Room Zero has a place in my heart. I watched it while I was really sick, sick enough to be kept home from school because of a bad fever. I listened to someone read it. It unnerved me, but not too much. I went to bed and had a fever dream, a dream I woke up crying from and still remember from this day. It was a first person pov. It was like I was watching this through a camera, like I wasn't me or wasn't there. I was in a disney park (note, I've never been to disney) and it was a sunny, busy day. There was a bench, with trees on either side. However, there was something weird that no one was noticing, seemingly. There was a teenage girl sitting on the bench, like 14. She was wearing a 1960's era red dress that was buttoned up to her neck, and Mary janes. She had auburn, braided hair. She was slumped over, half laying on the bench. She was an obvious corpse; miscolored skin, black fingertips, not moving. She also had a gas mask on. People kept bustling by,.all I could hear was people talking. A few people passed her, even. Like, a family with young kids. Some people even sat by her, not noticing at all. I watched for what felt like hours upon hours, as the sun began to set. The thing that made me wake up was that she began moving. She came to life, desperately gasping for air in her gas mask. With jerky movements, she tried to remove the mask, but was failing until she torn it off. She looked right at me with milky eyes, and that jolted me awake. Because it felt like hours in the dream, it started out unnerving but became more sad. Like, can someone please notice her so she can get a proper burial? But her waking up was like my brain jumpscaring me multiple times in a very short amount of time.
