Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Sep 11, 2022

"Why is there only beauty in roses?
Why not the dandelion?
White as pure snow and as delicate as a feather
When it dances through the air it plants new seeds for more to follow
An unwanted soul, that continues to thrive
For a weed, I can only see its beauty."

"Where am I?" I think. I'm in a forest, I can feel the cold dirt under my feet, and the chilly night in the air. The only source of light is the full moon.

I start walking, the only sounds I hear are the winds that hit the hollow trees and the twigs and dead leaves I step on. Through the woods, I see a clearing. Just grass and the moonlight shining so brightly it's almost as if it's reflective.

As I walked deeper into the field I noticed that the footsteps I left behind grew Taraxacum erythrospermum(white dandelion), I picked one up, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and blew on it with all my might. I wished to get rid of my anxiety and make friends. Almost in an instant, I feel a gush of wind and I am now in a new location. My high school.

3 people came up to me, I can't make out their faces but, I know that 2 of them were females and one of them was male. I can't hear what we are talking about but we are all laughing and chatting.

The scene changes again, like a transition in a movie. We are at an amusement park playing carnival games and I won a stuffed crocodile. The locations kept changing, we were at a park and then hanging out at my house. We were all having so much fun, but then cracks start to form under my feet.

I fall through the ground and into darkness, I start to float but I am still heading downward. At least I think so. Then a screech fills my ears, and I wince from how loud it was, but I can't move to cover my ears. Suddenly, a crow lands on my chest, it doesn't do anything but stare at me. I try to communicate with the creature but no words come out.

The last thing I see is the crow flying into a growing light that then blinds me.

A strange comparison to a rose and a weed. There both great in my opinion, but I’ll be honest to say that I don’t want weeds in my garden as it would mess up my plants

Did you know it is believed that humans started
as double beings? Having two heads, four arms, and
four legs in a single body.

They say Zeus grew jealous of these beings and separated them. Condemning them to spend their lives searching for their other half.
Interesting isn't it?

These separated beings longed for each other every day and sometimes without realizing it. It is said that in a majority of cases these beings would forget their other half, and continue to live on without them, not knowing the cause of that longing for something missing.

As interesting as it is, this story is not about that. So, why tell you? You'll have to read and figure it out.

Our story is with Lenni Rei. After wishing all her life to be the outgoing person she dreamed of being, she wakes up the next day to find herself facing an out-of-body experience. What will she do, what will she discover, and how will she regain her life? What would you do, if you were in Lenni Rei's position? I wonder if your choices would have been any different from hers.
