I awake in a foreign land with not a semblance of anything recognizable. I wonder through the crowd and someone behind me takes notice of me. I sneeze. Knowing I am watched, out of the corner of my eye I look to see who in this place knows me. He has no arms. I have to get away from this man, he hates me deeply and I don’t know why. I’m running out of the village through a grass field towards the ocean because I think that he cannot swim without arms. I reach a cliff face with the ocean at the bottom and I jump without think. As I start to swim out, I look back and see him swimming after me. He’s swimming faster then me. He is at my heals by the time I reach the shore and he tackles me on the sand. He yells right into my face, “I MUST HAVE THE BLOOD OF MY EMENIES.” I struggle away and he doesn’t follow. The last thing I hear before the alarm clock: "Never keep a promise, Even to yourself..." - |
