I woke up feeling distraught. It's all too bright.

"Lessen the lights." I croak.

Nothing happened. I hear but I can't see. I hear whispers... no... I hear a fan? I think that's what it is. I feel cold and hot at the same time. I don't know if that's possible but I distinctly remember feeling that way in the past.

I hear giggles... probably distant laughing. I think I also hear footsteps. What the fuck. I know I opened my eyes. How come I can't see? What if I'm hallucinating? I was probably drunk. I'm probably still drunk...? I'm pretty sure I'd be laughing my ass off if I were. Or probably some street lying on the ground. Or at a precinct. Was I drunk? Did I drink? I don't suppose that I was doing drugs... I don't do those. Was I drugged?

Nah. What would they gain from me if they drugged me? I can't even gain anything from myself!

Okay now I'm laughing.

Wait... the noise...?

I think I stood up? Why can't I tell? What is happening anyway?

"Wake up." That's a she. I'm pretty sure that's a she...

I feel palms rubbing my body. Why are they rubbing my body. What are they rubbing on to me? Wait... am I naked? Am I kidnapped? Am I being transported somewhere?

Suddenly I feel...all too happy. Just happy. There's something about her voice...

Now I feel licking. WE HAVE A DOG? Was that their gift? What? What dog?

"No signs yet..." "I hope he's okay." "Will he be fine?" "Surely he'll be alright. He's strong."

Their voices are louder. I hear songs. Beautiful songs. I can't pinpoint what but they are familiar. They're happy songs.

I want to dance. I want to run. I want to laugh and yell happy stuff!

I open my eyes and breathe in. They all yelled. I was frightened. What is happening. I took a step back. This is not what I was expecting. It's a different place. I see colors.

Blue. Light and dark. Gray? Yellow... or brown? Probably both? I thought it was bright in here? How come it seems...dull?

I hear something. It's joyous. It's cute. It's exciting! I look around and I see one playing some toy. I'm not too old for toys but I guess I'm not too young to receive 'em, too. I took it. I squeezed it and the sound came out longer than what it did earlier. I shake it around and it was just too fantastic! I know I find my robot figures cool but this one's just amazing!

I hear laughter. And I look. I step back again. They're all huge! How? What? Is this a dream?

"It's okay, Sandy. We won't hurt you..." said she.

It's her voice. I can't speak. But I come forward to her.

"Merry Christmas." I say to her. She smiled and caressed me. I feel...relaxed. Then, a dog came and started sniffing me. I kicked, I push, and I yelled. But they all laughed. I'm afraid of dogs... laughing doesn't help...

The dog took the doll I played and I pulled it back. I realized I was biting the doll. I let go. I ran around until I saw someone move the same time I did. I came back. I saw...a dog.
