A teenager stands in darkness, on a grey, stone path to a massive, brilliant white door. Walking toward it, he sees the most beautiful girl in his life. She had brown hair, and dark eyes to match, and she looked like she had been crying, reaching for her through the door, she turned her back on him, the massive door started to close on him, he quickly pulled his arm out and tried to stop the door. Using all of his strength, he pulled on the door, but slowly but surely the door closed with the girl behind it.
Suddenly feeling light as air, he started to fall through the stone floor and into darkness, but felt a soft landing and a brilliant beam of light shot onto his eyes, with the darkness fleeing. He woke up covered in sweat, and looked around; he was still in his room. He had been having the same dream for the past week, and he couldn't understand what it meant. Throwing off his sheets, he grabbed a towel hanging from the door, and wandered into the bathroom for a shower.
"Why do I keep on having this dream? Who was that girl?" He thought to himself as he showered, he returned to his room, dried off and dressed himself in a white shirt with a black vest, and a pair of baggy khaki pants. Wandering down the flight of stairs, he came into the kitchen, and opened a shelf, and grabbed himself a box of cereal.
Hearing a familiar jingle, he looked around for his cell phone, looking to see who it was, he answered, "let me guess. You just got showered and grabbed some cereal." It was a female voice on the other end; "You know me better than anyone." He said back to her, "I know. So Zashi, what are we going to do today?" Looking out the window, he said, "how about we go to the beach? That's something that we haven't done in a while…" There was a silence for a moment, and then her voice came back, "Sure. The beach sounds good."
Zashi hung up the phone and went back to his cereal, grabbing a bowl from another shelf, and pouring the cereal and eating. Finishing off the bowl, he got up from the table, putting the bowl into the sink, and grabbed a pair of shoes, laced them up and walked out the door; fortunately, his house was close to the beach, he wandered down the concrete path, and after about five minutes, he found the massive ocean, and looking to the horizon, where the sky and ocean met, looked like it could go on forever. "Hey Zashi!" a girl called to him, he turned around to see a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a pink shirt with a pair of short shorts. "Are going to walk around today, or just look at the ocean?" Zashi shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Its up to you Iris, we can do whatever you want."
Sitting on the bench, something triggered Zashi's memory, and he turned to Iris and said, "do you remember…" his voice trailed off, for the live of him he couldn't remember her name, "remember who?" Iris interrupted his thought, he put a hand to his forehead and said, "I can't remember… Ha. Must not have been important." Laughing it off gazing at the ocean he let his thoughts drift back to the dream he had been having… "No…It is important. I can't remember who she is…maybe I can find her…" Zashi told himself as he got up from the bench, Iris looked at him and said, "Where are you going?" He looked at her and said, "I'm just going to go get a soda." Zashi started to walk down a concrete path again, however something seemed different this time. The beach was almost empty, and a cold breeze came from the ocean, picking up his pace, he hurried to the drink stand, only to find no one there. Looking around, he walked around the small cart, and off in the distance he saw that triggered more of this memory: a pair of yellow eyes morphing from the ground.
