Dream agency

CHAPTER THREE(3)

It was suddenly cold. The atmosphere was surprisingly freezing. I shivered and rubbed my palms together.

Where am I? I asked.

I was standing in the middle of the zebra crossing road but there wasn't any cars or building or any sign of life.

I looked up, the night was cloudy. It was beautiful and the moon smiled at me.

For the first time, I can say, am at peace and in a good mood.

I kept on looking at the sky as I crossed the walkway.

The clouds were white and pure. They moved slowly in different directions and gradually it gets bigger and bigger.

What?!

I looked down and found myself standing on a huge cloud. It was taking me up and we kept on going until there was a very big bright cloud in our way.

On top of it was a very tall skyscraper.

"It's really big, tall, and huge!" I heard Ruby's voice behind me. I turned and saw her approaching with her own cloud. She was wearing her purple bunny pajamas with her hair roughly tied down.

"Ruby?" I asked when she had already stopped at where I was.

"Karen." She smiled.

"What's going on?"

"I think we are heading to a dream agency." She replied. It was then I start to recollect everything.

"But I was asleep, Ruby."

"And so am I. After our chat, I got into bed and slept off before I found myself here." She explained.

"So it's in our head?"

"Stop asking me questions, I don't know any more than you."

"Okay! Grumpy. I was just asking."

"Don't ask, Let's go." She said and immediately her cloud took her forward. Mine followed suit but we stopped just outside the gate that wasn't there before.

"It's really tall." I admired.

"Yeah."

Just above the gate is a sign saying, WELCOME TO DREAM AGENCY.

The gate opened on its own. Normally, I'd be freaking out but ever since I'd been riding on that cloud, everything is possible and besides, it's just a dream. It's all in my head.

"Cool," Ruby exclaimed.

"Nah, there might be a CCTV camera and the watchman saw us so he let us in." I shrug.

"Don't ruin this for me," Ruby warned and then giggled. "I don't know why am excited."

"Maybe Because this is the first time something like this is happening?"

"You're right."

We went in. Cool air greeted us but my eyes shifted to the very dark cloud at the top of the skyscraper.

"Look at that." I pointed it to Ruby. "What could that be?"

"Karen, sometimes I ask myself, are you the smart one, Or am I? Isn't it obvious? It's a dark cloud."

"I know what it is, stupid. What I was asking is why's there a dark cloud at the top?"

"Mystery Karen. Mystery."

"I don't like Mystery."

"Hey look at that sign." She ignored me, She pointed up. There was a sign saying, DREAM AGENCY. Motto: don't think.
