Eternal Sleep

Your life has long since gone downhill. Constant layoffs, dull days, and a complete lack of joy have become a familiar reality.
One day, you saw an ad for "Eternal Sleep" pills. They promised a world without pain or problems, where you could live the life you'd always wanted. Without a second thought, you bought a pack and swallowed three pills right away.
When you woke up, you found yourself in a beautiful world: an endless, blooming meadow, warm sun, and shining glass skyscrapers. You traveled through endless dreams, each one better than the last.
But gradually, you began to feel like someone was watching you. Sometimes, a tall, gray figure, covered in strange static, would appear at the edge of your vision. If you looked straight ahead, it would vanish.
One day, everything changed. The flowers turned black, the sky became overcast, the skyscrapers cracked, and the world was plunged into a thick gray fog.
The same figure appeared before you again. This time, it didn't disappear. It took a step... Then dozens of identical creatures appeared around you, forming a tight ring.
Their voices merged into one eerie whisper:

• You thought you could leave... But you don't leave here.
  The voices grew louder.
  — Every dream ends. Except this one.
