A few years later at class reunion, he drank too much reliving the past memories with his friends, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Similar to opening of all the horror thriller stories , after waking up, he found himself back 25 years ago, became a high school student named Eric Williams, had just graduated from high school this year, but ……

“Eric, are you okay?” A chubby hand resting on Eric’s shoulder, patted.
