Excerpt:
~Nari~
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.
