Reading Journal Week 10 - Strange Conversations/Flash Fiction

          "No, you're probably thinking things. Man, you've must have hit your head hard. When we escape you've got to lay down and rest or something." said Tobias.
          "No, I'm not lying. I didn't get hit, everything is true." I responded.
          "Relax. Lets just escape and then we'll talk. OK?
          "OK, but please believe me."

          "Alright." He said unconvincingly.

          We ran away from where we were and escaped from the facility pretty easily.

          "That was too easy, things like this are never that easy." I told Tobias.

          "That's right." He said. "But for now the danger seems to have passed. As I promised, you must rest."

          I was about to resist, but sleep sounded so good especially next to Tobias. Tobias wasn't one of those guys that was sexy looking at first glance, and honestly, he wasn't my type. But for some reason, I really want to kiss him. Maybe it was the whole "switching bodies" thing that was doing this to me. I snuggled in next to him and fell asleep.

          The man knocked Jennie down and ripped the gun from her hands. "Come on Tris, lets go." he said.
         "Who are you?" I asked, not moving.
         "Its me Tobias. Don't you know?." He stretched out his hand.
        I shook my head as if to clear my thoughts. "Oh, yeah. Right, lets go." I said as I took his warm hand.
        We ran through hallways, past doors and into ventilation shafts. "Do you know where we're going?" I asked.
         "Yes. This is the way I came in to rescue you."
         "Wait." I pulled him into an empty room and sat down in a chair.
         "We have to go, why are you stopping?"
         "I have to tell you something."
         "What could be more important that escaping?"
         "I'm not Tris. I am Katniss, Tris's alternate dimension counterpart. Someone did something that switched our places. I don't know why. But I know one thing, I have to get back home."
         "You must have gotten hit really hard or something... Don't worry, It'll wear off."
         "No, this is real. I'll prove it. Now that that's out of the way, lets run."

Reading Journal Week 8 - Strange Conversations/Flash Fiction

          I stared at a pretty, blond woman wearing blue. I was holding a gun, pointed at her.
          "Who are you?" I asked in a voice not entirely my own.
          "You very well know who I am, Tris. I'm Jennie Matthews, but can you please lower that gun, I don't know why you would point it at me."
          She just called me Tris, that other girl's name, we must have all switched places. I'll just play along for now. "You're a friend?" I didn't lower the gun.
          "Yes, of course."
          "Then why would I be pointing this gun at you?"
          "Beats me. You tell me."
          Then I remembered something, Tris was looking for her boyfriend, maybe... "Have you seen Tobias?"
          "Who's Tobias? Wait, he's your boyfriend right? Oh, well. That was fun while it lasted, If you remember Tobias then you must remember what I did to you." She pulls out a gun, takes aim and is about to shoot, but is knocked down from behind by a man.

          Then I have an idea and say, "Against who?"
          "The Society, of course." she responds.
          "Ah, I get it now... We all come from places where an all powerful government controls what you do, right?" I ask
          "Right." they say
          "We all don't know of any other governing power besides our own, and we are all enclosed in an area. Right?"
          "Right." they say again, this time looking at eachother.
          "So, the only thing I can come up with is that we are all from different governments and our governments don't talk or tell us about each other."
          "That makes sense, but how would you explain getting thrown here into this... whatever it is. Come to think of it, the ground here doesn't look like anything I've seen before." Tris pointed out.
          "I just realized the same thing." Cassia said as I nodded along.
          "Hey, how did you get here? I was looking for the love of my life, Ky, and then this green glowy thing appeared in front of me and it sucked me in and then I was here." said Cassia 
          "That's kinda what happened to me. I was looking for my friend Gale, when a purple orb sucked me in." I said
          "This keeps getting weirder and weirder. I was looking in the Erudite stronghold for my boyfriend, Tobias, because he was captured. Then a red thing appeared and sucked me in." said Tris with fear and bewilderment in her eyes.
          "Maybe... hmmm... could it be possible? Maybe, just maybe..." mumbled Cassia.
          "What are you trying to say?" we asked her.
          "Oh, what? Oh, yeah... I was just thinking, maybe we could be from different dimensions. You know, because of the orb thing and the weird texture of the ground here. Maybe we're from different dimensions, and the orbs are brought us to an in between place or something like that."
          Then a deep voice boomed, "The quiet, less violent one is right. You are all from different dimensions, and are one and the same person."
          "Who are you, and what do you want with us?" yelled Tris
          "Nothing, except sending you to a place where you girls can't interfere with my plans again." he yells, his voice getting louder and deeper with every word.
          Cassia tries to yell something, but then there is a blinding white flash and the next thing I know, I'm pointing a gun at a woman wearing blue.
