I wore a black suit,a white t shirt and shiny black shoes and it’s making me feel uncomfortable.I’m wearing the right clothes for the right day, I’m currently unemployed and is currently job hunting.This clothes makes me feel like im pretending to be an adult , I just got out of college and I just realized I’m really unprepared. i've had several interviews lately, and they have all said similar things at the end.... "if you don't hear from us by bla bla “or "we’ll call you".... to me it seems like it means you didn't get the job, they never call.
I sighed and got on my car and drove the Nissan that my father bought for me as a graduation gift,I just drove randomly with no destination in mind, just drove to kill some time.Then I remembered our old house,it’s pretty far away, it’s quiet.The perfect place to relax.
After nearly two hours of driving I finally arrive at our old house now worn down and it seems like it’s about to collapse any moment and not far from it is another house.The house that was so lively back then, now decrepit and black with soot.It was where his child hood friend once lived until…
“No don’t think about depressing things, you came here to relax”
Chris told himself as he stand in front of the two houses,the surrounding was quiet except for the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves.
Beyond the two houses is a field of rapeseed and in the middle of the field is a lone tree.It’s been years since I last saw that tree.I walked past the houses and walked through the field to where the tree stand.Memory resurfaced –some wonderful and some terrible and the most wonderful memories reminds me of the most terrible,like how brighter the light darker the shadow .I sat on the fattest root of the tree, thinking about the past.Before I knew it a tear fell down my cheek, I used the handkerchief in my pocket to wipe it.
When I was a kid I was afraid of ghosts and monsters,I still think they’re true and if I saw one I’m not sure if I could hold my bladder.I’m afraid of many things, but it’s my first time being afraid of the future.It’s kind of frightening
The setting sun dyed the field red and the field sway in the wind,creating the illusion of a red rolling wave.
It’s so relaxing that im feeling a little sleepy
Actually not a little sleepy, Im feeling really sleepy that if I lose focus I would probably fall asleep instantly
My eyes felt heavy and the surroundings blurred
I leaned on the tree for support
Both my eyes and body felt heavy, I closed my eyes and let my self be taken into the dream world, not minding where i’m sleeping
Then my consciousness fades away
When I awoke, Im still leaning on the same tree but…everythings different
It’s like I got transported to another world while i’m asleep
I stood up and I noticed something-did the tree get bigger?
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
No, the tree didnt grew bigger, I’m the one who became smaller
I’m now in the body of my 7 yrs old self
This doesn’t make any sense
I rubbed my eyes and pinches my cheeks
“Ouch!”
I’m not dreaming…
WTF
“Where the hell am I ?!”
Did somebody played a prank on me!
Calm down, calm down
There’s gotta be an explanation for this, I tried calming myself down
I examined the surroundings just to make sure im not hallucinating or something
No everythings different
The sun looks flat and it looks like someone had just drawn it on sky.That’s the proof that wherever this is, this isn’ t Earth.I’m now in a clearing in a forest, the forest is so dense that even a flashlight can’t possibly illuminate the way out of this forest.The trees…except for the one where I slept, every tree looks like the trees I drew when I was still in kindergarten.It looks like im inside a world drawn by a child
My brain can’t make any logical explanation
I’m in this bizarre place where everything looks like drawing, and furthermore my age regressed back to when I was 6-7 years old
I was about to freak out when I saw something- a yellow brick road
It wasn’t there before
But since I don’t want to be stuck here I followed the yellow brick road and also because..i can’t explain but I have to follow the yellow brick road
I saw things that made me question my sanity,maybe im just dreaming this and my real body is lying in the hospital, or maybe in a mental institution.This place is so weird that I won’t be surprised if someone just put LSD in my food and im just having an acid trip right now
My pace was slow due to my short legs. I always stumble because even though this is my body when I was younger, im still not used to the sudden change
The end of the road is a door, there is something carved on it but I can’t read it. I reached for the knob and opened it Inside is a huge library, so big that I can’t see the end of it.I entered inside to see if there is someone who I can ask for help
“Welcome, Child”
I hear a voice behind me.A voice calm and serene, but filled with dignity
I turned around to see who that voice belongs to
“I-I’m s-sorry, the door was open so-“
“Do not worry, I’m not angry, it’s been a long time since I had a guest’’
His eyes is filled with wisdom, his long beard white as snow.Despite being old, he doesn’t look weak, he gives off an aura of a very powerful and wise sage.He gives off the feeling of omniscience
“You might be wondering what is this place and who I am, I can see it in your face.It’s good being honest but you must also learn to conceal your thoughts
He sat on a chair and offered me the chair opposite to his
“I’m The Archetype Sage and this place is- what you humans call The Akashic Records”
Isn’t that the place where everything is recorded?
“Why am I here? How can I go back home?”
I asked him,
“The reason why you’re here is because it is what you desire”
“What I desire?”
It’s what I desire? How can that be ? I don’t remember wishing to be 7 again and being transported to this weird plane of existence.
“When you slept on that tree, isn’t that what you desire? You keep reminiscing about the past and wishes to return to being an innocent child again.That tree is the nexus between worlds, it is a part of the mystical tree Yggdrasil.”
“Then why did I turn into a kid again ?”
“There are truths that children know and adults do not, children are the only one who can navigate the mystical realms , their connection to these plane of existence are strong and they’re the only one who can see mystical beings”
I wan’t to ask more question, does that mean that the things I saw when I was a kid wasn’t just my imagination? And that I’m the only one who can see them because I’m the only one who believe they exist?But I what I need to know is how to get out of this place, even if life is hard I can’t just escape it, I need to face reality
“Can you send me back to my world ?“
“This is only the beginning of your journey,you will discover who you really are but for now, sleep child sleep.Once you woke up, your journey will begin”
“But I wa-“
It’s happening again
No, I need to stay awake.
My eyes grew heavy
No, if I sleep now, when I woke up I will be in a different world again
Must not slee….
