After the Hit

jake wakes up in a dream like world. He meets a new friend and learns all about where he is but, does he believe it?

I open my eyes and see a glare from the sun. I can't believe I slept until morning. I put my hand on the ground to help lift myself up but something doesn't feel right. The ground feels light and fluffy. I quickly look to the side and see that I'm on the ground laying on grass outside. I rub both my eyes to clear my head and i sit up. I look around and see beautiful trees all over the place which are tons of different colors. Some have green leaves while others have orange, pink, blue, and even combinations of each of the colors. It's extremely warm here. I can see birds flying around and landing but they look nothing like the birds I see around my house, they too are multicolored very strangely. There is a small stream to my left that flows quietly. This place is so calming it's insane. 

I look down and see that I'm now wearing a sleeveless shirt and basketball shorts. I'm glad because of the heat. It's very sunny but, the light is blocked by the tall trees. It's pretty humid which is obviously because of all the foliage around. I stand up and look around. I must be dreaming even though this place looks and feels so real. I can feel the heat from the sun on my face, and the grass between my toes. I can hear the birds and the stream when all of the sudden,

"Welcome!" yells a high pitched male voice. I fall down because I'm so surprised. I could have swore i was here by myself. "I have never seen you around here before! What are you supposed to be?" The creature has long back legs and has a hunched back. The bottom half of him looks kind of like a frog but, he has long arms. He has feet and hands both with five digits coming off of them. It seems like he has a posable thumbs like a human does. He is about three feet tall but if he stood up all the way he would be about five feet so he's not huge. He has a long neck that looks to be about six inches and a big head. He has big cheeks and almost cartoonish eyes. At the top of his head he has a tuft of fur. He is also completely green besides his legs and feet which slowly fade to a darker blue. He looks like a creature straight out of a Doctor Suess book. 

"So are you going to say anything?" The green monster looks at me. Even though he is very strange looking he doesn't appear to be dangerous.

"Sorry i was just a little startled." I say. "Who or... what are you?"

"Well I am Kramm, and I'm a river dweller. I live by the river and eat the fish! Who and what are you?" He says this with a smile, a huge creepy smile

"My name is Jake. I'm a human from Earth. I know this is just a dream and i'll wake up pretty soon anyways. I smoked some weed and that must be why I'm having such a weird dream." 

"Weed you say?!" His eyes widen and he turns his head to the side. His smile stretches his cheeks. None of his teeth are showing which i suspect to be sharp and probably not very clean.

"Yeah do you know what it is?" I ask him

"Know what it is?! HA! That's like asking someone if they know who Mary is!." Kramm says and starts laughing hysterically. 

"I mean I don't know who that is." I reply

"Is there no Mary on Earth?" Kramm asks with a puzzled face.

"Well I don't know what Mary is so..." Kramm cuts me off and begins talking

"Mary is everything around us. She controls the sky, the water, the wind and everything else you can think of! Mostly she is a feeling and not a real creature at all." Kramm finishes and looks at me

"Like God?" I ask him

"Hmmm God? What is God?" Kramm asks with a puzzled look. It's always very easy to tell what emotion Kramm is feeling.

Since I'm not the religious type at all and don't feel like explaining what I, myself, can barely understand, I just tell him "Basically the same as what you explained." 

"So it's the same but different where you're from! yes yes it is!" He jumps up and down. Apparently he is very excitable. "Weed is so important because people say that's what you use to see Mary and communicate with her." 

"Sounds a little trippy" I say to him

"Wait a minute! Legions say that when the lands have seen dark times for many, many, years Mary would send down a child to bring brightness back into the world! Are you that child?" Kramm has a more concerned look on his face. He is staring deep into my eyes like he is almost reaching my soul.

"I don't think so. Back where I am from people just smoke weed when they are bored and it just makes you feel happy. Honestly the first time I had ever smoked it was last night or, I'm guessing it was last night? What time is it anyways?"

"Well looking at the shade off the trees I would say its about a click past a gigaglore." Kramm says

"Well, that's not exactly how we tell time on Earth but whatever, I'll just wake up eventually and it will be the next morning. I have so many questions for you like, why you speak english but don't use all of the same terms I do but, whats really puzzling me are what are these dark times?" Kramm looks very interested in what I am saying. He is kneeling and holding his head up with both his hands while he looks directly into my eyes.

"This may be a long story but I can try to tell the whole tale." Kramm tells me about the old days before there was weed and when everyone lived their lives without knowing anything about the supernatural world. Apparently during this time Kramm was not alive. One day there was a huge fire in the village where all the creatures lived. The fire destroyed everyones houses and took many lives. The people inhaled the smoke from the fire and that is when they said they first saw Mary. Kramm says that she was supposed to be the most beautiful women anyone had ever seen and it was agreed through out all the races of creatures. She said that everything would be all right and she helped them rebuild the village. After it was built she told them about how her powers came from the marijuana plants. She created the first bowl, bong, and bubbler for all of the creatures to use. At this point I can't take it anymore and start laughing.

"Dude, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. There is no way any of this stuff ever happened." I say to him

"You mock the words of Mary! You better not do that!" Kramm yells

"Why what will happen?" I ask him with a very sarcastic tone.

"Actually, nothing... Mary has not been seen for many years and I was telling you how that happened but you cut me off!" Kramm points at me when he says "you" and then crosses his arm with an angry expression on his face.

"Fine, fine. I'm sorry. Even if it is crazy it was an interesting story so please continue." I say to him

Kramm smiles and picks back up where he left off. He talks about the three big B's which are of course the bowl, the bong, and the bubbler. He mentions that Mary taught them how to plant marijuana and how to harvest it so the people would be able to talk with her forever. "This is where the bad times begin Jake, the very very bad times" Kramm says. He says that it is basic nature to feel greed and three kings split up the first bowl, the first bong, and the first bubbler. After years and years of fighting one another and poisoning each others weed fields, all the weed in all the lands was gone, and it had been like this for some time. Kramm's world has different measurements of time so I'm not exactly sure how long it's been but I know it has been at least a couple decades in Earths time.

"And that is why you are the key. If you are the son of Mary then that means you can do anything your heart desires." Kramm says to me

"What does that even mean? I ask.

"It means exactly what it sounds like!" He says back. "If you concentrate you should be able to fly, or produce limitless gallons of water out of your mouth or most importantly, create miles and miles of new weed fields!" Kramm starts to jump up and down. "We need to go to the king of Bowls. That's the kingdom I live under and the king i answer to. Please you have to come quickly, quickly!" Kramm jumps on a rock on the small brooke and jumps to the other side all while humming.

"Strange place." I think to myself "But hey at least this will be an interesting dream." I start to walk up to the brooke and look around as I do this. This place truly is amazing. If I ever had to imagine what Heaven was like, this scene right here, right now, would be exactly what I would picture.
