Insane

I created this simple idea when I was 13. I didn't go into depth. It's a simple idea and at the same time kind of interesting. So much can happen, have fun!

Insane- 
 You are living a wonderful life. Yes you have the standard problems, friends, crushes, your sibling is a jerk. But for you it's perfect. You have it all. 
 One rainy day, you are walking to school, you listen as the rain falls around you, you feel it on your skin... Wait. No you don't. You stick your hand out, it's dry. But you can see rain, you can hear it. How? You ask yourself, why? 
 The rest of the day weird things happen, seeing things that aren't there. Feeling things that aren't seen. 
 That night you crawl in bed, your bed, the place you always felt so safe but now you don't. It's not your bed. This isn't home. This is... Not real. 
 As your mind starts to process this the world around you starts to fall apart. Your room melts away into nothing. The bed you were once sitting upon turns into dark cold ground. Finally you are just sitting there in complete darkness, scared, cold and alone. 
 You hear a familiar voice calling out to you, they say your name so sweetly. You try to pinpoint the direction of the noise and see a light far off. You run towards it because good things come from light. At least that's what your mom told you, was she even real? 
 Once at the light you are confronted with yourself. But there's something wrong. There's something off. You look closer as yourself starts to speak ever so sweetly, contorting it's body as it moves. Every time you blink you notice something, something crazy. It makes you feel insane. But it's not you who's insane. It's your other self. You have just met the insane part of you. 
 It speaks again, "ah I see you've broken free again."
"Where are we? Who are you?" You say stepping back. Unsure of everything. 
"We, my dear, are trapped in our mind! Such a wonderful place to be! I'm you. And you are me. But you guessed it right, I'm what they call craaaazy! And you are... Sane. So sane. And yet sooo weak" 
"Weak?" 
"You couldn't fight me. You couldn't win. I won this mind. It's mine to have and hold. This body's mine. This is mine. You are mine. You live in the back of our mind in your fantasy world! So really who's the insane one? I'm more in touch with reality than you are! Ha! They call me crazy...." 
 It all starts to make sense. The thought of what has been starts to terrify you. You can't breathe. You can't see. You can't be. You close your eyes and hope it all goes away. 
 When you open them again you are walking to school in the rain, this time you can feel on your skin. This time you don't believe it's there. 
 Now you must figure out how to beat the insane part of you. This time you must win. 
 Make this real!
