This document appears to be a script for a short film. It tells the story of a teenager named Alex who is dealing with strange dreams and hallucinations. In the story, Alex's friend sends an embarrassing text to Alex's crush pretending to be him, which angers and upsets Alex. Later, Alex has disturbing visions at school of laughing faces chasing him. He sees his psychologist to discuss his increasingly vivid dreams of killing people. The script creates an unsettling atmosphere and leaves it ambiguous whether the violent events Alex experiences are real or imagined.
