As the sound of the hustle and bustle of the busy streets flows through the air, a small family consisting of a mother, a father, an adult sister, and finally the youngest of the bunch, Mc, walk the streets until they reach a small, very pink and old looking house with a nice looking old lady standing on its porch.
The old woman gestures to the girl and the girl starts walking hesitantly towards the strange house. The woman smiles and asks the girl to enter her house because when she did so, the old woman said that she'd give her a thousand dollars in cash. The girl hesitated for a bit before agreeing and did what the old woman told her to do. A wave of dread washed over her as she heard the door slam behind her and being locked shut.
The girl looks around the house in bewilderment as the walls had stretched for miles. Huh it's bigger on the inside then it's outer look the girl thought to herself. As she finally looks forward, she notices that this is no ordinary house. It's a magic maze. The maze, like the walls, had stretched for miles with no end in sight. The girl sighed as she saw that there was no other way out and began to walk forward towards the maze. She then found herself at a dead end full of booby traps. She steps back to the previous hallway, rethinking her choices.
Eventually, the girl finds the correct path and the cycle of trial and error gets her out of the maze. She then sees the old woman from the beginning. The woman, this time looking angry and disappointed, turns a light shade of green as her entire body disappears and her head grows larger and larger until it had blocked a curious door behind the witch completely.
As the witch's head was swinging violently, the girl climbed it to get to the key that was stuck on one of the hair of her eyelashes. The girl tried her best to reach the key as she stood on the bottom lip of the witch's eye. As soon as the girl had reached the key, she flew into the air and was about to hit to ground, when she felt something...soft. As if she was floating on air.
She looks down at her mysterious seat and finds a cloud beneath her. She is surprised by the sight but lets it gently take her down and steps on the ground when she reaches it.
She then thanks the cloud and bolts towards the now slightly revealed door. The witch's head suddenly swishes back her direction, blocking the door once more. The girl then tricks the head into going the wrong way and zooms to the door again. Finally the girl unlocks the door with the key she worked so hard to get and the world turns white on the other side of the door.
I wake up and wonder what the heck this dream was about.
