am i dreaming again..?

"dinner."

You went into the dinning room, being led by Lillie,holding her hand. It was soft, and you guys arrived there quickly, despite the giant stairs. While you guys walked, she said :

Lillie: "Also, [your name], be careful when you walk around the house. Never look at the paintings in the eyes. They'll look at you back."

She said with a monotone, empty voice. You..didn't understand. Paintings ? Looking back ? Actually..maybe you should follow her advice...after all..you are not from here.

You both arrived in front of the dinning table. It was huge ! It looked like there was a lot of people in the house! You noticed an empty, spare chair just next to Mother Céline. She beckons you to come further, and to sit. She then says, :

Mother Céline : "Dearies, today's dinner is in our dear guest's honour, [your name]. Some of you, might not know them yet. Please treat them well and make them feel welcome in the warm household we all live in !"

She said warmly.

You smile awkwardly, not expecting her to do such an honour. But then, you felt every guest's eyes landing on you. And then you felt.. weird.

You felt like.. there was more people looking at you...than only the people at the table. And oh god were they many. You felt like..

Like...

The household itself was looking at you.

You look at the food, hoping for something that will, for an moment, make you forget the stares.

You look at the food, and find yourself Infront of...decent food. At least, it was better than what you expected when you first came here.

Let's say the turning of the events didn't really help you think of normal things.

First you wake up in a field of sunflowers

Then a sunflower itself comes and take you 'home' ?

You meet a moonhead named 'Mother Céline' ?

Then a literal PEN teaching you about local creatures??

How could you think of something normal for a second....

Not that you mind something that at least...looks like something that comes from your dimension. Which dimension even was that ?? The seventh??

You smiled at the food and said:

-"Thank you. I really appreciate it ! If...if you don't mind me asking, how many uhm...'guests' are there ?"

And Mother Céline immediately responded by:

Mother Céline : "Oh they are countless. We have tried to count them before, but they just seem to multiply...because some of our inhabitants don't follow the rules."
