MIND BUBBLE⚘✾

“It gives me joy to see your face before going to bed.”

“Remi, I'm talking about something more important.” I acted as though I wasn't flattered. “That wasn't some love triangle. He's actually someone I met online who felt my impact so much that he wanted to pay my bills.”

“Fine, I'm sorry... Not sorry.”

“I don't even have your time. I need to go now.”

“How about we keep talking until you fall asleep?”

“You’re crazy love sick!”

We both laughed.

“Goodnight, Flowerina.”

“Goodnight, lil' Einstein.”

“Don’t forget to pray before you head on to bed.”

“I’ll try.”

I appeared in a certain world. All I saw was darkness.
“Hello,” I said into the air. My voice echoed audibly.
“Hello!” I heard a weird voice respond in a distance, so weird that I could not determine its gender and personality.

"Who are you?"

"I am intelligence... But you can call me Tika." The voice came closer.

"If this is what intelligence sounds like then I choose dumbness."

"How about this voice?" Tika's voice suddenly transformed; it was alien-like.

"No, no. This is just creepy. I prefer the other one."

"Well, you're gonna take back what you said when you see me." It came back to the default shrill voice.

"Yeah, I should see who I'm speaking to."

The place was covered in thick darkness. I no longer heard the voice or felt the presence of Tika.
"Hello? Tika? You there?"

Instantly, I spotted a green light in the apparel of a ball from afar off. At first, it was faint, then it grew brighter and brighter until I could see a big, round ball. It remained floating in mid air.

"Hello? Tika, where are you?"

The ball moved in celerity with the sound of a mighty wind. It came and spun around me. It paused in front of me and the ball unfolded itself. It appeared to be like a furry, large entity. It had no legs, just a long tail with big, round eyes.

"I am Tika."

"Still not taking back what I said."

The entity changed its colour to pink.

"How about pink?"

"No."

"Purple?"

"Nah-a."

"Yellow?"

"Horrible."

"Orange?"

"Ugly."

Tika continued to switch colours speedily that it started to affect my eyes as it grew brighter by the moment.

"Tika, stop!"

The entity changed to its default colour—green and blinked twice like nothing ever happened.

"So, are you a boy or a girl?"

"None—I am neither a male nor a female. I am welcome in all bathrooms."

"Okay, so where am I?"

"Just somewhere outside Earth."
