Note: This is…well, you'll have to see and find out. If anything, it should interest you at least a little. Everything may or may not become apparent later but this is my first try at something a bit different. I found this in a dream, words and all and I woke up to type it as fast as possible. Of course, I don't remember the whole dream but I'm sure I can make something up. Also, I apologize for the shortness but it can't be helped and you'll see why. Lastly, I hope you enjoy it.

I am getting far too old for this. I do not know how or why it happened but I will try to explain this to the best of my abilities now that it's all over. We were at a hotel. There wasn't anything particularly special about it that I can remember. The walls were painted a cheery yellow, perhaps to give it a look of coziness. We had decided to share a hotel room and split the cost. Most of the hotels were far more expensive than this one, not that this one isn't expensive enough as it is. It was late and already dark. We were exhausted but Gokuu had insisted on dinner. I had agreed. Dinner had been salmon with a hint of lemon, very nicely done. There was even a sprig of parsley for effect. I can't really remember the taste of it now but I think that's what I tried to concentrate on later on. But I digress. It's best to go about this in a chronological order for both my sanity and…. I don't know whose sake, and I doubt anyone would care.
Where was I? Dinner. After dinner, we went to our room. Gokuu had wanted the bed by the window. I can't remember the view but I do remember the sheer drop it was. We were on the higher floors. I later thought about it as one of my worst mistakes. However, then I was more concerned with going to sleep than anything else. Not that it was in any way surprising. I put my laptop within reaching distance and went to bed. I do not know if I had dreamed but what would happen later would be worse than any nightmare. It was about one in the morning when I heard Gokuu whimpering. I had cracked my eyes open wide enough open to see Konzen getting up. He was more tired than I, so I got up to help.
"That kid…" he slurred. I could tell he was more than half asleep. "He just needs someone to be next to him. Idiot can't sleep without feeling a body next to him, just give him a bunch of pillows…" he had gone back to sleep after saying that.
I went to Gokuu's bed. I didn't have the heart to leave him there with pillows and right now, I'm very happy I had stayed with him. It may have saved my life and his.
I will continue tomorrow. It seems I have an appointment to keep and maybe the time will allow me to organize my thoughts more and try to remember what had actually happened. I dwell on it often but it is rather on accusations and feeling of terror and, of course, the question "why?" that I focus on. I must really be going.
