She laid there
wondering why. Why had he gone and left her behind? Why did he just leave
without saying a word, or a note? How come he laid down and went to the
"world" without her? She had been pondering this event for a quite a
few moments now, and yet still pondering it.
It was 4 hours
before she finally passed out from thought exhaustion. Dreamless. She did not
enter the world tonight, for she had exhausted her mind. When morning came her
husband was lying there next to her with his big green eyes staring down at
her. She blinked a few times to bring everything into focus. "I'm
sorry," was his response when she glared at him. "Why do you do that?
More like how?," she asked him. "I don't know. I'm just comfortable
around you…?"
With that answer she
decided to leave the questioning him alone. It was true, he was very
comfortable around her. Ever since they met, he's been able to just simply
relax and be himself.
It was a few months
after they met that they learned about the world. Best adventure when you're
with someone. She wondered what it was like when he went in alone without her
and didn't appear later. She tried asking him once, but he never could explain it.
"It was different, a little confusing and lonely," he had once said.
Without him though
she couldn't get into the world. No matter how hard she tried to get in, she
always had dreamless sleeps that had her feel awful during the waking hours of
the day.
But the times
together were amazing! The colors of the world were so vibrant it made the
waking world seem so dreamlike. Anything and everything wonderful that could
happen, could and would happen.
There was one time
they went in together, they ventured out towards the other "lands"
that they found out there. So many different people out there. There was a man
with a large hat that could turn into a ship. There was a flower lady that her flowers
could change colors depending on the holders mood, so you didn't know what
color you would get until you held on to it. The wife was wonderfully amazed by
this and wanted to buy one. When she grasped the flower the flower changed from
a lukewarm yellow to a vibrant royal purple. Wonderful color! Everyone that was
there stared in amazement. That was one grand event in the world.
But here she was
stuck not being able to get in anymore. Just because her husband would fall
asleep first. What was so special about him?
