No one ever tells you when things may change. But sometimes change is what we need. To wake up from the dream of reality and what can really happen. To see the bigger picture.
The stories we were told as kids about planets far off with other life forces or dimensions where our dreams are reality to some. Where the stories we were told were make believe or myth are really not stories at all.

I drove in the middle of no where crying. Why was I crying? Well I gave up my son four years ago for him to have a better life. I tried once to find out where he went but it was like he was ripped off the face of the earth.
I Wiped the tears away just in time to see a glowing figure on the side of the road.
I stomped on my breaks and looked again. The figure was still there. Watching me. It's eyes were a honey brown with the blue lighting.
Curious I stepped out of my car and looked at the figure. It looked me up and down before turning around and walking into the woods. Not fast but just walking away.
Don't ask me why but I fallowed the glowing figure. The trees became thicker with each passing moment.
Each time I passed a tree I would loose sight of the figure only to turn again and see the glow again.
I fallowed the figure to a cave. It stood at the mouth with its back to me.
"Who are you?" I asked out of breath. It's head cocked to the side but did not turn around. "What are you?" I mumbled.
"Fallow." It whispered before walking into the darkness. It's glow lit the rocks as it went further. I thought for a second only a second before I took a step forward fallowed by one foot after the other as I fallowed this enticing being further and further from the mouth of the cave. It stopped suddenly.
"Are you afraid of heights?" It whispered.
"Not really." I answered. I couldn't help but study it. The creature was wearing a thin cloak that had different symbols stitched in different patterns.
"Good. Fallow." It jumped down a hole that I hadn't noticed was in front of it.
I walked to the edge with caution.
The figure could be seen moving down and down into the darkness before I could no longer see it's light.
Why the hell am I fallowing a glowing being into a hole? The same reason I fallowed it into the woods and into a cave.
I took a deep breath before jumping.
I watched the top of the cave as it became further and further away.
That's when a thought accrued to me.
"How do I stop falling?" Panic set in as I closed my eyes and just let gravity take me down. Further and further. It became warmer but still dark.
"Don't be scared." I opened my eyes and I was sitting on the ground hugging my knees. The figure stood in front of me. It's eyes wandered over my face. "You said you weren't afraid of heights." It's time was still a whisper.
"Is it bad that I feel like I fallowed a rabbit into a rabbit hole?" I whispered to myself.
"Rabbits don't dig this deep. No one does. Well up there they don't have the right tools to dig down here." I stood up finding myself face to face with the figure. It was a woman with dark hair.
"Who are you?" I asked again. She smiled. That when I noticed a scar on her upper lip.
"You'll find out soon enough but fallow." She turned around and walking to what resembled a door. She glanced behind her one last time before opening it. Warmer air rushed in. The light it gave off made me shield my eyes.
I looked under my hand to see a village go on for miles.
"Where am I?" I asked when my eyes adjusted.
"Your in Blue Water. My home." The village was surrounded but glowing rock. "We are in the center of the earth." The houses. Where constructed with stones. There was grass and even light posts. When they would need those was beyond you imagination. "I want you to meet someone." I looked at her to see she had removed her cloak from her head. Her hair was in a braid. A golden metal lined the top of her hair and bent in the front going down her forehead.
"Who?" She took my hand and raised it in the hair. She didn't look at me but looked at the village. One by one people with glows walked out of their houses.
A woman with red hair walked foreword with a small child that did not have a glow.
"Henry." The woman stopped at the rock we were standing upon.
The boy climbed the ladder and walked slowly past me before clinging to the dark haired woman's legs.
"Anikwa sak!" The people responded.
"Emma this is my son. You gave him to me." She smiled at the boy.
"I don't know what you mean." I whispered still in aw of what lay before me.
"Henry came from you. But you didn't want him. So the gods blessed me and gave him to me."
