Floating

Falling

Into dark oblivion

Opening my eyes

I see nothing

I step forward

A splash sounds

And my tennies shoes get soaked

I walk and walk

Not knowing where I'm going

But soon

I see a light

A circle of light

Stepping through the hole

I squeeze my eyes shut

Its too bright

Something hot grips my shoulder

I turn around and see a shadow

A shadow of a man

His eyes are glowing red

His skin aglow with orange

That's not for you, he says

In a smooth musical voice

He takes me by the hand

Together we splash

Walking towards nothing

He stops and says, jump

Then he dissapeard

I held my breath and jumped

Floating

Falling

I land at the bottom

Sink into coldness

I gasp for air

Failing to stay up

A hand grabs me

Its cold and real

I sit on the ground and catch my breath

I look around the dim cave

My shoes are stained an eerie red

My jeans are muddy and soaked as well as my shirt

The hand lifts me up

I look into the same red eyes

He brings me towards a door

We go through

Heat radiated through me

I looked down and saw that my t-shirt and jeans had changed to

A long lacy black dress with glowing embers. Its sleeves snug against my arms.

Look up he told me

I looked up and saw

A dark kingdom

Lava

And mist

He turned in a full circle with his arms outstretched

Welcome home

My dear one

He held out his hand and this time I firmly took it

Together we entered his castle where monsters of all sorts bowed down to us

He sat me down on a thrown and places a crown on top of my head

Then he too bowed

I stood and looked about the room then I spoke,

My voice echoing in the empty room

Its good to be home
