In his final year of university, Zack is weighed down by constant stress from his family, who pressure him for reasons he can't control. One night, in a moment of desperation, Zack stumbles upon a mysterious website that promises a way out.Trying it...
Saturday flew by rapidly, even though I was counting the minutes afraid of facing what's coming tomorrow it still ended too quickly. I couldn't get anything done, I tried studying, drawing, playing videos games, anything but to no avail, I couldn't concentrate on anything. The girls noticed that but they were unable to do anything to help me. I was basically on autopilot, disconnected from reality itself.
Before I knew it, it was Sunday. I couldn't sleep too well the previous night. I kept having mini dreams, each one waking me up disturbed more than the one before it. I gave up on sleeping at 7 in the morning and just stared out the window. I texted mom asking her how she was feeling. 30 minutes later she replied. She told me that she was nervous but at the same time sure that she'll be fine. My hands were shaking, I was frightened.
Mom sent me one final message before going to the hospital trying to keep me reassured that everything will be fine. I read it multiple times, trying to convince myself that this will turn out good. Although I couldn't help but be too nervous. An 8 hour surgery was nothing short of dangerous, and I have to wait until late at night to be able to get a word about her.
I picked my resolve up, Determined to stay strong for mom's sake. I decided that doing some excercises would help me get my mind off of this topic. After a couple of minutes I wore some sports wear and went out for a jog. I was able to keep my mind blank as I navigated the area before finally returning home an hour later.
"Someone's energetic!" Mackie smiled at me as I entered the apartment.
"I needed some fresh air." I told her.
"What's your plan for today?" She asked.
"I don't know.. I was thinking maybe if I cooked something I could pass the time." I answered.
"Not a bad idea! Let's have breakfast and then we can decide on what to cook." She suggested and I nodded in agreement.
A short breakfast later followed by cleaning up, we were standing in the kitchen getting stuff ready to cook. 4 hours went on like a breeze as the food was in the oven being cooked. I went to my room to get a short rest. It was now 3 in the afternoon.
"Still three hours..." I told myself as I sat down on the edge of my bed. I looked over at my closet and decided that I will get changed to prepare myself mentally to meet mom in the hospital. I chose the wide jeans along with the purple shirt and a black and green leather jacket, got changed and went back out.

"Oh you're already changed?" Rama asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah.. I got quite restless and felt like it would help to get changed." I answered.
After we were done eating I sat nervously on the sofa waiting for the call to happen. Right on cue, my phone started ringing, I rushed to answer but it was Martin on the other side of the call.
