------------A tap on the glass, part 1------------

It all started with that tapping noise, the horribly annoying, haunting sound of my nightmares.

This is my story, and I shall tell you how it came to be this way..

*-Midnight, October 12th 2015-*

I woke up in a cold sweat, shaken by a nightmare I was having. I was trapped in a glass box with a taloned creature looking at me as it tapped on the box. Frustrated because this was the third night in a row I've had this nightmare I decided to get up and shower before I went out, my fur was soaked in sweat so I decided to clean myself off before I started to smell bad.After my shower I decided to go out early and see what trouble I could get into. Little did I know that this decision would ruin my life, forever. As I walked down the cold avenue I heard gunshots ringing out in the dead of night. "Hm another gang killing I guess." Since nothing but doberman gangs owned the streets in this part of town, I pulled the collar up a bit on my coat and sauntered off in the cold, hoping I didn't get mud into my white fur.

*-12:30 AM, October 12th 2015-*

I entered the Seal club through the side entrance, flashing my "Club Seal" ID to the tall husky, Frank, the bartender, called out to me "Nice to see you again Josef!"

Smiling slightly I held up two fingers in the conventional "Victory" sign at him"You too Frank, hows the wife and kids?"

"Just fine,how are you? You wanna go into the back and catch up with everyone ?" He asked, rubbing out the inside of a shot glass with a napkin.

"I'm doing great, and yeah. I wouldn't mind." I said, walking around to the side of the bar and stopping in front of the door, tail swishing enthusiastically as Frank handed me the key.

"Theres a new guy, just to let you know."And he walked away, mutterind about how his wife is gonna drive him to drink someday.

*Seal Club, VIP lounge*

"Hey Jo!" Shouted Jason, a short rat, with a strange tinge of grey to his white fur, as he tackled me.

"Woah! Hey Jason" I said, hugging him tightly "Nice to see you too, wanna get off me now?" Reluctantly Jason let go and smiled up at me. "I missed you man, where have you been?"

I hugged him again "Just around, haven't been able to come by lately due to some trouble with the family, thats all."

"What kind of trouble?" He asked, nudging me playfully.

"Just the usual, parents don't want me to join the I.C.U"

Sitting down on the couch I sigh and reach for a lager, noticing the lizard in the corner from my nightmares, "Some new guy huh?" I ask, nodding my head in his direction.

"Yeah he's been looking for you is what I heard." Muttered Jason

Bewildered I went over and asked him "Hey, heard your lookin for me?" Standing up to my full height I tried to look intimidating, but my 5'11 build wasn't even close to the lizards, he stood up as well and looked down at me, at 6'9 I looked extremely short next to him.

"Yeah" He said gruffly "Why the hell are you in my dreams?"

"why don't you tell me, big guy. You're the one keeping me caged!" I snapped back, balling my fists

"Am I now?" Sneered the lizard.

"Yeah" I shoved him back into his seat and walked out "I'll catch you guys later when that THING! Isn't around anymore."

*-5:30 PM, October 13th 2015-*
