Matt was back in his childhood bedroom. His eyes were heavy, and he could barely move his head. He'd never felt so thirsty. A flood of memories came back to him. He knew he was dreaming, but what part was the dream?
He looked around the room. If this was the dream, it was the most realistic dream he's ever had. This was his room when he was a young boy. It was mid day, and he could see a shadow from the tree outside. He was too small to look out the window, and he had trouble standing. Was this because of the dream? Or was this an old memory?
He looked around the room and noticed how empty it was. Was it always this empty? Was he just having trouble remembering what it looked like as a kid? As he remembered, items from his childhood started to pop into place as if they'd always been there.
His big comfy chair in the corner next to a bookshelf full of colourful childrens books. A large box with a few different kinds of toys and stuffed animals. A messy area with scattered art supplies. The light left the room and then came back as if the sun was rising and setting every other second, until the room changed so gradually. It was the way it was decorated when he was in high school. The walls were a new colour. There were posters and instruments everywhere. Clothes covered the floor and then flew into the closet, then suddenly he remembered. This was the room he was in a lot as a kid, and a teen. It was the one place that was all his own.
He sat on the edge of his bed and looked around the still room. It was night time again, but there was a low light coming from the desk in the corner of the room. He remembered this, his first time alone in his room with a girl.
A hand reached out and touched his hand, Matt looked up at the face the hand belonged to. But the face wasn't who he was expecting. He remembered this time in his first year of high school, but he'd remembered the girl being Loren Bushwack.
She'd been a plan looking girl with large glasses. They'd been study partners for a few weeks and he'd learned Loren had a crush on him. He didn't really know how he felt, but he was too shy to say anything to hurt her feelings. He'd end up dating her for three years. But this was not the face of Loren Bushwack. This was a woman.
She was a fully developed woman with curves and well done make up and very little clothing. She was put together like a model straight out of a magazine, the kind of woman no real woman looks like in real life.
Now, he knew it was a dream. It was nice to have a beautiful woman like this in his bedroom, but it wasn't real. He knew the true reality of it, is that he was in a shoe box of a giant demon.
Matt layed down on the bed and closed his eyes, hoping to wake up from this strange dream. A beautiful woman in your childhood bedroom might have been some men's dream, but Matt remembered how religious his parents had been, and he would have been in a lot of trouble if his parents came across this scene. As it is, he was grounded for 3 weeks when his mother caught him and Loren holding hands.
