A World Not My Own

Into this world, I entered quietly. From my home, I have been lost. My memories undone and wings taken. The night is my friend for it brings back a glimpse of my past life when I close my eyes. Flashes of memories, whispers of voices, gentle tunes like a long-lost lullaby. Flashes of creatures as beautiful as light itself, robes flowing gently behind them, their welcoming smiles and open arms embracing me. The warmth unexplainable. The freedom, unlimited. The feeling of eternal happiness, the feeling of love was unconditional. As I opened my eyes and realized it was just a dream, tears immediately filled my eyes. What was this place? Why was I there? Why do I have these dreams night after night? What do they mean? As I dozed off back to sleep another memory-like dream appeared. Blurry and vague but enough to reveal where I came from and who I truly am. A kingdom, glittering in gold and silver, sapphires, jewels, and emeralds. No mind could fathom its beauty. Flashes of a room as beautiful as it was on the outside, and in it, was the King and Queen. The approached me and held me in their arms. Flashes of a crown being placed on my head and tears welling up in my eyes. An unexplainable feeling surged through me when I was with them. I felt safe and secure but most of all, I felt unconditional and unfathomable love. They gave me all that I asked. Rooms and rooms were filled with all kinds of toys and treats, silver and gold. Hosts of beautiful creatures coming to my service and tending to my every need. No hint of greed filled my heart no matter how much I was rewarded. This place was perfect beyond your wildest dreams. I wondered what these dreams meant and after thinking long and hard, after fighting all the hints of dought, after being able to grasp this unthinkable thought, I came to my final conclusion.

Wow, it's like reading "The Quest for the Holy Grail" or something equally descriptive! Your writing just transports the reader to a land of fairytale-like emotions and nostalgia. Great work!

Easy to lose control of your world. One day. You won't recognize your world or your self. I liked the story. You create situation and I liked the thoughts of the character. Good ending to the excellent story shared.
