dreams

i woke up groggily, my head spinning like hell and my eyes blurred by dazzling white lights. it was early in the morning, but the sun was already in its glorious state, shining very brightly, making it impossible to fall back to sleep.

yawning, i got up from bed and check my phone. right, today is Sunday! :) however, the smile faded quickly from my face when a troubling thought crossed my mind. homeworks! lots and lots of homeworks piling up, waiting to be finished. ugh, i groaned and burried my face in the pillow. great way to ruin my perfect sunday teachers. all i want was just to spend the day away, reading my favourite novel, that simple. why is life so unfair?

suddenly, an excruciating pain stabbed through my head. the world started to spin. i helplessly clutch my head, with hopes that the pain would fade away, but it didn't. after what seemed like an eternity, it stopped.

everything went dark. pitch black.

"where am i?" a timid little voice spoke in my mind.
i looked around, my eyes wandering, hoping to find at least one familiar thing. everything seemed weird and fuzzy. it was too bright. everything seemed so vivid, but hazy at the same time. my brain tried to put all these pieces together. where am i? what am i seeing? what just happened?

then it appeared. just like that. a small pink chair and coffee table, with a sweet pink bouquet in the middle. burning with curiosity, i approached the furniture, my hand reaching out, touching the edge of the chair. 

well, it's definitely a chair. nothing happened, i didn't get suck in or anything. hesitantly, i touched the table, feeling its hard, cool surface. everything seemed normal. but what is this? what is this place? whaa... WHOAAAAAAA!

i was pulled by some kind of gravitational force, and the next thing i know is i'm sitting on that chair, my sloppy pyjamas was replaced by a floral dress.

then, my favorite book appeared in my lap. its page opening by itself, inviting me to read it.

this was like a dream come true.

turning the pages, i started to read, read and read. i pinched myself, am i dreaming? no, all these seemed so real. 

then a cup of tea appeared before me. well i was thirsty. this must be a magic place. everything i wanted, i get. 

i greedily drank the tea. well, it might be poisonous but i drank it anyway. thank God, i'm still alive, and the tea tasted like the elixir of pure goodness.

aahh this was too good to be true. wait. is this true?

can i still go home? and how, exactly? i must be dreaming. oh no, what if i was cast under some kind of dreadful spell and i'll be stuck in here forever. nooo, even though my life is not perfect, i wanna go home. i'll miss mom and dad and...


that pain. is killing me. i started to let out breathless whimperings. i want this pain to stop. please. stop.

the pain stopped.

i was back in my room again.

i instinctively looked out of the window. outside was our backyard. yes! i was definitely home. except. the sky was dark.

i glanced at my clock. oh no, it's already 11 p.m. 

"glen, it's very late, why are you still up? are you doing your homework?" my door opened with a creak and there mom stood, glaring at me.

i gulped. right, homework. 


oooh gosh. i am in so. much. trouble.

p.s. i used tripod to take the pictures, so please mind the bad quality ;)
