I OPEN MY EYES

I slowly open my eyes
Things like fairies are touching my face and hands
This is weird
A tall mysterious jungle looming over my head
Golden butterflies are sucking the sweet nectar
I slowly stand to my feet, I look around
This is weird
‘Oh my gosh’ I yell ‘what is that’ I scream
The fairies touch rose red lips softly but firmly
They pull at my fingers and drag me to the egg thingy
It seems like an egg a very transparent egg
The fairies push me into the egg almost in slow motion I fall
I realise I’m drowning, inhaling water
This is weird
My eyes flutter open Mum and Dad stare at me
What just happened I cry but all they do is shrug
