No World of Mine

 
 
Jacob is abruptly awoken from his sleep. Since it's the weekend, he sleeps like a rock. He wakes up in the late afternoon, as dusk settles in. The house is quiet—too quiet. His mom and dad are nowhere to be found.

Despite it being the weekend, Jacob starts doing chores like he usually does. It’s crazy, but Jacob is a good son—he does them anyway.

After finishing the tasks, he hears a loud machine-like growling or beeping. Curious and slightly uneasy, he heads down into the cellar. There, he stumbles upon a different world.

It looks just like his own—kind of like something out of Stranger Things—but this world feels... less strange.

Suddenly, Jacob experiences a burst of static vision—blurry, flickering images flooding his mind. The visions come from worker bots deep within this mirrored world. They need help. They're finishing the construction of this duplicate reality, copying Jacob’s world piece by piece.

Somehow, everything Jacob accomplishes in the real world also happens in this alternate one. Every task he completes, every routine he follows—it’s like a blueprint for the bots, guiding them in rebuilding a second version of his life.

But then, something goes terribly wrong.

The radar built by the worker bots, which was meant to receive data from Jacob’s world, suddenly changes. It’s as if it's been hacked. A dark force takes control, and the radar begins to emit an immense beam of energy. It starts draining the power from the worker bots—leaving them lifeless—and even worse, it's now siphoning energy directly from the real world. If Jacob doesn’t disable the radar soon, his world—his real world—will die.
