The Boy Who Lucid Dreamed a Short Story
There's a story of a boy, we'll just call him, "The Boy"; and one day he was really sad. He felt like he wasn't enough for anything, or anyone. He tried not to let it show, but it spilled out on occasion. During the day, he'd meddle in his mind of all the ways he wasn't enough. But at night, he dreamt. He dreamt ALOT. Eventually he discovered an ability to lucid dream. He didn't care about the day anymore. He slept as much as he could. Having everything he'd ever wanted... in his dreams. Life, awake, didn't seem worth it; but life in his dreams was worth it all. So many dreamscapes and moments... but one day, for one reason or another... he was reminded of the world. Reminded of those who've helped him along the way and deserved to see him live his life in the real world. See who he'd become. So with that, he woke up. This is the story of that boy; The Boy Who Lucid Dreamed. THE 1st in a poetic trilogy dedicated to love, life, and dreams.
