Induced Reality

It starts as a normal day. A young boy sits quietly in his car seat, but an overwhelming wave of nausea quickly gives way to a terrifying realization—his surroundings are glitching. Objects appear out of place, reality feels distorted, and a deep sense of dread takes over. As the hallucinations intensify, a sudden spike of adrenaline fractures the illusion.He realizes this fake reality is a protective trick played by his own mind. Hours earlier in the waking world, a massive summer storm was brewing. Plunging out of his subconscious prayer and back into stark reality, he wakes up at 5:00 PM to a world consumed by an unnatural darkness. A monstrous tornado is actively forming right outside. With mere seconds left on the clock, he must brave the howling winds, rescue his cats, and make a desperate run for the storm bunker in a terrifying race against a force that almost claims his life.
