare? what is it?” – John said

“ Just some Ghost and bad creatures” – I said I don’t want to say I see myself almost being killed…

“Oh…Okay… I will hug you so you will forget that” – John said then hug me

I hope so…  (I said on my mind)

I try to sleep and after almost an hour I think...

Reporter Head: " We will see that there is a tornado on the video and it's destroying the science facility on Atlantic...

we can talk to one of the survivors of the incident  ...

can you tell us what happened back there?"

The staff of the Facility: "At first there is a strange sound and the weather suddenly changes then we see the clouds start circling so we hide on the caves that near us... then we see that the facility was destroyed and after that, the tornado was gone as if its only purpose is destroying the Facility..."

Reporter 2: Are you saying that Tornado was gone after its destroyed the facility?

The staff of the Facility: Yes... Now it's destroying all the other bases. I'm lucky to survive...I hope it stops destroying our science facilities.

few weeks have past and my dreams still bothering me...

I still ignore it until I receive a parcel...

One day there is a strange person and

he delivers a parcel to me and when I see the sender I got shocked...

the Sender was Drayno and Pearl

they are one of the people I remember in my dreams...

"Hon did you order something?" - John asked.

"No! my friends came back from the states and give me this " - I lied because I can't say that I don't know.

"Can you bring the 2 boxes upstairs" - I said to John

"Of course ...Hon, you go first" - John answered

"Okay, thank you"- I climb the stairs and bring the third box to our rooms.

I opened the box I bring ...I see a letter so I read it first...

- the letter-

Hi! First, we know you are shocked and Confused but we need to talk to you. Second, in this letter, you can see our phone number and you can call us and we will answer all of your questions...

give us a chance there is something that will happen and I think you already know it...

Maria, Help us! We will explain everything...

by Drayno & Pearl

I hold my mouth because of shock...

how can be possible that is true and real?

I see the number and I don't have a load so I fold the letter and see what is on the box...

I see two boxes of laptops, two boxes of iPhone xs, and two boxes of Samsung s21 plus then I see a blue pouch...

when I open it I see two ATM cards and a hundred thousand pesos

each card has a note of what is the password.

I put all the things back on the box and closed it...

then I hear steps maybe my partner John...

" Hon, this is the second box... your friends send this... " - John asked

" Yes... hon lets open it." - I said

"Maria, what are those boxes? where it from? " - I hear a voice asking then is see his mother at the door

" They are from my friends from overseas Aunty Mimi.." - I said

" OH! okay," - Aunty Mimi said she stay at the door

we start opening the box I opened the First box when I see the things inside I looked at them and I see they were shocked

...

the Box is full of clothes, bags, and shoes

" Wow ...you have good friends..who are they maybe they can come here.." - Aunty said and looking at me

" Yes... Aunty, I will say to them .."- I said

"Hon, Can I try these shoes ?" John asked

" Of course Hon... Feel free .. (I looked aunty ) Aunty you can also look.." - I said and then I also started checking.

I separated some clothes for my parents and siblings... then I give Aunty what she likes and give John's sister also clothes and bags are too many and I should share.

when I make sure everything is arranged I started opening the last box...

then I see that there was a small box inside I separated it then I see that its full of chocolates and food...

-cans, snacks, noodles, and two bags of first aid kits...

I open the small box and I see 10 bracelets and I see that it had trackers...

Then I see another pouch and it's full of makeup ... I smile...

after opening it we give some cans, snacks, and noodles to our tenants.. then I separated some for my families so I can arrange delivery for them to get it.

they said thank you...

and I'm happy I help them...

after that Aunty Mimi didn't ask me to cook that night.. because I said that I have work to do...

but the truth is I will call them so I will know the truth...

I'm tired of these dreams...

I started dialling their number. I call Drayno cause in my dream he is the oldest of them...

It Starts ringing but no one answered...

I tried again then I hear a familiar voice.
