The Glassy Sky

SAMUEL: The Beginning

I've been trapped here for a very long time. God knows how long I've been here, all I know is that time flows differently in this world and things that makes sense in the real world doesn't make sense here. I don't recall how I ended up here, but all I know is that I'm sleeping at the back seat when that happens. I was dreaming that I entered a door leading to a forest, then I started creating cities and people along with it. Then when I tried to go out of the door, I wasn't able to go back to my own body. I tried to visualize a portal like I normally do but it won't let me. "What's wrong?" I've been in this place twice, why can't I get out? It's a nightmare and I can't get out.

I tried everything in my power to get out, but still I'm trapped in this world. Days have passed and it felt like a thousand years that I've been here. Then suddenly I opened my own door, and it lead me to a grass land filled with millions of doors. Doors leading to another person's dream world. It took me a while to harness this ability, it shows me the face of the dreamer in my mind. Now m mission is to find Zack and tell him that I'm alive. It took me a while to find the door leading to my own brother's dream scape, but I found it.

I went inside the door only to find out that it was still fresh. No cities, no towns, nothing's built yet. So I walked along the forest, then I saw Zack walking there, I immediately called him, "Brother!" I said. "Sam!" He shouted back. We tried to call each other, but I ended up losing him then I saw him being pulled back from the door. I began to lose hope that he might not come back to me, ever. So I stayed in his dream world, hoping that he'll learn to come back. And as always, I don't know what time it is because day and night are the same and nothing seems to be normal in this world.

Then that moment happened when Zack entered the door again, this time he tried to build cities with huge buildings and sky scrapers. I was happy to see him, I was there all along, but I can't seem to find a way to approach him. While I was in the forest, I saw that he created a raven where he used to track me down. He might have implanted the raven my memories so that he can locate me. But then, he was pulled back again by the door. He must learn how to control the door so that he can spend more time in his reality even longer. Then I tried to walk along the grasslands in his dream world, just sitting and relaxing then the raven came and said, "Hi! I'm Sully, short for Sullivan."

"You can talk?" I replied.

"Of course I can! By the way, I was created by Zack to locate you, and I finally did."

"I wasn't surprise that he made you to locate me."

"I was not just created for that purpose. I was also created so I can help him navigate through his own limbo."

"What's a limbo?"

"He called this place the limbo, because it's not heaven and it's not hell but it exists on its own reality." I see, so from now on, I'll call the dream world the limbo. "Can you tell my brother that I'm just here, waiting for him to return." I said.

"I sure will!" He replied, then flew away. I waited for days, but he doesn't seem to return, so I sat here and waited for that moment to come even though boredom strikes me.
