I looked down and saw nothing. I looked at my arms but they weren't there. I tried to move but nothing happened. Am I dead? I feel… warmth. It's growing inside of me. What's happening? I felt something on me. It was… a tickle. Then I suddenly felt a blast of air on me. It wasn't hot, nor did it feel cold.

I could then see shapes. They were turning colors. Blue, green, brown, orange, white. There was a low rumbling sound and I looked down. I saw red and white sneakers, blue legs, a tan belly, and a black nose was almost in my vision. I looked at my hands to see tan arms and white gloves. I sniffed the air for the first time and smelt the sweet smell of spring and grass. I touched my head and felt quills. Semi prickly but somehow soft. I felt two ears and one of them flicked. I heard a whisper of wind brush through my ear. I felt my legs start to move. Left, right, left, right.

Something was happening. Soon I picked up speed. I watched the colors roll by and the wind blowing in my face. I went faster and went right for a huge loop. I closed my eyes thinking that I wasn't going to make it but when I opened my eyes, I was already past it. At least a mile past it. The colors were starting to blur and my vision started to change. Everything felt fast. I felt the speed increase and my legs were a blur.

I looked around and instantly heard a loud boom. I couldn't hear anything after that and I was rocketing through the terrain. I looked behind myself to see fire streaking where I was stepping. I lowered my head and went even faster. I saw several colored gems appear out of nowhere and I felt myself begin to lift off the ground. My fur and quills turned a vibrant gold and I went so fast, all I could see was the wind breaking in my path. I slowly had a thought in my head to name myself. Sonic the Hedgehog. It was a good name so I stuck with it. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth surround me.

When I opened them, I was in a bed. I sat up and looked out the window. I saw a few cars roll by and my parents called me down. I turned to my mirror and fixed up my light brown hair. I switched from my pajamas into daytime clothes and rushed downstairs.

"Yes, mother?" I said

"You have a few minutes before school!" She said

"Dang… well I had the craziest dream last night. I was thinking that my friends would like to hear it." I said happily

My father patted my head and said, "And remember, some thoughts could bring you pleasure. I know one of mine did."

He patted my back and walked out of the door to his car. I smiled and started sketching my dream. I felt that many people would like this for a long time!

And that is how I believe Sonic came to be. I'm not sure exactly how but I think this is what it would seem like!
