It was March 1st 2008; every news channel was flashing information about unknown events that have left many people in the world missing. There are no eye witnesses till date that have come forward to explain these mysterious events that strangely happened on the night on Feb. 29th, 2008. People are still talking about dreams that they call nightmares but can they be trusted by the police as there is no evidence... I being a police detective for 20 years this has been the most difficult case ever. The only survivor or evidence that many trust is Mr. James. James came forward with great detail that match many others, the only difference being that he was narrating that personal experience and how he was given another chance to live.

Mr James and his friend Frank used to steal from people, stores, and houses. They have been caught and went to jail many times. James does not even recall the amount of times they have been sentenced to the prison but, all he knows is that they were not the ideal people ever to look up to. All he recalls is that Frank is his best friend and wishes his friend to return. He still refuses to believe what he saw but wants to share the sad ending of that horrible night. Frank, as James explains has always been very greedy and aggressive. He could go to any limit for money, as money was all that he wanted. The part that the two disagreed on was that James always felt that one should return back to the community even though it was not earned the right way. He felt that there is enough for them and that they should participate in donating and sharing for good causes in disguise. Frank never agreed to the idea or the thought and James was left alone in his mission to serve even though he knew it was never his money that he gave away. The only feeling that was great was that at least he helped someone. Frank always had a policy to never rob the poor or the strugglers but to only go after the rich as he felt that they had also stolen from someone else. Well let’s just say, that James is more like the modern Robin Hood, who steals from the rich and gives it to the poor. It all started on a dark stormy night on Feb. 29th. James and Frank got a coffee and Frank was driving. Frank said, “What are you going to do tonight?” James replied, “Nothing, just sleep, I am very tired and feel that it is going rain heavily, and it might be a storm” “Ok, you do that” saying it when he dropped him off and then drove off at a high speed. For some reason even though James was very tired he could not sleep. He blamed it the coffee. He got a glass of water and aspirin so he could sleep but It took him a while to fall asleep. James says that it was at 2:00am when he fell into deeper state of sleep and had a dream in which he saw a huge mountain (dream) with gems on the peak. The mountain was very rocky and beautiful. He recalls that the sky was very red. There house on top and Red sky. The mountain was about as tall has Mount Everest. At the top for some reason it was not cold like expected. It felt like 40o C. He described it that the more higher you went the more warmer it became. Within his dream James started to hear a voice that asked him to climb. Many were climbing the mountain and one of the climbers was Frank, and he also recognized many other people that were in the dream from jail. While he was climbing there was lots of obstacles in his way like pointy rocks, long grass, and sometimes there were deathtraps. James said that it was like a video game but much worse. At the middle of the mountain there was a door and had the word short-cut engraved on it. James suddenly got excited and started shouting for Frank. James says, “Believe me he did not hear me has I was screaming at the top of my lungs like a mad man. James continued, “I realized right at the moment we were meant to talk to each other and this journey was independent. Everyone was kept climbing and the word short cut was getting closer has we were walking more closely to the door gut instinct told him not to get into the door James went around. When James went around the door he slipped on a rock which made him fall and have a falling dream. He woke up all sweaty and got huge glass of water. Then he went to the washroom because he was sweating like on a horse. He went back to bed and was thinking about the dream and suddenly he slept again. However this one the same but instead there was this loud voice that said, “You are lucky to survive and now these people who went in the door.” In this dream it was like a X-ray he could around the whole mountain and what was inside the door. It was stairs and then he saw Frank. Frank went up onto the peak. Then this house and this red thing. He said to Frank, “Now I will pay you with my gems because of your efforts. He went in the house then he was gone, there was red light that swallowed him. The red thing shouted, “Next” James watched horribly that all those people were dying but then he realized it was just dream. The next morning he called Frank and didn’t answer. Then he went to the coffee shop and get his favourite type of coffee triple, triple. When got to his house and rang the door bell nobody answered but his wife. The wife said, “Frank is not here.” The James said, “Then give the coffee to him when he gets home. The wife replied, “Thanks.” Three years past and they couldn’t find Frank. James is still searching for his friend. He still asks questions that why he didn’t die. His answers are written himself. Lot's of people thought he was bad and he actually was a good man. He told me that he learned a big lesson, He said, “Work hard as life can challenging!” The scare today is that Feb. 29th, 2012 is around the corner will the Devil Peak look for more...
