hello

Looking the man up and down, I was intruiged yet frightened. He was wearing a neatly pressed form fitting white suit of which was made of a material I had never seen before. "Hello," The man said with a polite smile, tipping his hat towards me. "I am Happiness. My form itself is encompassed by happiness." He says, looking down at me with gentle eyes. "You are a child with a thousand woes, hundreds of pleads of which have never been granted. I am here today to save you, my child. I am here to grant you Happiness." He continues, and I stop listening at this point as the beautiful warmth radiating off him was so inviting and cozy just like home, that I couldnt help but to reach out and brush my fingers against his arm, try to hug him, anything--

And his figure began to fade away, into dust that was easily blown off by the passing breeze. I woke up with a jolt, gazing down at my shaking hands covered in cold sweat. I heaved a sigh, of which its cause I am not aware of. 'What was that...? It was all just a bad dream.' I laughed to myself as I let myself fall back onto the bed, smiling that same synthetic smile.

After all, 'Happiness' wasnt real.
