The Dream and The Something

The Dream

She went to sleep. Once asleep, she started seeing images and hearing noises.

Who am I? she thought, as she watched these strange and wonderful hallucinations. I don't even know my name.

"Your name", said a voice, in her dream, "is She."

And she thought to herself, It is quite odd that while I am lying here motionless with nothing going on around me that I am seeing and hearing so much.

"Welcome to Dream-Land", said the voice.

And she looked around. She saw a house. It was a house quite like one she had seen before—in fact, she was sure that in real life she was in the house—but it was different in some way. She walked towards the house; further inspection revealed that the house in the dream was red. Her house was blue. She opened the door and stepped inside, and she found herself in a big forest.

"How odd", she said.

"Well, you are in a dream", said the voice.

Just then many winged alligators swooped down and she woke up suddenly.

"Whew! I'm glad that was just a dream", she said, and she went back to sleep.

The Something

Once upon a time there was something.

"Who am I?" it asked.

"I don't know", said the author.

"Maybe I'm a pizza", said the something.

"Okay", said the author. The pizza disappeared into the author's stomach.

"I don't exist", said the something.

Then there was another something.

"I'm an ice cream", said the other something.

"Am I hungry?" asked the author.

"No, of course not", said the ice cream and backed away slowly. The ice cream stopped existing.

"I'm sleep", said the third something.

The author tried to catch the sleep, but it hid behind the writing notebook.

The author put the notebook aside. It was time to get some sleep.
