Olivia Meyer is a girl who has always loved the fantasy world. One day, she comes across an old shed in the woods that takes her to a world of magic, a place she's always dreamed of. She's always struggled to fit in in the "real" world so a chance at escape seems almost like a dream as she sets out on her journey. What she doesn't realize is that nightmares are dreams too.
Reality by: @nimaprobablyhatesyou
What world do you live in?
What world are you a part of?
The blistering, heated world,
The cold, crule reality?
What a paradoxical world we live in
So why do we expect someone
To be one happy
Or sad? When our world
Is neither and all.
