Bottle of Stories (63)

He never thought that he would see the sky sparkling like what he sees right now. The trees whistled, and the grass danced as the wind blows. He was lying on the ground, feeling the soft breeze of nature. It was a surreal experience. He wished that real life is beautiful like this one. There are no pain and conflict around. It is just him and his surrounding. He switched his head to the right saw a figure beside him. He immediately inhaled and held his breath. "Don't be so surprised, Mister. It is me, Kid from the earlier." "When did you get here?" Jayson said with furrowed brows. "We played hide and seek and I just decided to stay here instead," he said enthusiastically. "So you ditched your playmates?" He quickly raised his upper body and clapped once.  "Please do not tell them!" he begged. Jayson let out a big sigh. "I want this to end now. This is taking too long." "You should not think too much." Kid lied o...

"My suspicions are right," said Kid who appeared out of nowhere. "Is this a warning that something is going to happen here." The guardian of dreams remained quiet letting the cold sweat run down to his cheeks. Jayson felt that he needed to respond because his guardian seems to be nervous around Kid. "Just what I've said earlier, we're here to observe." "Then Mr. Dreams are interested in humans?" They remained silent. "Great news! Enjoy your stay here. I will pretend that this is the first time I met you." He pointed the guardian of dreams. Then he disappeared like nothing happened. "I'm scared! I thought he is gonna teleport us to another place. When that happens, everything becomes swirling and twisting and spinning..." "If you don't want that to happen, then why you made this dream so realistic anyway?" "Because you want the truth!" "You can just turn us invisible!" "You can...

It was dawn when they found the animal. If this happened in the real world, Jayson would have already found the piglet in a matter of seconds using his ability. He was walking; still carrying the boy on his back, while the boy is carrying the piglet on his arms. "I am really grateful for your help, Mister. You can now put me down and I will walk my way to the barn." "No." He said as his sweat ran down on his face. "Why? You are tired of carrying me like this and you need to rest." "It is our duty, as a complete human to help disabled people like you. You suffered from the day you are born in this world and we should do everything we can to make you feel better." "I may not see the beautiful things around me but there you are proving me that I'm wrong. Your kindness is beautiful." There is a girl who appeared on the distance and waved her arms. "Kid, let's play together with our friends!" "Later Lealyn, I haven...

"What is your name?" asked the light green-haired guy. "I'm Jayson," he replied. "Good! I'll be your guide today. Follow me." He started singing a song about life on a farm while walking. In the forest near the grassland, they followed the path of tiles made of rock. "Are you really the same person? You act differently," Jayson asked. "Yes, but some of my memories were removed by him." The scent of the freshness of their surrounding made them pause. They gaze at the small village enclosed by a huge and almost circular-looking farm. "He hates humans, doesn't he? I'm talking about the one manipulating this dream." "I don't think so, he is a calm and composed person." "Nevermind what I said." He continued to walk. "In this world, we are travelers. We explore many places to observe their culture because, at this time, there are only a few records about this country." "Why do w...
