Collapsed Reality

Dulcina

After the kooky day at school I had to deal with Janis crying all the way home. Poor Janis. I feel so bad that he did that to her. We chat about it all the way home and she finally stops crying. She drops me off at my house and we say good bye to each other. As I step into my house the scent cinnamon and mints touched my nose.That can only mean one thing; Dads doing his ritual it again. I drop my stuff on the couch and rush into the kitchen. He is sitting criss cross in the middle of the kitchen,chanting words i cant understand, with the lights off, surrounded by a circle of candles, and papers scattered across the room. I turn on the light. His eyes shoot open "Hey ,button," He says, smiling. I then blow out all the candles. "Dad, Please stop doing this," I say, picking up all of the papers. Then i come across a paper with these drawings. Its a short creature with red eyes, long ears kinda like elves, and stubby knees. "Dad," Ugh its so hard to see him this way. " I'm going to bed." Why do I have to be in this family? Ugh. I jump into a spider-man onzie.Then I look in the mirror and start doing spider-man poses. I start giggling until i remember what sent me up here. God. I jump into bed and set my alarm for 9:30. I mean I have to go to work tomorrow, right? I giggle. Goodnight brain. I wake up but not normally. I look at the clock and its 4:32 A.M. God what the fuck is in my eye? I dash to the mirror. Blue sparkly gunk is coming out of my eyes. It feels like tree sap. What the hell? Then I hear muffled noises coming from the kitchen. Dads in the kitchen talking to these yellow lights. As i step closer an image starts to appear. It has arms and legs and a human head. But a thousand times smaller, and red tinted wings. Eyes as red as an apple, Skin so pale it almost glitters "Dad! What's going on? What is this?! Am I going insane?! Is this a dream?!" I say. Thoughts are unraveling in my mind. Was he right all along? Is there some other world that's joining with mine? "Hey,button. I see you've finally met them." "Meet who, dad?" I say, shocked and confused."Dulcina. She came to me right after your mother died. She's spoken to me ever since." He then puts out his finger for Dulcina to sit on.  She sits and waves at me. This HAS to be a dream,right? I rub my eyes hoping that if I do that enough I will wake up from this terrible nightmare. Nothing happens. Dulcina smiles.  A loud high pitched voice echos in my head and i cover my ears, "Hello, Madison. It's nice to finally see you again. Your dad has told me a lot about you, about how much you've changed. I haven't spoken to you since you were little."  Since I was little? Who is she? How has she meet me before?
