  No one should die in the dreamscape 
  Lancelot Alexander Jnr was at the crossroads of being awake and falling asleep as his partner in his stage magic act Dreams and Nightmares, Zac was about to put him into the zigzag man apparatus during an evening performance. 
  "Hey, sleepy head wakes up," said Zac sensing Lance was tired. 
  "I'm so tired," Lance said, "I'll try to stay awake." 
  "I don't want to hurt you," said Zac. 
  "I don't want to be hurt either," said Lance climbing into the box. 
  The moment he went into the box he fell asleep mentally. 
  He awoke screaming when Zac inserted the first blade. 
  It startled and worried Zac. 
  "Bring the curtains down," Zac shouted and the curtains fell. 
  One stage ran a gaggle of backstage staff. 
  "Are you alright, Jnr?" asked Zac. 
  "I'm fine, I just had a vision,'' said Lance. 
  "Oh what did you see?" asked Zac. 
  A man with 3 eyes killing a woman in a dreamlike place," said Lance looking traumatized as he was being released from the stage trick by stagehands. 
  "Tell the audience the show is over, Kel," Zac told the stage manager. 
  "Ok," said the stage manager sensing a problem. 
  "Come with me, Jnr," said Zac making a wormhole appear in front of them they stepped into it.
