The day began, like so many others, with Tay flying into the kitchen, and indecisively decided he had to eat. There was not much else than noodles to choose from, no matter what cupboard he opened, it was just noodles, he closed the last cupboard door and decided to wash his face.
Inside the bathroom he opened the closet that was in the wall, Tay wondered a little. When had he gotten a closet installed there? He blinked when he looked inside the closet, it was filled with noodles. He couldn't remember when he had started storing noodles in the bathroom.
He closed the door and went to the living room, he sat down on the sofa, which was also made of noodles. When had they gotten a new sofa, Tay wondered?
He saw Lee come out of the bathroom; his head wrapped in a towel of noodles. They didn't talk about it, but Lee smelled of shellfish.
They ate noodles for breakfast before finding their way down to the car which had also had noodle seats, they were going to take pictures today, but Tay didn't know of what.
While driving, Lee concluded that the wheels on the car were made of noodles. Lee looked convincingly at Tay who, in turn, barely reacted to the thought. It was so strange that everything looked like noodles, when Tay let the thought go through a few times it struck him, "We live in a noodle world, everything is made of noodles." Tay exclaimed enthusiastically.
Lee looked at Tay with round eyes, now the steering wheel had turned into noodles. Lee looked around; the road had turned into noodles.
The buildings along the rode had turned into large noodle buildings. There were noodle trees in places where there should not be anything, and what could be reminiscent of a river; the gutters so full of noodles that moved freely.
Lee looked up at Tay, that was smiling as if he had no concern in the whole world. They were now on the ground; the car was gone. Lee did not know what to say, where he had parked the car?
Tay sat up in bed somewhat confused and looked around, he saw Lee lying next to him, "Wait a minute, what. Wait what?" He asked, picking up the cellphone and looking at the clock, 03.57. it was still night. He turned around and hugged Lee from behind and fell asleep again.
He didn't wake until Lee woke him up the next day. "I had the weirdest dream," Lee said to Tay, who rubbed his eyes.
"Everything was noodles, the whole house here was just noodles, in all cabinets, even cabinets that we don't have, had noodles in them. And then we went for a drive and everything around us turned into noodles, and you didn't even respond to anything that happen not even when the car turned into noodles. " Lee concluded.
Tay lay in his lap on the bed.
"Lee, I dreamed exactly the same." replied Tay sleepily as he looked up at Lee.
