I had never seen a more beautiful February morning, as dreary as February is, this particular morning was bright, crisp, and the air was lacking the usual smog and smell of a stale rain. I walked through that frosted field with a purpose, quickly, steadily. I knew my mother would be calling me for breakfast with in the hour, and I had to reach my destination before then. I was headed for a hill, one of the only hills around. And on that hill stood a large oak tree. The tallest and most magnificent tree I had ever seen. It was my haven, my refuge from all of my trails and tribulations. That oak tree was one of my only friends it seemed, and I visited everyday. I told it all of my secrets, my hopes, my dreams. That tree was a great listener, I would climb high in the branches and read, or simply watch the sun go down. But today I merely stood there in awe of it's towering bare branches I smiled, and shuffled home, already eager to return.

I jolted awake as the first bit of air leaked into my lungs. I found myself choking as I was frantically gasping for more and more but my throat wouldn’t allow it. As I proceeded to calm myself down I began to take in my surroundings. My attempt to sit up was rejected by a stern grip that lacked a face to accompany it. I began to feel the same motion sickness as I do when I take off in an airplane but my efforts to calm my stomach ceased. Before me, a creature with blue skin and glowing green eyes told me that I was being taken to the hospital after I fell and cut my knee- after all, that’s what I told my mother needed to happen.

Said he with the spectacles, knowledged and wise: "A story for me you shall write in no more than five scores of words." "It shall be done," replied they, admiring and awed by his decree, and they dispersed to appease him.
