I think I’m asleep

I think I’m asleep, at least I hope I am. My name is Apollo and chances are this is all happening in my mind, I fell asleep not too long ago. I can’t remember exactly when. I was the last to sleep in my town, because I didn’t want to go without a fight. When it was announced that everyone in my town would go “cold” ( that’s what they called it) I was worried. We (me, my mom, and my dad) just moved here, we weren’t supposed to move here, we stopped at this town to get a bite to eat, but my parents loved it so much we ended up staying and not going to our new house 10 km away. This town is weird, like everyone here used to be too normal ( they’re all gone now) no drama happens, no crimes. The town was like a big cult, all the parents met up in the town centre for a weird ritual meeting (ok maybe I’m over exaggerating it was just a normal meeting) But that’s not the point, the point is everyone in the town we’re friends unless one family steps out of line. When we moved there I was an only child, but every family in town had 1 boy and 1 girl. EVERY single family. And all the houses were the same style, but different shades and neutral colours. This town was super gender specific, like all the boys were expected to play with a bouncy ball, and all the girls needed to skip rope. It’s weird but all the kids played at the same time after doing homework. Since I was an only child and my parents obviously didn’t have a daughter. The towns people pushed my parents into pregnancy. And when at first my mom and dad made excuses as to why the can’t have another baby. The towns people told my parents that another man can “do the job” with my mom. At the point it was crazy. They were forcing my parents practically apart. My dad fell into depression as my mom was being forced onto another man every day. Me and my dad thought about leaving, but we couldn’t anymore, since my mom was already having a baby ( with another man) we were trapped and honestly I didn’t like seeing my mom sleep with someone else. That made me question the towns true intentions. my dad lost his battle to himself and..... That was a month before the baby was born and the “cold” idea was brought up. The whole idea of going “cold” was that the towns people would basically form a strong juice that put everyone asleep. Everyone was expected to drink it, but of course I was defiant and was the last to go cold, well actually there was 2 towns men who practically forced me to drink it so I guess I was one of the last. I have no track of time as to when I went cold and .... via /r/scarystories https://ift.tt/2GPy3dy
