Eyes widening in shock, Marty bolted out of bed and flicked on the bedside lamp, only to see that there<br />

was, indeed, a sheep standing next to h<strong>is</strong> bed.<br />

The sheep blinked at him. "Baaaaaa."<br />

Marty fell out of h<strong>is</strong> bed, dragging the covers with him to the ground.<br />

"Don't panic," Marty told himself, quoting w<strong>is</strong>e advice from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He<br />

edged slowly away from the sheep. He had no idea what it was doing in h<strong>is</strong> bedroom, and neither did<br />

he have any idea as to why there were suddenly sheep in Hill Valley, but all that wasn’t exactly very<br />

important at the moment.<br />

"Baaaaaaaaaa."<br />

"Uh... nice sheep, good sheep..."<br />

"Baaaaaaaaaa"<br />

"That's a nice sheep now... NO DON'T TOUCH THA... that's it... move away, sheep... good sheep...<br />

nice shee... AAAAAAH!"<br />

Marty felt something pull him... and the next thing he knew, he was falling through blackness. Iridescent<br />

lights started blinking about him, adding only to h<strong>is</strong> d<strong>is</strong>orientation. And still Marty kept on falling, and<br />

falling, until a growing round circle of bright light appeared in the d<strong>is</strong>tance and he fell through it, landing<br />

with a rolling thump on the floor below.<br />

"Ow."<br />

Dazed, the teen tried to lift h<strong>is</strong> head to get some idea of h<strong>is</strong> bearings. He was in a small square room<br />

that had some sort of strange black equipment humming quietly on one side of the whitewashed walls.<br />

A protrusion of sorts jutted out one end of the ceiling, and at the opposite wall was a wooden door. It<br />

was near th<strong>is</strong> door that another person lay, looking just as confused if not more so than him. Neo. He<br />

recogn<strong>is</strong>ed him from the movie.<br />

Turning h<strong>is</strong> head slightly, Marty then noticed the third person in the room: a slightly older version of<br />

himself who'd been staring at him all the while, a mixture of shock and d<strong>is</strong>belief on h<strong>is</strong> face.<br />

Something clicked into place... and somehow, Marty knew...<br />

"Frank"<br />

The guy just stared back, got slowly to h<strong>is</strong> feet, and then made a panicked dash for the door. It opened<br />

suddenly... and Frank skidded aside, colliding with the wall to avoid a coll<strong>is</strong>ion with the door.<br />

Eurasian, and aged perhaps in h<strong>is</strong> mid-thirties, the man who stepped in wore an amused smile on h<strong>is</strong><br />

face that was just short of smug. He appeared to be holding something behind h<strong>is</strong> back that none of the<br />

three in the room could see.<br />

Frank was almost hyperventilating, though he tried to hide it. "What's going on here" he croaked,<br />

unsuccessfully attempting to sound more controlled than he felt.<br />

The man grinned somewhat condescendingly at him as he shut the door. "You're really scared now,<br />

aren't you, Frank”<br />

Something told Frank that the <strong>is</strong>sue of how the man knew h<strong>is</strong> name wasn't exactly very important at the<br />

moment. He swallowed, trying to regain some form of h<strong>is</strong> composure.<br />

"Just tell me what…” – Frank took a breath – “…<strong>is</strong> going on here."<br />

Leaning casually against the door, the man surveyed the other two occupants of the room and gave<br />

another smile. "Frank, Marty, Neo... welcome. To the real world."<br />
