Today too, I opened my eyes to the sunlight coming through the window.
In my cozy room in a small cabin built on a green meadow.
Today, too, everything was beautiful. Birds were chirping, the breeze was refreshing, and in the distance, I could see a free plane carrying passengers.
I came out of the room as if I was used to it, drank a glass of cold milk that was on the table, and went out of the house.
Before I knew it, the surroundings were no longer green pastures but dense forests. However, they weren't completely green.
I wandered around there naturally and met him again.
"Hello, miss. You're back again."
That unidentified person I always meet when I come here.
"I clearly told you not to come here anymore last time, but what brings you here today? What's bothering you?"
He's a magical person who always tells me not to come here, but then kindly asks me about my worries.
Because of his words and kind actions, I always carefully open up my worries to him.
After I poured out my worries like that,
"It must have been hard. But, miss, don't come to me anymore. The more you come to see me, the harder it will be for you."
The ending is the same. I've come to take it for granted how he spits out the same words every time, without a single word of change.
But I don't believe everything he says. Look, even now, I told him not to come, and he still doesn't welcome me. He's strange. It's like he's a magician who can read my mind.

I opened my eyes to the chill air. A worn, shabby room, familiar yet unfamiliar. The atmosphere was strangely eerie. My whole body ached, as if I'd been injured somewhere. Looking around, I realized it was someone's home, but I couldn't figure out why I was lying there.
Where am I? Countless questions raced through my mind, and at some point, my memory faded.

When I opened my eyes again, I woke up in my familiar, cozy room. I guess that eerie room was just a passing nightmare.
Perhaps because I hadn't slept well, I was exhausted the moment I woke up. As usual, I sat up and drank a glass of milk from the table. I missed him so much. So, as always, I pretended not to notice what he had said and went to see him.
As expected, as I wandered through the lush, colorful forest, I saw an old man in the distance. I happily called out to him and ran towards him. I wanted to tell him about the strange dream I had that day and hear his reassurance that it was all just a nightmare.
"mister!"
"Hello, miss. You're back again."
I guess it was a lie that I always told you not to come back.
I definitely thought so... but this time something was strange. I noticed this strangeness when the old man opened his mouth to say something else.
"I told you last time not to come back. Even if you keep coming to me, reality won't change. Now open your eyes and look at the reality you've been ignoring."
After saying that, the old man suddenly disappeared. As if there were no more illusions, he disappeared completely cleanly.
And then I realized.'Ah, this isn't reality.'The realization came in a flash, and the forest around me darkened, fading into indistinct shapes. I squeezed my eyes shut.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a shabby room with an eerie air. It was old and shabby, a room that felt familiar yet unfamiliar.

Hello. I am the author :)
It's been a while since I've written a post! I wanted to write more lengthy articles, but circumstances didn't allow for this, so I'm only back with a short post, which is a bit disappointing...😂
Maybe it's because it's been so long, but writing feels awkward... After writing more, I feel like it might have been too dark, so I feel particularly regretful about this post.
As for other articles, I would like to conclude this post by saying that although it will be difficult to do so right now due to a long hiatus, I will try to write and bring them back when I have time in the future.
Thank you to everyone who reads :)
If you don't mind, please send me a message!
Thank you for reading🙇♀️
