Down the Memory Lane

III.

Water. Water was what she felt all around her. She wanted to swim but she couldn't move a joint. Her eyes were closed and surely enough if they were open, tears would come pouring out.

She was going deep; she could feel it and every moment felt like her last moment alive.

She expected to hit the bottom ground as she was going down too long but instead she continued falling and this time she did not feel the water, she felt sand all over her body.

She was falling faster, harder against the dry rough sand, and each second felt like dying.

She woke up

on her bed, with the same white sheets and her favorite light blue blanket. Sun rays came pouring down from her window although this time she thought it was brighter.

"Mom? Dad? You home?" she cried while walking downstairs, panic visible all over her face.

"Sweetie, you're home." Her mom, smiling ever so widly, was on the couch with her dad. She hugged her daughter tightly grinning from ear to ear.

"Home? I just woke up from my bed. I think I had a nightmare", she scratched her head trying to comprehend everything. Something seems odd, her mom isn't this showy and her dad also had the same grin on his face.

"Why don't you eat your breakfast, darling? Everything's at the kitchen", her dad said, sweetly.

And so she went to the kitchen, opened the fridge and she almost dropped her jaw at what she saw. Food. The fridge was full of everything she wanted to eat; it was so full that it was overflowing.

"Mom, dad, you bought so many food?", she said in between eating a pizza but she knew they didn't hear her so she just ate all the way.

She went outside bringing an ample amount of chocolate using her shirt. Everything was so bright and different. It just felt so happy but odd. Everyone was smiling and laughing along the road.

"Hey!" A boy climbed from their fence. It was Nathan.

"Nathan? Why are you here?"

"I was looking for you."

"Looking for me? I just woke up."

"Yeah, I know. C'mon, It's dangerous."
