His name was Daniel. He was a simple man. He would wake up everyday at exactly 5:30 AM, he would get up, take a shower, brush his teeth, get changed, he would then be on his way out. Daniel would get in his car, set his GPS and be on his way. Daniel would every morning stop by his local fast food chain and pick up a small breakfast. You see, Daniel's life was simple and repetitive. He would do the same thing everyday, he would do the same work everyday. He would live the same way everyday. Daniel is what some would say “Living in the system”. But because of one action everything would change for Daniel.
Over time Daniel started to having trouble sleeping at night, doctors say that is was Insomnia and that Daniel shouldn't worry, oh but daniel did worry. This insomnia threw him off his cycle he couldn't do things properly, he would constantly lose thoughts or space out in the middle of work, Like anyone else he wanted to fix his sleeping issues but he knew it would go with time.
One night Daniel decides to go out, to see his neighborhood at night. He lived in a crowded city so he thought he would go to a bar of sorts, so Daniel decided to go to a local bar that would be open that late. He goes in, has a drink, orders some food. While he is sitting there he sees a man, there were a lot of men at this bar but this one stood out to him? Daniel decides to approach the man,
“Uh hey” Daniel said to the man, the man turns around and looks at Daniel for a second.
“Uh hello?” the man replies,
“Sorry for the bother i just say you over there and wanted to introduce myself” Daniel said sheepishly,
“Oh i'm sorry buddy i'm not gay” The man replied
“What no no no, i'm not gay either” Daniel said in an awkward tone,
“I ment like friends?” Daniel continues
“You wanna be friends with me?” The man replied,
“A random dude at a bar at 2 am?” He continues
“Yeah i guess” Daniel says “I could be a serial killer for all you know” The man says in a serious tone, “You're not right?” Daniel said “No” the man replied “My names omar” The man said while sipping on his drink
“Oh my dog was named Omar” Daniel replied,
“Cool?” Omar replied, Daniel realized that his first impression matters so he kept quiet,
“So what do you do for work Daniel?” Omar asked,
“Well I work in an office building, we sell birthday cards and such” Daniel said
“Hm nice” Omar replied. Daniel heads home that night happy, although he couldn’t fix his sleeping issues he did make a new friend
Daniel once again wakes up, Takes a shower, and get changed. But something is off, daniel feels this weird sense of change in his life. Daniel tries to brushes it off but he cant shake the feeling of change. He still decides to go to work and stop by his local fast food chain. As he gets out of his car at work, he notices something
“Is that omar?” Daniel whispers to himself

As he walked up he saw omar standing outside of the building he worked at alone
“Omar?” Daniel said
“Oh finally, Come on we got things to do” Omar replied
“I got work man, I-I can go” Daniel said
“Man just come with me you can miss one day of work” Omar replied in a demanding tone
“Yeah I guess your right” Daniel said
The two begin walking towards omar’s car
“So where are we going?” Daniel asked
“To solve a little problem” Omar replied
“Your driving” Omar says while throwing the keys to Daniel.
Daniel takes the keys and gets in the car, he is feeling a mix of scared but excited, he begins to drive to where Omar told him to go
“So what problem are we solving” Daniel asked
“You’ll see soon” Omar replied while rummaging through his bag
“WHatchu looking for” Daniel said sheepishly
“This” Omar says while pulling out a Handgun
“Woah what the fuck?” Daniel says in a concern tone
“Its ok im not gonna shoot you” Omar replies
The gun looks to be a small revolver with a chamber that can hold about 6 bullets.
“Still why the fuck do you have a gun?” Daniel said, at this point Daniel was terrified, he couldn't concentrate on the road, he was shaking so bad that he barely had control over the wheel.
“To do this” Omar said while pointing this gun at Daniels head
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOIN” Daniel says
“Crash the car” Omar said
“WHAT ARE YOU INSANE” Daniel yelled
“Crash THE FUCKING CAR OR I WILL BLOW A WHLE THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEAD” Omar yelled
“NO WAY ARE YOU INSANE” Daniel yelled back
“THREE” Omar yelled
“TWO” Omar continued
“ONE” Omars voice cracked throughout the air
Daniel swerves off the road, the car flips 3 times landing on the room. It's almost sad how some things can get out of control so fast, for Daniel this was just a beginning
“O-omar? Are you there?” Daniel said while coughing blood upside down
“O-omar?”
It goes black for Daniel, he can't see, he cant move, he cant feel. Daniel woke up in a hospital many hours later, confused and shooken by what happened he asks the nurse if omar was ok.
“Who?” the nurse replied
“The other guy in the car is he ok?” Daniel replied
“There was no one else in the car” The nurse replied
“Ye-yes there was he was in the car is he ok?” Daniel asked
“Sir you need to lay down and rest there was no one else in the car” The nurse replied
“YES THERE WAS I-I SAW HIM HE WAS THERE” Daniel yelled
“Sir im gonna need you to calm down” The nurse replied
“IM NOT INSANE HE WAS IN THE CAR” Daniel Screamed
“Im gonna need security to room 514 immediately” the nurse said into a walkie talkie
“WHERE IS OMAR” Daniel yelled while getting out of the hospital bed
“Sir stop, you need to lay down” The nurse said in a scared tone
Daniel proceeds to get out of the bed and lunges towards the nurse
“IM NOT INSANE WHERE IS omar” Daniel yelled while lunging towards the nurse
“SECURITY GET DOWN” yells 2 security guards while aim tasers and daniel
Daniel stops and stands there weeping “Im not insane i promise but where is omar” Daniel said while crying
