When Peter fell asleep, he was in his own bed. When he woke, he had all the pretty little ponies.
And the ponies sang.
It was nothing like “My Little Pony”: no pastel colors, no expressive cartoony faces, nothing even remotely humanoid. The ponies were exactly like real-world ponies.

But the day after his 7th birthday, the poster looked strange — no longer a comic book but now a cut out of a real-life Iron Man on the cover of a magazine called GQ.

As he rubbed his eyes, and pushed himself up to a regular sitting form, he took a look in all directions, east, north, south, west. Earth was filled with bright colors, unlike anything little Oliver had ever seen before. Ever since the bomb was dropped upon London, the world had been a painful gr...
“Night, Adira!” My mom said as she walked away from my bedroom. My head hit the pillow as I immediately fell asleep. When my eyes opened again I was in a forest with a smile staring down at me. I immediately recognized the character. The Cheshire Cat. One of the most devilish and clever characters to exist. I smiled back my best rendition of a Cheshire Cat smile. I stood up and climbed onto the tr...
“Goodnight Jeremy” his mother says as she kisses him on the head and softly closes the door behind her. He sighs and looks around the dark room with his childish eyes, then pulls the cover up over his head and slowly falls asleep.
Jeremy wakes up with a start, and looks around in wonder. What once was his boring wood bedroom, is now a jungle full of vines and flowers. He sits up sharply and looks ...
