That night, I remembered an odd dream I experienced after falling asleep. I dreamed that I was strolling through Animal Crossing- until I came across a sign that was placed where a house had been. Reading it, it had a list of tips on how to catch bugs- it was weird. Walking on, I seen another sign. I noticed that a house had once been there, too. It read the same thing the last one did.
The entire town was covered with signs, there were no houses.
Except...
I found the river that my house was near, and you'd think that a sign replaced where it stood, too, but...it was there. My house. It was the only house I seen the entire time.
I'm not sure why, but in my dream myself had decided to go inside the house. It was dark- but visible. You would have to squint your eyes to see clearly, and whenever I did, I seen that the entire room was empty. The lamp was gone, and even the table was gone. The wallpaper and the flooring were, too, gone.
Upstairs, the bed I once had disappeared, as well. The phone, and everything else. Yet again, the flooring and the wallpaper were missing. I had no idea what was going on.
Suddenly, I heard the words of Rover echo in my mind.
Dreamer...Dreamer...
And the voice of the many animals...
Who is Rover? Who is Rover?
I heard a wood snap while I stood on the second floor of my house. I looked up, and seen the roof suddenly start caving in- and the debris already began to crush me. I could've sworn I felt the pain of it.
I woke up to the ring of the phone.
It was Tom Nook- calling to tell me I was late for work.
I was so glad he called and woke me up from that horrible nightmare...it all seemed so real.
It was unlike me to be scared by dreams, but it was just too terrifying- considering everything else that had been going on.
Even so, I got out of bed- and proceeded to go to work. I guess it was a good thing I would be out of that house for awhile. It seemed so weird to walk through Animal Crossing and see all the houses at that time- because in my dream- they were all gone. It seemed to temporarily convince me that it was normal for houses to...disappear. As if it happened occasionally, or often. I was pretty sure that things like that didn't happen...
I felt better out of the house, and working inside Nook's Cranny. It even seemed to leave my mind every now and then. I would be working there for most of the day...then...I'd have to return back home. After I talked to Bones, of course. I could actually tell him about that dream; maybe he could explain it to me.
Until then, it was a mystery.
Well, at least I posted this chapter earlier than what I thought I would... But, the only reason is that I had read all the reviews I had, and seen all the people who followed, and the people who already have this as a favorite! I'm so glad that you guys like this story. I enjoy writing it, I really do! (Even though I get lazy and take forever to make the next chapter...) Thanks :)
