The weather outside was damp and rainy, and the air swam with fog.

my body lay limp in the dew dusted grass.

thick, green blades outlined my body.

Trees surrounded my in every direction except for the little splotch of grass I lay in. I can see the sky from the hole in the forest that grows around the spot of grass. It is night time, but all of the trees are bright and have a autumn tint to them.

For longest time I do nothing.
I lay still and quiet.
Listening to the sounds around me, few but still there.
I feel peace and happiness.
Wonder.
Thoughts.
I haven't felt thoughts in a long time. ever since the works have taken that away from my community. Nobody seems to understand my confusion about what happened to thoughts in my community except for me. But here in the Forest, I feel like everything understands me. the trees stand tall and angry with a hatred for not being able to have thoughts. The stars shine angrily because back in the community they aren't aloud to shine at all.
Back in the community.
Back in the community
Back in the community.
Where am I?? But I understand all to well. I am in one of my dreams again.
But this makes me happy! I can think of all of the things I want to while for some reason in the community my thoughts are limited to school work and getting home. Every Once and a while I do get thoughts about how sad people look or I even think about my dreams, but those thoughts only come every once in a while in the community.
But here I am free to think about anything! Today I choose to think about my community. It is kind of small compared to others I have read about. It has stores and living buildings. It has book stores filled with nothing but text books. It has a candy store that my mother works at. It has... well, no much actually. why is it we have such a limited amount of buildings?? Hmm, I really have no idea.

In my community people are very quiet and contained because that is the polite way to be, but it makes them seem like... R-r-roo... Robots?? All of a sudden a picture of a metal machine pops into my mind!! It has features that look like eyes and a mouth. it seems to have arms and legs just like any normal person. but it is metal?? How can that be?! How did this picture come into my head? Where did it come from?

Everything starts to get shaky and hot tears begin to fall down my eyes. What's going on with me?? WHATS GOING ON WITH ME????

Then. I wake up.
