Dear Diary;
The world has stopped being something that I can stand. I can't stand going outside anymore. There's so much hate…so much pain…so much horror out there. The only escape I have now is my dreams. Every time I go to sleep, I enter a beautiful world. There are so many interesting people there, and every time I wake up I get a little more depressed.
The first time I entered my dream world, I was confused. I started out on my balcony, so I went inside. Some things had been changed around, and I felt…I don't know, but I just felt that I had to open my apartment door and go outside. It was crazy, I know, but…I did.
I found myself in a long hall with strange doors. I decided to go in the first one to my left. It was painted so it looked like a piano. I took a step in and jumped back in shock because the floor made a loud sound like a piano. I looked down and laughed because there was a good reason for that sound. Stretching out into the abyss was a wavy keyboard that seemed to be endless.
I stepped onto the keys, and as I walked along I tried to make a sort of tune play. It was so much fun, and with each step different colored notes floated into the air. I was having so much fun I didn't notice the sudden drop in the path. I screamed at first but it became a laugh. It was scary because of how steep and high it was, and how fast I was going, but it was so much fun to, and it sounded like when you do that cool thing on the piano where you go from the lowest base note to the highest treble note.
The end curved up sharply, and I was flung into space. I landed on a symbol which made a loud crashing sound before flinging me back into space. It did slow me down though. More percussion instruments slowed me down, this time a bunch of drums that echoed noisily in the darkness. They were lots of fun to.
I finally came to a full stop, in a large field of strange flowers. Each one seemed to look like an instrument or something musical. Metronome cat tails, castanet daffodils, reed flutes. It was all amazingly beautiful, especially when the wind blew causing them to softly play their gentle tunes.
I looked around and saw someone in a bright green woman's kimono with blue trim and obi sash. The green had flowery patterns embroidered in it in slightly darker green colors. I walked up to her, and she looked at me with vivid green eyes. She smiled and motioned for me to sit by her. It was then I noticed she was really a cross-dressing he! How strange.
He was picking small tambourine daisies and was weaving them into a chain. He smiled and offered the chain to me. I smiled back gladly accepting it. I stayed with him for a long time, just enjoying the world when he finally spoke. "This place is beautiful…isn't it…? But…I wonder so much what lies beyond these fields…Will you…promise to wear that chain…in every world you visit…so I may feel as if I was there to?" he asked timidly. Even his voice was feminine.
I smiled and nodded my head. I thanked him for the chain with a quick peck on the cheek which caused his entire face to become crimson. He quickly covered his face with his sleeves and ran away embarrassed. I couldn't help but laugh. I looked around more, and found an interesting plant-pitcher plant saxophones! I decided to pick one as a keep sake.
It was then I realized I had no way out of this beautiful land to fulfill my promise to the cross-dressing man. Something deep down told me to pinch me cheek, and I did. It made me wake up. I looked around, and saw I was back in my room, and the items I got from that beautiful land were gone. I cried…I was so upset. I actually cried myself back to sleep…
