5/1/22 Dreamland

 Dreamland

What if there was a portal that could take us to a dreamland? A place where we were completely in control of every little thing that happened around us. It would be the perfect place, free of stress, free of fear. It would be a place to live how we wanted, a perfect fantasy, that would play out however we wanted.

Dreams are as close as we come to this place, but they are so unpredictable. A select few are able to control their dreams, but for the rest of us, we are at the will of our minds when it comes to dreaming. Maybe the dream will be good, maybe the dream will be bad. Maybe it would be what we want to dream about, or maybe it would be something totally different.

A personal dreamland would solve all these problems. It would take us out of the harshness of reality and to the world of our desires. The world would not be fixed but could be ever changing; one day completely different from the next depending on what we want that day.

But how long would we stay in this dreamland? Would time pass in the real world while we were there? Would we even remember the real world? If we were sucked into fantasy, would we ever come back? Would we worry about those we have left behind? 

If time would stop while we were in the dreamland, they wouldn’t even notice we were gone. We could live a whole lifetime and they wouldn’t even know. If time were to move however, we could miss our whole lives. But would it be worth it; living in a perfect world for the rest of our life, not having to worry about anything?

I think time would have to stop while we were in the dreamland or else, our bodies would age and we wouldn’t notice. We would not eat or drink and could end up dying in the dreamland without even realizing why.

With time stopped while we were gone, we could stay in the dreamland forever, with not a care in the world. Would we grow bored? Would we live out all our fantasies and then grow tired of being in control? Would we crave some mystery of what comes next in the real world? The dreamland could always be a temporary escape, a place to play around for a while before returning to the real world.

Sadly, nothing like this can or will ever exist on this earth. It is too perfect to be true. So for now, we dreamers, will continue to live out these adventures in the uncertainty of our normal dreams.


The End

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
