You remember way back when i did that Pick a Path thing? Well, i'm bringing it back!

this Episode is called Chimera Nightmare. I had to look some other word up other than Haunted, and Chimera came up. to reduce space, here's what it came up in the thesaurus-
dream, fantasy, Ghost, Illusion, Dream, creation in ones mind. This is what i'm going to use in the story.
SO! Let's get started! There will be polls and the next chapter will start every 2 days. And we need to pick a name for the character. Otherwise, he will remain anonymous. There will also be stats given due to some choices you make, due to the character being in a dream. They will be given at the end of a chapter. The results are public for the first question only. I want to see what everyone thinks. The results HAVE to be over 50% for one vote. if it's a tie and everyone has voted, I will make the last vote.

Prologue

It's 2:43 pm. The moon shines, lighting the whole room with an elegant white light. But you don't stare at the moon: You stare at the infinitely black sky.
You can't sleep. You've spent over 4 hours trying to, but you just can't. This isn't the only time it's happened. Today, you've went to the psychologist and asked if he could prescribe you with sleeping pills. He said to take 2 every two hours. You've taken 4 pills so far.

What is making you stay awake? Is it your fear of dogs, which has tormented you since you were a little kid? Who knows. Your not even sure yourself.
Your eyes slowly start getting heavy. All that staring must have made you tired. That, or the pills finally kicked in. You yawn. You get one last glance at the moon, and fall into a deep sleep.

Chapter 1-Welcome to the Realm of Dreams

You wake up, as soon as you fell asleep. You must be in the Dream World, for the sun shines on the field of grass you lay on. You get up, stretch, and walk around.

You find a road, and on it are 3 signs: Pointing to the left, one reads Town. Pointing straight ahead, another reads Farm. The last one, pointing right, reads Camp.
Which will you pick, or do you want to walk around more?

Stats!

Lucidity (Gaining control of your dream)(More you have, more options are available)-50%
Fear (More Fear you have, the less options are available.)-50%

today and probably every weekend i'm going to add to the story. So weekends will have 2 entries.

Chapter 1 Results

You walk on the path marked "Town." As your walking, you look back, and the fields of grass slowly turn grey, as if something is slowly burning it. Even the trees are shriveling up and dying. The butterflies flying around slowly stop beating their wings, touch ground and die.

Was this the cause of your action by taking the town road? Or is this just in nature, like the 4 seasons?
But whatever it is, your fear increases a bit.

Chapter 2-Town

In the distance, you can see a town. With all the dead grey grass and trees, the town looks awful. From here, all you can see is dark reds and grey's.

As you get closer to the town, Warning signs can be seen not too far away. As you approach one, it reads "Don't Come if you Don't want to DIE. TAIKO is not for the feint of heart."
You look back, seeing if you can turn around, but the road behind has disappeared, as if your footsteps erased the road bit by bit. You can't turn back anyway, due to all the winding roads and such. You have no choice-You start walking towards the town.

As you enter, you noticed that dark red color was the color of blood. A man in his 70's with ragged cloths approaches you, asking If you have money. What will you do?

Fear-54%
Lucidity-50%

well, i'll put in my vote and see if i can fix it somehow. my vote means crap-all.

Ed-I fixed up the votes. The only problem is that it's multiple choice, so please only pick ONE.

I'll take your posted votes and say "Screw what i said about every 2 days." I'll make it a full 24 hours to make it go faster.

Looks like it's giving the hobo money. and sorry 'bout missing a day.
Chapter Results

You felt sorry for the old guy. You gave him most of the money you have. He thanks you and runs off. Well that's a relief. If you had have ran away, you would have been shot or stabbed for sure. Telling him you had none would have been really ugly. Remember, this is the dream realm and not real life.
As you continue into town, you see the old guy splitting the money you gave to him with others. Oh well, better than bleeding to death. Your fear decreases.
Chapter 3-Anonymous Voice

The town still kind of creeps you out. The sky is infinitely dark red, blood is spilled around all the walls, everyone is wearing raggedly long shirts and pants and you assume everyone has a knife underneath it all. Every once in a while, you can hear a loud chuckle and a fading scream. This isn't your ideal town.

As your walking around, you notice something unusual. A house. What's unusual about it is that it's not old, dirty and about to fall apart, but it looks like it's brand new. The grass is green and there's a dog house in the front yard. The house is white. It even seems like it glows due to it's brightness. You decide to go ask the owner where you are, seeing if he can provide an atlas or something.

You step onto the porch steps and knock on the door. You can hear someone say "Come In!" As you open the door, the inside looks even better than the outside. Everything is polished into gold. The desk, which lies right beside the door, and everything on it (Except the paper) is completely made out of gold. "Come in! Don't be afraid. I'm in the library on your right." You walk into a library. Inside are books of unimaginable widths. There must be at least 1,000 pages in each. They all circle around the room, stopping in the middle of a wall where a fireplace rests. Wood is burning inside, but the flames are blue. How can this be? There's a Platinum Whiteface Cockatiel inside it's cage by a plant, and a chair is set in front of the fireplace. But, it doesn't seem like anyones sitting in it.

You hear the voice, as clear as a whistle. "So, who're you? M'new trainer?" You check the chair just to be sure the voice isn't coming from there. But all there is is an empty space. You start getting scared a bit, not enough to increase fear yet. what will you do?
