Ficlets

Dreamstate

Cain and I have been in darkness for what seems like hours. Then, suddenly we are surrounded by blue light. It is soft,warm and low. It makes everything around us glow in these soft hues.

As I walk around I see what look like flowers.. These amazingly beautiful flowers, that look so very delicate and complex. these soft colors radiate from the inside of the flower.. they almost glow. The petals seem to emit a color independent to the center of the flower.

I try to touch the flower. But as I reach out to touch it. my hand reaches out to nothingness. Just an empty space infront of me. As my hand just floats around in empty space.

I walk away from this flower and I see more. Many more. The flowers change in size and color. I try to pick them to inspect them closer. But my hand can’t seem to reach them.

Cain looks at me in bewilderment. Are these real? He asks. I wonder if he is experiencing the same thing I am. This surreal confusion. Our eyes are playing games.
