Land Of Dreams

Chapter Three 'the First Dream'

I wake up to a face covered in sand, i try to move my hand so I can brush it off but I can't, panic fills me for head to my toes, but when I look down I just realised that I was just laying on them. I could feel my face heating up with embarrassment, good no one is around to witness my stupidity. Wait! No one is here, where is here? Where am I? I jump up and take in my surroundings, what the fu... There is nothing, nothing any where, it looks like I've been dropped into the middle of the dessert, but even in the dessert there is somethings but here there really is nothing but the sand under my feet.

I just wonder for a bit, trying to find something. Anything. The heat here is like a woollen blanket wrapped tightly around me, making it hard to breathe, all I can think about is water and cool air. Air. Wind. There no wind here, not even a soft breeze blowing on my face, I can’t wait for this dream to be over, it feels like I’ve been walking forever. Ha, it’s weird how dreams can do that, isn’t it? Feel like a life time but when you wake up it feels as if you’ve been sleeping for seconds.

 

It’s unbearable now. Sweat pouring down my face, making it hard to see, my feet are raw and bloody, but I can’t stop if I stop, I won’t be able to get back up, my feet start to go numb with pain, one foot just gave completely, causing me to trip, I fall to the hard, gritty ground with a thud.

 

The heat pours down on me as I lay still on the ground, my mouth is so dry and my lips are all chapped and now my lungs feel as if they are slowly starting to give up. Water. Water is all I need. Oh please let this nightmare be over. Please. Slowly darkness washes over me…
