I woke up in bed and realized no one was home. Other than my grandpa who could barely function, but then I realized he’s gone too. “Where is he??” I thought. I looked outside and saw a large green prairie with giant plants like watermelon and pineapple and other sorts of fruits. I walked out of the house and went to explore the strange area, hoping to find my grandpa while I’m at it. It’s very quiet but I can hear the breeze of the wind passing by and the sound of someone cutting something on a cutting board. I turn the corner and suddenly... it’s like 500° outside. I start sweating and becoming really thirsty but then I see my grandpa! I ran up to him and asked him, “What’re you doing here?” He told me he’s just cutting up some fruit for himself and I see at least 10 containers of different fruits packed in them next to him. He tells me to go back inside and that he’ll be back soon. I assured myself that he’s alright and that he’s probably been here for a long time. So I walk back home but when I open the door, I walk into my other grandma’s house. I get an unsettling feeling of being there. No one is really there except my grandparents but they’re ignoring me. I decide I wanted to go to the mall, so I go and put on my make up but the lights won’t work. I try my best to force them to work but they would just flicker and not turn on. But then my vision also keeps turning on and off, which really didn’t help because it was around 8 pm and it was dark out. I was about to give up when I decided to go to my grandparents room to do my make up. I opened the door and it was really dark in there. I found my way to their bathroom and I turned on the lights but my avail, they flickered, then turned off. I groaned in annoyance and decided to go barefaced. But the door to the room closed and I started freaking out. I ran up to the door but I couldn’t find it, my vision was going dark and my limbs were feeling tight and I could barely move except breathe heavily. I closed my eyes hoping whatever was happening would stop. But then I hear chattering, the sound of people talking. I open my eyes and I’m relaxed. I’m at my local landing. It’s a place with different outdoor outlets. And I’m with my dad! I’m not alone finally. I walk with him and we’re just basically wandering around. Until we stumbled upon a mini mart(?) We entered and it smelled like a gas station. We walked around until I blinked and suddenly I’m at the mall. I start walking and see a small Panera Bread stand and walk up to it and then I become friends with this girl whom I have never met in real life but I suppose I’ve just seen her face. We start chatting and walking around until she stops me and goes to ask a police officer of various stores in here. She comes back to me and asks, “Mrs. Anderson is here, wanna go say hi?” Mrs. Anderson is my english teacher and I love her so much but I’m also afraid of her. She intimidates me. Reason why is because she’s such a cool, smart, person and I have no idea how to be friends with a person like that. I’m afraid the friendship would be ruined fast. Anyways. I say no thanks but she pulls me with her anyways. We stop in front of the store my teacher works at she goes in as I stay outside. I sigh a sad sigh. I peek into the store from the corner and see them talking. I quickly pull back and leaned against the wall. My friend soon walks out and tells me, “She says she wants to talk to you and that she understands.” My friend then hugs me and walks away. I look down to see if i’m presentable and realize I’ve been in my pajamas this whole time. I stop my friend and tell her I’m not presentable and she agrees. She tells me to go buy whatever and I tell her I don’t have any cash. So she just gives me clothes from her purse and walks away. (I can’t believe i did this) I took off my clothes in public and put on the clothes she gave me. I walked into the store very nervous and walked up to my teacher. I said hi and smiled and said hey back. And then I’m assuming the dream cut to me walking out the store with a smile on face. and then i woke up.
