I'm walking up a twisted staircase with no socks on. The steps are dark with swirls of greens, deep blues and purples, that would glow as I stepped on them. As I keep moving forward they seem to get brighter and brighter. I reach a door that is slightly cracked open, with a dim light peeking through the crack. It is parallel to the ground. I open the door to find myself outside in the middle of a desert at dusk, and think "where's my bathroom?"
I experience a sensation of falling up, and land on a cloud. I remember that it didn't feel exactly how I imagined it would. It was almost like being in water, as I had to "swim" to stay afloat. I could see stars. The moon looked fantastic. My arm starts to extend like a cherry picker, and right before I get to touch it, I hear:
"Brian..."
"Danny?"
I "swim" over to him and we fist bump/hug. He turns his back on me, and instead of swimming like me, levitates to the edge of the cloud. I follow suit and do the same thing effortlessly.
"Follow me," he proclaims with a lack of breath in his voice.
He dives off of the cloud. I follow.
Racing towards the ground, I see him just a bit ahead of me. He seems to be using his arms as propellers, gaining momentum. As I get closer to the ground, a sense of fear begins to spread throughout my body. We're heading towards the roof of a house at a quick speed. I do my best to catch up to him, and we make eye contact as we get nearly inches from the roof and,
STOP.
We are stuck in the air, just above the roof, not moving at all.
"Follow me," he again commands.
I see him bat his fists together and close his eyes. The veins in his body get bigger as he breathes heavily. Suddenly, a burst of light, and a transparent soul pops out of his body. He moves through the roof of the house. I squeeze my soul out of me, and look back at my body, still suspended in the air with x's replacing each iris.
I push through the roof and wander the house looking for Danny, not calling his name, but sending it in the air with my thoughts. I see his name moving through the air, highlighted with different colors and text designs.
I move down a dark hallway that looks like a dungeon. It's dusty, old, and riddled with huge spiders that have human mouths. The spiders spit at me, but I'm quick to dodge it and watch as that same liquid burns holes in the walls.
I get to the end of the hallway to find a dollhouse. I notice that the word, "Danny" is surrounding it, vibrating very quickly. My spirit shrinks in size, and I enter the dollhouse.
"DANNY! NO!"
I'm back in my body above the roof, and we're making eye contact again.
"I just wanted you to know," he said, and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
