Once Upon a Dream : Introduction

My heart felt like it was about to thrust itself out of my chest. It fluttered like bat, and as the moments slowly passed by, it got quicker - harder. My head was spinning. Of course, I had fallen in again. I couldn't help it. 

Though my past had come back and haunted me in my dreams ever since I've been locked up in this cellar, my mind was the only place where I felt safe anymore. My husband was dead. My family was missing. I was practically going unhinged over my grievances. On top of all of that, I was accused for committing a crime in which I had nothing to do with.

Compared to this, insanity seemed like a paradise. A made-up fairy tale that people from reality had made just so the children had something to look forwards to. Ah, how it was to be a child! Not a care in the world. No responsibilities, no taxes, no losses... and even more important, a bigger sense of imagination and creativity. 

What happened to us? We were once brilliant beings as children, always viewing the world in ways that no one has ever seen. As we grow older and "wiser", the world we see becomes bland and simple. We trade in our true intelligence for the fake stuff. I see it pitiful.

We're the only things that keep this planet moving. All of our creations, our ideas,  our history - it makes Earth the way it is, and it's beautiful! Full of such excitement! Where have our imaginations gone? Can we no longer become so inspired to make a change that we go mad?

Is the human-race losing their true purpose?

Very compelling introduction. Loved the wording and the completeness of the sentences. I also like the in-depth questions the narrator proposes; very philosophical and abstract. Very good start; not too revealing nor too much info-dumping. Kept the veil of vagueness, very nice. Really amazing start! :)

Nice Intro...gives you a glimpse of what the next part would be about. Loved the way you described the simplicity of a person when they were children.
