I wake up. The sun is sitting on my face. I brush it off and I go to the bathroom. I look into the mirror. 
 
 An unshaven face from outside reality looks back. *Yet another Tuesday morning. * I sigh. I turn on the faucet and splash fluid on my face and I pull out my crucifix from my pocket and I drag it down my face and tentacles slide into the void. 
 
 My alarm clock screams. *I'm going to be late for work. * I throw my clothes into the toilet and run out the door. 
 
 The grass pulls me off the porch and drags. *Now I'm late. * I punch it and it vanishes, leaving the cement ground behind. There is a box of air in the ground. 
 
 I walk over to the box and remove the top, inside is a fist-sized rock. I poke it. It does n't move. I pick it up. It stays on my tentacle. 
 
 I walk back inside and head to my laboratory. It ignores the spirits in the room. I throw holy water at it. It gets wet. I hit it with a chisel. A shard falls off. 
 
 *Maybe it's just an ordinary rock? * 
 
 *No. That's impossible. * I rub my eyes. *I have to be rational - it's just a shape-shifting imp or something. * 
 
 Boss's voice yells at me for being late in my head. I tell them that I'm too healthy to go to work. I hang up and resume my investigation...
