Awake

Awake is a forum adventure by Archduke_Ferdinand. It follows the protagonist, Samuel, as he is directed by unknown entities to "escape the end".
==Plot==
At the onset of the adventure, Samuel wakes up after strange red words appear to him in his sleep, which instruct him to awaken and insinuate some type of urgency. He attempts to go about normal day-to-day activities, but is unsettled by red text or arrows appearing briefly over various objects, such as "poison" appearing over all the food items in the house.
Unnerved by this and unable to find his car keys, he flees his house on foot, having more hallucinatory experiences along the way. He is retrieved by his sister, and is followed by an incorporeal man surrounded in red haze whose presence is not acknowledged by anyone else.
Eventually, he is knocked unconscious at an abandoned gas station and has a brief discussion with an entity who initially speaks in red words. Afterwards, Samuel wakes in an unknown location with two doors, one of which is filled with differently-colored floating "vines" that cause Samuel to hear voices when he touches them.
Exploring this area, he encounters an orange man who claims to have gone through nearly identical experiences prior to his arrival.
