    I just wanted to share this dream of mine in a story form of some sort, so I apologize if my writing skillz suck. I don't do this often. I'll tell the story by what happened in this dream of mine.





    At first, everything seemed normal. I was at home in the living room, sitting on the couch as always, with my laptop, and friends of my parents were coming over to our home for some reason. I didn't mind this because our home was usually quite since we live out in the country. I went back to staring at my laptop screen, until there was a knock on the front door. Being the polite, innocent person I am, I quickly got up to get it, and behind the door was this girl my stepdad had been cheating with. I didn't know why she was here, what with the whole incident of my mother walking in on my dad in a dark room, only to find mystep dad and that girl trying to hide behind a case on some corner. The girl behind the door just smiled and said "Hello Hector". Her husband was waiting behind her, so I let them in. The moment I had set my eyes on her, I felt a deep sense of hatred towards her. I mean, I was mad at my stepdad, too, for the things he had done, but to have her here? I got back to my lovely couch and got back on my laptop. I didn't get why everybody was partying and having a good time, what with their laughter. I hated it. And her, that girl.

    But anyway, after a few minutes, my mom called for me and asked if I could get a sponge from the bathroom. So, being the nice, innocent person I am, I immidiately dashed off to get the sponge. As soon as I walked in the bathroom, the light was on, but it was not normal. It was a red light instead of a white one. The bathroom seemed smaller and it was dirty. I looked in the mirror and realized I seemed dirty. I felt like taking a shower, but not with a dirty tub. Being angry with this scene, I decided to open the door and tell my mom to come see what was going on. I wanted to ask her who had done this, but once I opened the door, I wasn't at home anymore. What was in front of me was different. It was a small room, and my mom and her sister were both sitting by a dirty wall minding their own business. They were working on folding clothes, so I didn't want to disturb them. I then went to the front door to head outside, and before me was a long hallway, and along the hallway were other doors that, I think, led to other quarters with people inside them. I had tried to open one, but something told me I couldn't open it. We must've been on the third floor, judging by how up we were. I don't know how to explain this, but there was a bar in front of our door, on the other side of the hallway, so as to not fall over to the bottom. Well, I headed towards the bar, and looked leaned forward to see what was under us. As I was leaning, I imagined what it would be like if I dropped, and then my mind started telling me that I wanted to drop to find out, and so, without meaning to, I fell.

    I have seen to have luckily achieved landing a soft landing. I was on top of a bed, and it was moving on a conveyor belt, along with other items. Around me, nothing seemed different, other then that the hotel seemed ten times bigger, what with the conveyor belt heading out in different directions. You know the moving staircases in the Harry Potter movies? Like that, except with conveyor belts. I noticed there were some things on the floor, like a lamp and a fancy couch. Why would that be there? Well, my mind became filled with curiosity and soon I wanted to venture and find out what was going on cause, you know, this didn't seem like your normal hotel.

    I decided to let the conveyor belt take me to wherever it was taking me. It was going slow, and we were not too far from where I had first landed from the third floor, so I just ran up a few floors on my own. It's crazy seeing how busy this place was. After getting higher and higher, I looked to my right, and saw an open door, and inside the room there was a green table. I wanted to reach that door to see what was inside, but then a floating stone head popped out of nowhere on top of the table, and started floating. I guess it shocked me and had me scared, cause, you know, floating head and all. I don't know what happened next, but I was back at the bottom on the conveyor belt, letting it take me whereever it wanted. I decided to get up and walk a bit, until I saw the oddest people. There was a young girl, you might say she was a goth, what with her clothing. She was wearing what looked like an old black dress, and she was pale. I noticed she had two black knives on both of her hands. She was running from a fat man with no shirt and only pants. He was chasing her with knives in each hand, too. He was slashing those things everywhere, wanting to kill her. The goth girl was mad at him for some reason, and she was accusing him of something, and judging by how childish and angry the fat man looked, I'd say he was innocent. So, being the nice, innocent person I am, I decided to stop the their fight. I got up, and ran up in front of the fat man. He was focusing on the goth girl, but he stopped when I got in front of him. He was shouting at the goth girl as she was running and accusing him more. "Hey, look at me and calm down" I told him. He looked down and frowned. I guess he was tired of chasing her, so I brought a chair and put it in front of the fancy couch and the lamp.

    I sat down on the couch and told him to have a seat on the chair. I asked why he was chasing her, and he told me she was annoying. I guess they both had some kind of history, so I told him to get up, and we'd both walk to try and find her. To be honest, I was worried about him. His body wasn't in good state and he had some marks on his belly. I am feeler towards people, so I quickly felt bad for him and asked if he'd like to be my friend. His face went bright and he smiled. He said he would love to be my friend, and I said the same to him. I hugged him, and noticed he had dropped one of his knives. I went to get it, and handed it over to him. So, I asked him if he'd like to search the goth girl with me, and he agreed. We started to walk together on the conveyor belt. My plan was mostly to have him accompany me, since I wanted someone to come with me to that room with the floating head. I felt a bit guilty, so I told him about it, and he didn't mind that I had him with me. So, we got on the conveyor belt, and we were moving alongside the wall. We went up, and started going straight again. At first there was just a wall to our side, but as we went forward, the wall changed, and we came across wooden bars. There was a wooden door, so we went inside to see what was behind the wooden bars.

    The room was clean, and the only thing inside was a piano to the far right. It was made out of wood, and behind it, towards the left, there was an open doorway, which was emitting a bright blinding light. "Don't go towards the light" I thought sarcastically to myself in a joking matter. As I walked around, inside, the fat man walked in behind me. He had a childish personality, so that's why I felt like having him as a friend, as a way to protect him and so that he could have a friend. Anyway, as I was looking around, he came close towards the piano, when suddenly I looked towards the door on the wooden bars, and the goth girl was back, shouting at the fat man with bloody accusations. "Oh no" I thought. As she was shouting at him, she began to throw knives at him. I shouted at her, telling her to stop throwing the knives and to stop throwing accusations at him. I looked at the fat man, and he started to move towards the goth girl, and I put my hand in front of him, telling him to stop at once. I didn't want them to kill eachother off. He had stopped, but then he turned his head behind his shoulder, and said with an angry face "Adeleen". What I got from this was that he had gotten some kind of order from a girl I could no see. Judging from where he had looked, which was by the piano, I'd say this room was of a deceased girl who played piano. I don't know about that bright door though.

    The fat man took out his knives, 2 on one hand and on the other, and threw a knive at the goth girl. He had missed, and she was still shouting accusations and throwing knives at the him. I shouted at him to stop and to try to reason, but he wasn't the same. I noticed his face had change. He had grown a full beard and hair (he was bald before). The goth girl dropped on the floor and kept throwing the knives. As I was shouting at the fat man, he threw a knife, which bounced off the floor, and hit the goth girl straight in the face. I was shocked and felt sorry for her. One, I found her pretty and interesting. I felt as if it was a waste to have her go. "You're going now" he said towards the dead body of the goth girl. Her body was still on the floor, keeping the same posture she had while throwing the knives. Still shocked by what had just happened, I turned towards the fat man, and he said that it was my turn to go too. He backed me up towards the wall, and I was whimpering at this point. He had been nice before, but now his whole personality had changed, not to mention his face. I was backed to the wall at this point, and he said "You'e going to go now too." He threw the knife and I closed my eyes. I thought it was going to hit my face, or at least my chest. At first I thought he had gotten his personality back and he had missed me, but then I looked at my legs, and saw that he had aimed towards my left leg instead. Suddenly, a quick stab of pain ran towards my body from my leg. I could feel the unimaginable pain, almost as if it was real. "Just kidding" he told me with a smile on his face, but still keeping that furious look on his eyes. Im telling you, the pain that ran through my body felt as it was the real deal. It was so real. It felt as if this was really happening, so I wished it was all a dream.




    I woke up from the dream, and realized I was crouching and holding my left leg. My face was screwy from the pain, and the pain went away after 5 seconds.

    If you took the time to read that, Im glad. You are a nice person.

    Im thinking about adding sketches of what it seemed like, just cause I feel like it.

    This was a pretty interesting read, especially since this was a dream, not just something you came up with. It has a very... weird feel to it, but I'd like to see those sketches if you ever do get around to them.
