Chapter 27 - A second perspective
However, my jelly boyfriend wasn't the only one with an insane dream. As I finally descended into the unconscious dream, I felt as if I was laying in a grass field. I looked around the beautiful green landscape, leaning down to look at some flowers. As I began walking through the field, I began to notice something about the flowers. They gradually turned hues from yellows and whites to deep pink. Like my jelly boyfriend.
I picked up one of the flowers, bringing it close to my eye for closer inspection. It was at this point where an eyeball appeared in the middle of the flower, staring at me as I was staring at it. I freaked out a little bit, tossing the flower into the field, hopefully never having to see it ever again. Unfortunately, I did see the flower again. A lot of them, in fact.
They began to surround me, eventually combining into my jelly boyfriend in front of me. I tried talking to him, but he didn't seem talkative at all. Instead, he pointed towards the sky with an entirely blank look on his face. Suddenly, I felt that I was launched off of the ground into the sky. Higher and higher I went, with seemingly no end. Faster and faster and faster I flew, going into space and passing the moon, the planets, and finally landing on the sun.
For some really odd reason, I could walk around on the sun, even if it was the hottest thing in the solar system. When I touched down onto it's orange surface, I saw a desk in front of me. It wasn't like a computer desk, but it was rather like those old wooden ones you see in paintings. I walked over to it, and opened one of the drawers. Bad. Idea.
Inside the drawer, I saw the abyss. Nothing but black. It was a hole that reached down forever and ever. As I leaned into the drawer, trying to get a good look to see if anything was in there, I learned something many people say about abysses. Once you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Then, I lost my footing on the surface of the sun, falling into the desk drawer.
After about 10 minutes of continuous falling, I eventually hit a floor. I crawled around on all fours, because I couldn't see the floor, or the walls, or anything else for that matter. Then, in the distance, I saw it. A light switch. I got up on my two feet and ran towards it, flipping it as it and myself closed the distance between us.
A lightbulb appeared about 5 feet away from me, shining brightly in the sea of darkness. The figure standing under it definitely grabbed my attention. It was a tall, white, human-like bunny. Her ears drooped down to the waist, forming points at the ends. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress. She wasn't talking, but I could hear her loud and clear. Mark... What a nice name.
I slowly tiptoed my way towards her, struggling to say anything. She kept thinking. You're very interesting... In love with something that isn't real... Upon hearing this, I became enraged. I grabbed her by the upper arms. "TAKE IT BACK!", I yelled with all the power I had. I heard her think towards me yet again. I... I'm sorry... Listen, there's not much time... I looked around myself, watching as the ground began breaking apart.
She began fading away from existence, gradually red-shifting into the air. I heard her last thought towards me: My children have... She eventually faded away entirely. I slumped down on my knees on the last piece of ground that I was standing on. Waiting for it to be over. When the ground finally broke apart, I woke in my bed.
I laid in my covers for about 40 seconds, just wondering why my mind would present such an insane trip. What was it trying to prove to me? Was it trying to prove anything to me? I could hear the birds chirping shortly outside of my window. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing a gentle breeze, and the grass seemed greener than I've ever seen it before. Time to get up, I told myself.
