【 Therefore I Am 】『 DreamNotFound | GeorgeWasTaken | Gream 』

Dream turned his head back towards George, and the two looked at each other in silence.
"Why did I come out here," Dream repeated George. "Well..."
He took a deep breath in, and traced circles along the table gently. Up closer, his hands looked worn, but strong.
"Have you ever heard of koinophobia?"
The question took George by surprise. He shook his head after a moment.
"Koinophobia," Dream went on, "is the fear of living an ordinary life."

Silence passed.

"It's when you fear that you're so ordinary," he looked at his uneaten cookie, "that one day, the world will forget about you. But it will keep spinning."
"Isn't that the majority of the population though?" The brunet asked quietly.
Dream nodded. "That's the point. The fear that you're no different than the rest."

He's been assigned to visit the Far, Far Range and meet a mysterious, famous Slime Rancher that goes by 'Dream'. Expecting to leave with a simple interview about Slimes, George finds himself being lured into something that's far more than he anticipated.

(AKA the Slime Rancher!Dream AU nobody asked for.)

Hi everyone, this is my first really long book so please be gentle with me. It's in total about 12k words, and also not meant to be taken seriously- it's just based off of a personal interpretation of a philosophical quote (key words: personal interpretation), plus my koinophobia that leaves me miserable a lot of the time. I found this like a nice outlet to let out some pent-up feelings.

I apologize for the short first chapter, I promise it gets longer. Thank you all. :)
