He woke up soon afterwards, but everything was different. He was in bed. His bed from back home. He sat up to see that he was in his bedroom like nothing ever happened.
Wirt got out of bed feeling extremely weak, he could almost fell over. "Am I dreaming or was that whole experience..." Wirt asked himself confused at his own question. He dragged himself downstairs feeling cold and lightheaded. He went to see if there was any medicine in the cabinet when he heard a familiar voice, a voice he hadn't heard in years. "Wirt?" said the voice. The voice was the voice of a man, he sounded comforting and warm, safe and nostalgic. it was the kind of voice that gave you the feeling of home no matter where you were.

Wirt wanted to scream. And maybe even cry.
"But there is a good side to this"
"What are you playing at.." Wirt said uneasily.
"Well you know actually being able to hug your father and even see your brother. All your problems will go away if you let me take full control."
"NEVER" Wirt stood up struggling to stand up.
