Preface
The world is spinning. Colors blurring into a rare shade of grey. My favorite one. I've had this dream so many times I can describe every single detail. I'm falling down a well. I think. Most wells don't have bright colors on the walls. Either way, I'm falling and I never reach the bottom. That's it. Pretty boring, huh? Well I've had it since I can remember.
I think of waking up but I'm supposed to go to the first day of 8th grade in the morning. Might as well sleep while I can. As the colors spin I try to make out some pictures. There's a sitting bunny with a pink head, blue body and a green front foot. A glimpse of an orange woman with a bun high on her head and a big bird nose. Curly hairs loose around her face. A fast swirling hurricane of purples and reds. As I look down I think I'll see the spinning world of my current sub-consciousness. Instead I see a black darker than the dress I'm wearing reach up with fringe fingers swallow my world with one gasp. I gently stop moving and lay down in the void. It's not white or any color at all. It's just an endless nothing.
I open my eyes to hear the blasting beeping of my alarm. My mom's arm comes into view as it swings down to hit the off button.
"Wake up." my still blurry-eyed mother says. She quickly turns around and storms out of my room, the back of her almost-too-short robe flying behind her. Showing off that she slept in silk aquamarine underwear.
That didn't matter to me at the moment. It feels almost third-person saying "That was different."
