Me and my friends were at the party. We were at Theo's, it was Thursday but he said he had something special for us. So we came just to find him sitting alone on the floor and playing with something we couldn't see. He invited me, Diego, Valentina and a couple of kids from our school. We sat down silently next to him only to be attacked by his inappropriately wide smile.

,,Look." He said handing us a plastic, little bag.

It consisted of 7 tiny, yellow pills in the shape of a Sun. Each for one of us.

,,What's that?" Valentina asked.

,,It's the dream catcher!" He boiled with excitement. ,,I finally managed to find it!"

Some seconds went blurry, I didn't code the events in my head. I was brought back to the ground when the yellow pill was placed on my open, ready hand.

,,We have to place it on our tongues." Theo said with insane grimace on his face. He seemed like he was about to explode.

So we did. We all did place a little pill on our tongues. And suddenly, I saw all 6 pairs of pupils around me go so wide I couldn't see their irises. I was attached by a black holes of eyes from every corner. I felt my eyes widen too as everything seemed sharpen as it never did before.

The drug everyone was talking about for so long finally got into our hands. The dream catcher was extremely hard to be bought, Theo's been hunting for it for a year. I didn't know much about it. Only that it was supposed to wrench out the best dreams from person's long term memory and replay them in their brain. Everyone was talking about it. It was on everyone's tongues ever since it first appeared. I've heard, that the feeling is incomparable to anything else in the world. It's like you're floating in a deepest water, your body and brain weightless. Nothing bothers you. You can't feel touch, you can't feel taste or smell, you can't hear any noises. It turns you off just to bring you into its arms and offer you the best scenario your brain could possibly produce. And the rumours were true. It did feel like floating.

Peace.
