I was playing in the forest when suddenly...it was dark, but there was something gleaming in the distance. I started walking, but then it disappeared. I found myself in the center of a circle with people dancing around me. Suddenly, someone stepped out of the trees. He had a darker complexion, a tall stance, and was dressed in all black, wearing a mask, and a hat. He carried a flute. I tried talking but nothing came out. He started playing his flute and something pulled me as I danced. He danced along, and I was filled with joy. However the more I danced. The more his pull weakened. So I enveloped the joy of dancing and broke free of his control.
While he wasn't looking, I ran into the forest and into a garden. In the distance, I heard him yell then play his flute, to capture me. As I ran, I felt as free as a bird as I flew over the hills. Finally, I reached my little cottage, and I ripped the door open. My family seemed different andI couldn't escape as they danced, grabbed, and poked me.
