Dream Core

by Chad Musick

James is suddenly pulled into a dream, finding himself in a peaceful, almost enchanting world. At first, everything seems serene—the air is warm, the sky glows softly, and the landscape feels like a perfect escape from his daily life. But as time passes, the dream begins to shift. The once beautiful surroundings grow dark and twisted, and strange, unsettling things start to happen. James can’t tell if he’s still dreaming or if the nightmare has become reality. Desperate to escape this bizarre, now terrifying world, he begins to question everything around him—and even himself.

About the author

Chad Musick grew up in Utah, California, Washington, Texas, and (most of all) Alaska. Fell in love in California, moved with family to Japan, finally found happiness. A PhD in Mathematical Science but a love of both art and science.
