Brick: A Short LEGO Story

Mike was a regular boy. He went to a regular school, lived in a regular house, and had regular friends and family. But there was only one thing that was different about Mike. He would go up to his room and build with his giant LEGO collection. He had set up a "community" of LEGO building, vehicles, and people. Buildings were built from houses and apartments to airports and skyscrapers. LEGO citizens varied in clothing, house, form of transportation, and so on and so forth. One night, Mike went to sleep in his bed and dozed off into a dream. As he appeared in the dream, he seemed to be somewhere familiar. LEGO buildings towered above him as realized he was in his own utopia. He was in his LEGO community, LEGO City. He looked down and noticed the blocky feet and hooked hands of a LEGO mini-fig. He was a LEGO! He walked over to the sidewalk and followed his way down Brick Street. He knew this place like the back of his hand, which was now a LEGO piece. When building LEGO City, Mike built a house especially for himself. He pushed the door open and walked in the LEGO house. All of the things he remembered about it was still here. The potted plants, the kitchen, the pool table, his couch, his TV, and even his own mini bedroom. It was too good to be true. He could finally be special and not just fitting in like his human form. Being LEGO was awesome! You can build anything you imagine if you just look around for a second to find some good pieces. He decided to explore his creation more, so he left the house and rode his LEGO sports car to the space station. He drove into the parking lot and stepped out and into the building. Mike had always wanted to fly to the moon in a rocket, and today was the day, because Mike had built the moon above the city so his LEGO astronauts could explore the final frontier. He ran through the dressing rooms to change into the space suit hanging on a pole. Mike ran into the rocket entrance with two others, which he recognized to be his LEGO City astronauts, James and Joseph, the twin brothers. He greeted them with a "hello" and a how's it going?". Everybody was nice in LEGO City. That was one of the many things he loved about it. Mike and the astronauts climbed up the ladder into the cockpit and waited for countdown. The engines flared up and roared loudly. The rocket left the station and soared to the moon. A bit later, they landed the rocket on the surface and stepped out. it was not a very big moon, but it was cool. No ordinary kid has a chance to land on a LEGO moon. The astronauts and Mike ventured around and looked down on the LEGO world below. Mike couldn't believe what he had done that night. Later, they descended back down to the landing pad and exited. Mike continued to do everything he wanted that night in his LEGO world. The LEGO Tardis was the best part to him. Then, he noticed the sun start to rise over the city. He didn't want to go. He was having a good time and was finally something special. Suddenly without any further warning, he woke up in his bedroom as a regular human, just a regular boy. After that night, he never thought the same way again.
