Wishing T'wer Real

Stepping out into a surreal world as it seemed, cool, misty, wet. Reminds me of a rainforest minus the heat. It was probably 20 degrees out, something like having the aircond permanently on. Loving it! I walked onto the grass, firm even though it looked like it just rained. Not muddy, grass grew like a perfectly mowed lawn. Amazing, i thought, how can one place be so visibly perfect. I walked through the shaded lawn, trees towering ahead with they're huge leaves shading the grass from the melodramatic sun, in steadfst belief that nothing could go wrong. How could it? In such a serene place as this.

I came to a row of stairs, a railing covered with moss, slowly but unsurely i stepped up. Every step made sure that i was dreaming. Every step made me feel more comfortable, more at ease.

More happily cut grass in an Eden of Earth. I walked pass a beautifully carved gate covered in vines with flowers of red and gasped at the beauty of the mansion beyond the mists. I heard wild laughter from inside as my sister and friends beckoned me to come in and i did. I was greeted by the masses. Adonises left, right and centre. I felt faint. The joy. I grinned. Poster boys waiting hand and foot, free from pain, anger, stress and work, and the thought of unlimited time wastage teetered on the edge of my mind. Falling to disbelieving oblivion. A game station, i gasped. PS2 and its predecessors, Nintendos, X-boxes and for the killer blow... A 72 inch plasma TV. Food, glorius food and plentyfull hawt male specimens followed suit. Heaven. Eden of Earth, wait i said that already... grin.
***
Brain boredering manic dementia from the overzealous screaming of joy. Unlimited free time, food, games and boys. How could this get any better? I did... The grand finale took the shape of a beautifully carved axe, hand painted with the oddest most amazing design a man could ever think of imagining.
***
I woke up with the sound of my mother telling me to wake up. And so i grudgingly opened my eyes to the real world.
