Good Morning

Opening chapter? I suppose.

I awaken to the sounds of birds chirping. I open my eyes and I stare up at the ceiling for a long time. I try to recognize the ceiling. As I continue to stare, a thought dawns upon me.

This is not my ceiling, I thought. This is somebody else's ceiling. I close my eyes and turn on my side calmly, rustling the bedsheets I was sleeping under. I hold onto the soft pillow under my head and lay on the mattress with no urgency to find out where I was.

Who cares, I thought. No one is bothering me. I'll just sleep some, and I'll return to reality once more, just like I entered this dream. I turn my head downwards and pulled up the soft covers over my head.

Let's go to sleep again, I thought to myself, sighing.
