Hello once again, Dark Fortresses here. Here I have a slightly unplanned fanfic, but I think it turned out okay anyway! Enjoy!
I hate being alone. Julia said I have a thing called "monophobia". She described it as "the fear of being alone. I don't fear being alone. I just hate it. Hate and fear are two completely different words. But I feared it when I was like, 15. I thought I got rid of that fear. Then I was left alone for about three nights. It was a pretty interesting experience.
Here's how it started. Eddy (yes, we lived together when I was learning capeira) was out of town for the weekend, and I didn't know where my other friends were. Anyway, I was driving (in my car) to the port, to look at the sea at sunset. It was a beautiful view, no doubt, but I felt something was off. It didn't seem like a hobo was watching me, it seemed like something slightly darker was checking me out. I could feel it getting closer, and closer, until it knocked me out. I don't really remember much after that. All I remember seeing is black and those colorful lines that you see when you're sleeping.
When I woke up, I was surrounded by these wierd things that had bright purple eyes, white skin, and these disgusting yellow teeth that stuck out of their mouths like those prehistoric tigers that Julia keeps talking about. Yay for archaeologists. You could smell their breath from a mile away too. The world that they lived in looked like it could be in Alice in Wonderland or Planet of the Apes. I forget reading those, but I do remember those books being strange, and that was a pretty strange world. It was filled pink trees anf four "suns", if you could call them suns.
Since a large number of the albino alien's civilization was surrounding me, I decided to tey to communicate with them.
"Do you know where I am?" I asked one of them. All of them just had a confused look on their "faces". They clearly didn't know what I was saying, except for one old looking one who started walking up to me.
"So, I see you are from the human world. We've had few visitors from there come here." It told me.
"Can you tell me where I am?" I asked it.
"Ah, yes. You are in the dream world. This is a magical realm that humans go to when they're in a very deep sleep. In your case, you were knocked out. Oh, and whoever is unlucky enough to get themselves here never come out alive. Or that's what your brain thinks. Your body is still at the port. When your brain thinks that you die, you actually die in this world." It explained.
"So this is just a dream, and I can never wake up?" I asked. It nodded. "Ever?" It nodded again.
"Don't make yourself comfortable. You'll be dying in a few hours."
"I'm assuming that everybody dies differently, right?"
"Yes. Some people die quickly and they don't suffer, and some people suffer."
"Am I the only human here?"
"At the moment, yes. Oh, and I wouldn't get close to the locals of this world, they eat whoever comes here."
"Well, that makes me really optimistic." On that note, I decided to explore this strange planet of theirs and it seemed pretty nice, for the most part. But that's until I reached their cemetary. They don't really put their dead 6 feet under. They put them about 6 inches under and they leave the rest of the body sticking out. It was pretty disgusting, if you ask me. It also seemed like the local animals liked to eat the decaying flesh of the humans.
Anyway, I ran away from the alien cemetary into the pink forest. Nothing in that forest was normal. Nothing. As you already know, the forest was an odd color, and you don't know this, but there were alien animals following me when I ran through the forest. I don't think that I should describe them, because it might give you nightmares, and I'm not very good at describing things. There were pretty birds though.
I ran, and I ran, until I reached a high pillar. I thought that it was the place that they worshipped their dream gods, if they had any. So I obviously decided to go inside, who wouldn't? It was a pretty nice building, for a not very advanced civilitation. Like it didn't look like an old church in Brazil, obviously, but it did look like one of those Greek temples. I found out that it was a type of monastary. There were statues of what seemed like a god. It was a pretty ugly god, ironically it was their god of beauty, nature, and fertility. There were other statues, but none of them were as big as that beauty god. None of them were as ugly either.
Okay, this will have more than one chapter, and it'll probably end up at three or four chapters. I hope you enjoyed it.
