I have no idea how this is happening. I have no idea about this place…

For God’s sake why do I have this feeling of being the only thing in this…this…this…Ah c’mon I don’t know what is its name. I would call this a forest fire but I don’t find any trees burning here. Who would have started these flames?

Wait. Who tied these chains to my hands? In the middle of flames chained to something I don’t know. Wonderful. The person who did all these should better start praying that I don’t happen to run into him/her anytime. I better follow these chains and see where they lead. Whoa… I’m chained to a sculpture of a fist perpendicular to the ground. I began to untie the chains from my hands. The more I tried the sculpture began to disintegrate as so the flames around me.

Finally after freeing myself from the chains. I looked around to find myself on a stranded on a plain of tall grass. Now what?

I don’t know why but as soon as I saw a pack of wolves. I took after them. I felt a sudden wave of desperation inside me. I ran after them like there was no tomorrow. I chased them for miles but I couldn’t get hold of them. They all vanished one by one.

I was again stranded but this time among a big field of black roses. I started to observe around as the blue sky above gradually turned silver.

I felt a prickling sensation on me and I soon found it has started to rain except it wasn’t water. It was shards of shattered glass. I ran around looking for cover as the sharp pieces of glass fell on me tearing my skin. Pain shot up all over my body. I even heard faint laughter from somewhere. I couldn’t take it anymore and succumbed to the ground covering my head with shards of glass planted on my back. I began to lose consciousness as the sand below started to give away…

I found myself stranded once again but in a hallway full of tables and chairs randomly placed. I began to move among them not knowing where to go and what to do. No matter how far I go every place almost seem the same. I got lost among the purple furniture.

A yellow door appeared out of nowhere suddenly. I frantically pushed around the furniture to reach it. It was floating mid-air. I stacked up the furniture to reach it. I opened the door and stepped into it. Just in time before the stack collapsed.

The door to the top of something like a mountain. Beneath was the sea splashing its waves on the foot of the mountain. It reflected the blue sky above. I hesitated but I took the leap of faith at last.

The water healed my wounds. I swam deeper and deeper but I couldn’t find the bed. I relaxed and let the current carry me to whatever place it goes. I got washed up on a beach. I recovered slowly and stood up.

I saw a green sedan parked on the road at a distance. I walked up to it. I opened the door and sat inside. I looked at the road in front of me. I didn’t feel afraid anymore. I was happy to with whatever place the road took me. I started the sedan and the engine roared to life. I hit the gas and started to move forward. I started to wonder what surprises are there in store for me as I woke up.
