I lay mesmerized from the position on my
back, staring up at the cloudless sky. It was as blue as a robin’s
egg—if not more blue. The sun shone extremely bright, but the rays
did not scorch my skin. The air was comfortable. Very comfortable. It
was the perfect temperature. Warm, without being too warm, and no
humidity.
I did not move.
I was afraid to move in case this was all
just a dream and any slight stir would make it vanish, throwing me
back into tormented reality. It must be a dream, right? Clearly, I
had busted my head against the tree trunk and knocked myself
out...And I was only imagining this while Zaylie, I was sure, was
worried and trying to wake me up. Right?
I could feel the grass beneath me. Soft,
lush, exquisite. As if I lay against the perfect bed made just for
me. I was Goldilocks, and it was just
right.
A colorful bird soared above me. But as it
descended closer, obscuring my view of the sky, I realized it was not
actually a bird at all. It was the strangest butterfly I had ever
seen. Its wings were a rainbow of colors - and it was huge. Bird-like
huge.
But I didn’t feel frightened or grossed
out like I usually did by insects. This was different. It felt
different here. The butterfly flapped its wings so gently and
effortlessly. I numbly reached up while it landed weightlessly on my
fingers.
The moment it
touched me and started cleaning its antennae, even though I could
barely feel it on me, I got the striking feeling that this was real.
Very real. I quickly sat up, causing the vivid butterfly to take
flight again, and gazed around the beauteous expanse encircling me.
