The Crack in the Ceiling Short: N's Dream
I opened my eyes. There was a foggy mist all around me. The room was a pasty white. Spinning around her silhouette came into focus. Her soft hair rippled out from behind her as she stepped closer and closer to me.
"N." She whispered. Over and over again, oh how I love how you say my name.
"Yes Touko?" I said stepping over to her.
"N."
"Yes?" We were 5 inches apart. Yes I was counting.
"N, I need to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"I-I remember."
"Remember what?"
"I remember everything. N, I know you would understand the most out of everyone. I have to leave here and find my family. I can't keep on living a lie. Its not who I am."
"Touko…"
"N?"
"Yes."
"I love you. Good bye." And just like that she disappeared into the mist again. I couldn't see her soft brown hair every day. I couldn't run my fingers through it when she was asleep. It had been only ten seconds and it felt like days…
"Mmmm." I stretched over reaching for my pillow. That was the worst dream ever. Grabbing something more round than pillowly it rustled along with the sheets next to me. Flinching backward she suddenly came out of the sheets.
"Mmmm? Already? But N sweet heart we just did that last night, aren't you tired?"
"WHAT?"
"Huh? What's wrong sweetie? To shaken up? Let Touko come over there and fix that." Reaching over to my face she began to slide her lips on to mind. Just before I pulled away.
"No."
"WHAT? HOW COULD YOU NOT DESIRE ME? ME? YOU'LL PAY. YOU'LL PAY." Her mouth began to open first. Then her lips began to shrewd apart from one another. A slimy grayish green looking thing began to slither it's way out of her mouth. Or what used to be her mouth. Red huge eyes bulged out of the grey flesh. Spewing a bright purple liquid, the room suddenly began to smell horrible.
Looking away, I couldn't take the horror of Touko's sweet body being distorted into that thing. The thing… looking back the monster had fully come out of Touko. Touko. Looking down at what used to be her. All that was left was a small rotting piece of bloody flesh.
"Oh, N. Come on sweetie you know you want some. You did last night…."
"HOLY MOTHER OF GHETSIS!" I couldn't take it. I sprang up sitting up right. The room was a soft purple color, everything was soft purple. The walls, the bed, the dresser, the rug, and the ceiling. Glancing around hastily, no creepy grey monsters or pasty mists only soft purple.
Though something caught my eye. Her soft mousy brown hair. Still brushed and dressed as though we still had a whole day ahead of us. That was my Touko. She sat cross-legged with her creamy back to the bed. Her attractive arms folded together as she slept soundly. I couldn't take the cuteness; I mean I just had to take a picture.
Slipping silently out of the bed, she turned tilting her head to the right. Such a lovely profile! Bending down to her face, she looked so innocent sleeping so soundly. I shouldn't hold back my smile any longer.
Pulling out my camera, I snapped some photos of her beautiful face. Reaching out, I hesitated but in the end my arms won. I lifted her into the bed; her body was so light and relax. When I stood up with her in my arms, she stirred and rolled into my chest! Oh mother of Ghetsis!
Slipping her under the covers, I took advantage of the situation and acted… bending sown to her perfect face I kissed her on the lips. Her perfectly pink lips that made her look like a million dollars. Standing up, I tiptoed across the room. Turning off the light, she stirred but only to turn over. Slipping the door shut, our date finally came to an end.
