The forgotten world
“Welcome to the world of fantasy. In this place are many adventures just awaiting for your entertainment. Go on and step into the ride of your life.” a creepy man says pointing to an empty field.
I hesitate for a second and decide to check it out. I don’t see anything at first. I’m getting a bit confused. If this is supposed to be a carnival or fair. Then where is everything? I don’t see any rides or stands. So, i decide to walk a little bit further. I turn around to check the gate but the gate isn’t there.
All I see there now is the field. I look all around and I see nothing but the field. Just grass, no trees, no building and small patches of flowers each patch with a small trail that leads to the flowers. I turn around again and a road appears to connect to them all.
Is this an illusion or am I just dreaming? If I am dreaming, does that mean I never left home this morning? Did I just dream of that creepy guy standing in front of a gate that leads to this field? When will I wake up, or will I never wake up. I walk along the path for a minute thinking about these questions I have. After some thinking I turn to a random path that leads to a patch of flowers.
I get closer to the flowers.as i approach the flowers they start to glow. As if the sun was raining its light only on the flowers. Everything around me starts to go dark and fades to almost nothing. Above the flowers I see light forming a circle with an image in it. Can’t really tell what the image is. I decide to back away from it. Everything that faded comes back. The road, the field and the many paths to these flowers. It all comes back like it never disappeared. I wonder to myself what happened just now. Why did everything get dark? Could each flower patch be like a portal to a new world?
I raise my hand and look at it still lost in these thoughts. I start to close my hand to form a fist. Then some kind of screen appears above my hand. At the top of the screen it says ‘welcome to the forgotten world. Where all dreams lie. Enter one’s fantasy and have yourself a fun adventure. Stay as long as you want. If you want to leave. All you have to do is go into the settings of this magical terminal and hit logout. As a warning though. If you leave you can never come back to the forgotten world. And all memories of this place will vanish from your mind.’
I return to the flowers and the portal appears once again. I walk into the portal and everything around me changes into a whole new place, a new world. There’s a castle in the distance and what looks to be pixies and fairies flying around a lake. Instead of me being in an open field I am now in a forest.
A display shows up in front of me saying ’use the terminal to guide you between the worlds and to navigate through each world. The name of each world will show up at the top of the display.’ The terminal says I am in the fantasy world lobby. Where I choose from many different fantasy worlds. I ask myself what would happen if I died in one of these worlds. The terminal lights up and says ‘death is not permanent is the forgotten world. You can live here as long as you want to. Go to the castle of fantasies to start your adventure. The castle will allow you to choose a world you want to visit. Go now and have fun.’ I head to the castle to start my first adventure. Being this excited is a feeling I have never felt before. With my excitement through the roof I start my journey. What adventures will I find? How long will I stay?
