Eight O'Clock in the Morning

"At the end of the show the hypnotist told his subjects, “Awake.”

Something unusual happened."

In the short story that inspired the classic 1988 movie They Live, George "wakes up" to find that there is a great secret being kept from the world... and he's the only human to have found out the truth.
