Moonlight Fields

Where am I?

How did I get here?

I don't understand what's going on but I seem to be in a forest for some reason. However, something about this forest feels... different. I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels almost like I'm in some sort of dream land or fairy tail because these towering trees look so vibrant and beautiful, almost like a painting. Their barks are a shimmering copper with the occasional golden glow, their leaves are shinning like emerald's in the silver moonlight as they dance elegantly in the cooling breeze. It sounds like they are humming a soft melody with a thousand voices. The glistening grass feels as soft as a blanket under my fragile body. I never knew such a place could exist!

Hang on, since when was I wearing a royal blue silken dress? Last thing I defiantly remember wearing was my usual black skinny jeans and a murky green hoody... and shoes. What happened to my shoes! This is ever so confusing. I can't even remember what I was doing before. Oh well, I guess I should see if I can find someone who can tell me where I am and how to get home.

There doesn't seem to be a obvious path anywhere, although there is a small open area just up ahead by the look of it. I hope I can find a way out soon but as I'm here I might as well enjoy my surroundings, as you don't get to see such a beautiful forest like this everyday. Once I find out the name of this place I will definitely be coming back here with my camera.

I didn't realise quite how far a walk it would be to get to this opening. I feel like I've been walking for about 30 minutes now. Then again I am walking slowly, but even still I should be there by now. It doesn't look like I'm getting closer to it annoyingly. This is really weird. Am I even awake right now? But everything feels so real! I could be having a lucid dream? OUCH! Definitely not dreaming because if I was pinching myself in a dream it would have been painless. Oh that's going to leave a mark.

Wow, there are suddenly so many pretty lights hovering around me. I wonder what they are? What? Why are they all going away from me? Could they be leading me somewhere? Well there is only one way to find out, they are flying really fast so I'm going to need to run after them. This is going to be interesting!

They lead me out of the forest, how kind of them, onto a stunning field full of glowing flowers that I have never seen before. There are majestic, vibrant shades of reds and blues and yellows and... well you get the picture. The silver moon is glistening in the night sky, providing light for the land. I'm struggling to take my eyes off this stunning sight but strangely I feel sleepy. It's almost as if this gorgeous scene is so soothing that my very being can't resist the urge to lay down and rest. My eyelids are increasingly heavy now and I can't keep them open any longer.

I feel so at home here I don't ever want to leave.
