Here's another story that I wrote in school a few years back. I remember it was inspired by either a dream I had or a feeling I had when waking up in the middle of the night. It's not that I don't remember which it was, more that I was never sure.

 Awaken

 I woke up in the deepest, darkest part of the night and realised the most important thing of my life. Everything so far in my life had been a dream. Waking from my dream I found that my senses were heightened ten-fold. My head had never felt so clear, the thoughts in my mind did not circle chaotically. It was like a finished puzzle. A beautiful, intricate, geometric design. I felt content. Sadness, depression. They were both distant things of the past that were quickly beginning to forget.

And; then I heard it. It was music, the most beautiful melody that had ever existant. It was so complicated that I couldn't even begin to descibe the layers upon layers of harmonies and counter melodies. I thought to myself if I could see the music it would look exactly like the intricate shape in my mind. As that thought began to join and merge into the shape, I heard it play in the song.

I felt as if in mere moments I was both creating and destroying whole universes. Worlds that I would never be able to see and physically feel. Yet I felt... I felt one with them. I was the wind and the tree it blew through. I was sight and all there was to see. I was love, hate, the shadow and the light. I had been to the deepest part of the ocean and the furthest reaches of the galaxies. And; I was happy.

I didn't know how long I had been awake. Was it an hour or a day that had passed? I couldn't tell the difference between no time at all or a million years. I couldn't stay awake any longer and I decided to rest my head back down. Somehow I inately knew I couldn't stay.

I had to leave the only real thing I had ever known and go back to my so called life. The land of dreams. Non one will believe where I had been even if I could effectively describe it. And honesty, why should they? Would you want to believe that all of this, in its so called "majesty", was only some kind of joke? Not even practice, but some kind of game to entertain someone else.
