Mystical Dream

"Ahhhh--" I screamed so blaring then...
*Beep beep
A loud horn is shouting from behind my car. "Hey, move your ass off the road if you don't want to drive. Come on" someone shouted on the warpath from behind my car.
"I'm still alive? Yes I'm still aliv-" I said but I didn't get to wrap up what I am saying. I touched myself and did a face palm. "Oh my Gosh, I will be really crazy at this rate" I whispered when I realized that I never took off my mask and moved my eyes away with my reflection on the mirror.
"What is that non compos mentis thing that I saw? What is happening to me? " I said as I took off my mask and gaze at it. On the spur of the moment, I've made out this thought that maybe I was right. But how is that even possible?
"You are just a lifeless mere mask" I said as I hold it in front of me.
I decided not to proceed at my friend's house and went home. I just sent her a message that I suddenly am not feeling well and will not be able to take part on her sister's birthday. I have something of the essence that I have to do.
I got home, still holding this mere mask. "You're making me think of crazy things huh?" I said while looking at it.
I took the lighter from the kitchen and make one's way to the back of my house. I'm already decided that I will get rid of it, I will burn this mask. I don't know if I'm being out of my mind or what. I just don't want it anymore.
It's still unbelievable to think that ever since I got the hold of this mask, my life had become mysterious. "What are you doing to me? What do you want from me?" I murmured out on myself as I look at this mask. I don't want this anymore, I think this is out of the normal but, I just wanted to bring back my normal days.
I was about to light it up but then-
"Hey sleepyhead wake up, eat your breakfast you're gonna be late for school" my mom said while tapping me continuously. I'm still sleepy, but I know I didn't sleep late last night.
"Okay okay I'll get ready" I said while yawning.
As I get up the bed, I remember that I had set one's sight on something, but I couldn't remember what it was. It feels kind of mystical, I woke up with my heart beating so jammed. I know that it's because of that dream.
It has been 2 years since the pandemic took place and all the things are back to normal now, Thank Goodness!
But our Alma mater still requires us to wear mask. People still wear mask at any moment they take one's self off outside their houses. It has been a common thing to do.
I'm still feeling uneasy because of something, but I really can't point out what this feeling is about, what could cause such a feeling.
I'm spacing out every minute, I picked up my bag then I sighed heavily.
"What's wrong sweetie? Lazy for school?" my mom said as she noticed me bringing up an uneasy face.
"No mom, I just.."
"You're gonna be late" mom said as she kissed my forehead.
"O- okay.. Bye mom, I'm going now" I uttered.
"Wait sweetie, I bought you a mask yesterday, put it on" my mom said as she handed me a mask.
This mask looks familiar, it feels like I've seen it before.
"A nice lady vendor approached me, she has pretty nice masks so I decided to buy you one, she even said that it will suit my daughter" mom said.
"I didn't even know how she knew I have a daughter" she added while looking up, touching her chin. Maybe she's some sort of a fortune teller or something like that.
"Well that's quite a peculiar matter, I have to go now, bye mom" I said then I wear
the MASK.
