Dream Stage

Hi, I'm Roya, I'm just a ordinary highschool girl with ordinary life, and here is how my story went very wrong, very fast.

I was working at my part time job at a grocery store called ValueMart on Sunday, dreading school tomorrow, I was just in my uniform and got bored while trying to make myself busy so obviously I took all the soup cans off the shelves and put them back upside down. What else can I do when bored at work? Not like they can fire me for it. All the customers nearby didn't need help.

I got through my shift and drove home but out of nowhere I got a blinding headache and nearly swerved into another car, thankfully it only lasted a few seconds but they kept happening on the drive home.

Once I got home I was planning to look up my symptoms but I didn't make it to the front door before a wave of nausea hit me, my head throbbing and everything went blurry, I clutched my head, hissing in pain, I leaned back against the railing of my porch and it went away but my body felt tingly, I shook my head and went inside and I barely got the door closed and took two steps before it started again, but worse.

My head pounded and my vision blurred and darkened at the edges, I couldn't feel my own body and everything seemed to fade away, I looked at my hands. It was like my vision was glitching, everything looked...staticy, I fell forward and everything went black before I hit the ground.

This is were everything turned weird.

I have no idea how long I was out before I woke up, but I felt..weird... Like my body was made of clouds, I light weightless yet I wasn't floating, I rubbed my head and quickly realized something wasn't right, I looked around and I was in a field stretching beyond what I could see, there was a few long white fences around, the sky was dark and cloudy with no stars.

Just the moon shining through but even the moon was off..it almost seemed smaller, yet somehow brighter? I looked farther and saw a house in the distance, I started walking twords it, what else could I do?

Everything seemed fine, even if a bit unsettling, then I felt eyes burning into the back of my head, I turned around, getting uncomfortable, and I saw a forest that wasn't there before. But the forest wasn't even the worst part, I had locked eyes with something, it looked like man but his skin was white, his eyes were like round orbs of white light, his grin was white, reaching up past his eyes, I started to back away and he stepped into the light, whatever that THING was it was NOT human.

It had the upper body of a man but instead of legs he had the body of a centipede, I couldn't see the end of it, I was horrified. It slowly opened its mouth and tilted its head to the side, it's mouth was dark inside and black liquid poured out of its mouth, it's teeth were greyish yellow needles, two rows of them with a smaller mouth inside its mouth.. it started coming after me, I ran, the faster I went the faster it went to. I didn't know where to go, the only place I could go was the house. I sprinted full speed to the house but the creature was faster and it grabbed me by the storm and threw me down on the ground, I shrieked in terror, it paused then let go and hissed, clutching it's head were ears should have been, I ran, it didn't move yet, it seemed frozen for a few seconds by loud noises, I notices my shirt was ripped across the stomach and I was covered in dirt but I didn't care.

I reached the house and don't remember what happened next, I just sort off appeared in the bedroom, it was light out now and the creature was gone, the grass was lush and full od flowers, the forest was gone now, replaced by a beach stretching as far as I could see, deer were grazinyans bunnies weee hopping happily.

I looked at the bed, it had beand new clothes and the bathroom door was open, I said "fuck it, not like this could get any weirder" and grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom, I took a shower and got changed. I explored the house and found the kitchen, taped to the fridge was a list 'apples, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, a golden flower, and tomatoes ' I read it and looked around, I went outside and saw the forest had reappeared but much more welcoming than before.

I said "I take it back. It just got weirder.." but whispered "..eh, why not, don't have anything better to do" and I went outside and started exploring, I saw golden flowers but as soon as I picked it it turned pink, I picked another, it turned blue, another, white, another, purple, I kept picking more until I finally got one that stayed good but the other flowers turned to other colors as well. I put the flower in my purse and kept looking, I soon found some tomatoes, I picked one, then another, and reached for a third but the plant was gone, I whistled and says "ok, nevermind then, two it is" and tries to remember what else was on the list, saying aloud "tomatoes, a golden flower, mushrooms, sunflower seeds .. and apples..yeah" and went into the forest.

I looked around for mushrooms while wondering where sunflowers could be and walked into a clearing, I looked around, and when I looked back in the middle a sunflower was there. I froze. Then said "what the fuck?" I stares at it for a bit then saw plastic bag had appeared in my hand, I walked up to the flower and picked a few seeds off the flower and mutered to myself "this is going to take forever..." I got another few seeds and saw the bag was full, I looked back at the flowe and the seeds were all gone, I blinked a few times and said "i stand corrected " and dropped the few in my hand into the bag and put it in my purse and went to go find the rest of the list, I found a apple tree next, a basket was next to it, I picked it up and put the apples in the basket, I walked around some more and found some mushrooms, I made my way back to the house and washed the tomatoes, mushrooms, and apples.

I made a soup with the sunflower seeds, the flower, some chicken I found in the fridge, and corn with a bit of salt in the broth, I made a apple pie with the apples. This went of for a few days and I made up some rules for myself, don't go outside at night, the creature is waiting, don't look in the mirrors, the reflection is wrong and it hurts when I look at it, don't ignore the animals, they change at night and aren't happy with me if I didn't pet or feed them when they approached.

Every day there was a list on the fridge, sometimes it was a list of chores around the house, gardening because at some point a garden appeared, and sometimes I needed to go get food if I didn't finish a list it was there the next day. But one day there was no list, the animals were gone and so was the forest, I walked out and saw a white door with gold particles floating around it, I went over to it, it was comforting, I hesitantly opened the door and stepped though...
