Pancakes, Dreams & Leaves

Dreams. One second you're awake, the next second you're not. The soul lifts off into the unknown abyss, trailing past foggy memories and pain. The pioneer of it all is the brain. Somedays, it tries to make you experience joy that you, whilst awake, would not experience. On the contrary, it may let you experience grief which you may or may not have already experienced in real life. Somedays it might not make you experience anything at all. Re-life, or the second life, often comes when you're asleep. Treading through multiple worlds all at once. How great is the brain, right? 

A broken glass isn't the same as a mirror.

Bongcloud: Episode 1

8:39AM. The sound of an alarm. Dishes, cups, glasses. A window. Sunlight. Oh, shit. 

Sunlight.

I wake up almost instantly. Oh, man. I look at my alarm clock.

"It's 9AM already?". I sigh and quickly get dressed and head downstairs. "Hey ma."

She turns, her auburn hair swinging to the right as she looks at me. She smiles.

"Oh, you're awake." She moves swiftly to the oven, taking out a bunch of pancakes. Just like she used to make them. "I made you pancakes, hon. Here". She takes out a plate and throws as many as she can onto it. 

And me being a huge pancake lover, I'm already drooling. This was exactly like the other one used to make them for me too. I gulp them all down in a few bites, wipe my face with a napkin, and begin to leave the house. 

As I leave, a single cherry blossom leaf falls to the left of me.
