When I woke up, first thing in the morning, I was in a room where I was being held by a king sized bed that was dressed in all white covers. I was wearing a silky, silver gown and my nails and toe nails were done, freshly. My hair was long, by my side as if I had magically grown it in my sleep and I could feel a breath of fresh air coming into my window.

I stretched, taking in the breeze. It was too beautiful to be true, the air was gentle upon my skin and I wanted more. I slid out of the bed and walked to the window, what I saw next took me by surprise. I looked out of the window and down to find myself somewhere in the middle of the sky. I couldn’t believe where I was, I could barely see Earth. I knew I was high up because the view looked something like a movie and I could relate it to times I had spent in an airplane.

I couldn’t believe where I was and it was in that moment that the adventure began.

I walked away from the window, with my heart racing, and then tried to find a door. When I searched for the door I found it, as it was huge and large with gold knobs. I turned the knob and the door swung open, halfway on its own. In the hallway, I could see nothing but golden walls and I could hear a dinner happening somewhere not too far from where I was.

I wanted to make it to the dinner, I could hear the chattering and then laughter but I wasn’t sure how to get there. My feet were bare, I wanted to put on shoes, but there were none. As I looked down the hallway, to my left and to my right, I could tell the floors were going to be cold; and, not even a sock was in sight. I moved from the door and into the hallway where a long, white rug slid down towards the main room.

As I began to make it towards the main room, where I believed people were waiting for me, I found myself wondering why I didn’t smell any food. When I realized that I imagined a dinner but there was no smell of food I grew annoyed, immediately. I guess my expectations were too high, but I wanted to be around people who were going to feed more and keep me well. My body was rested, but I felt my stomach eating my back and from there I could tell that I hadn’t eaten in while.

How did I end up in the sky? Why was I hearing people, not seeing them or smelling food? Where were my clothes? What was happening to me? All of these questions began to make me ponder my existence and what I was doing. I needed someone to be there but it seemed as if no-one was around, despite the chattering in the background.

But, I didn’t give up, I pressed on. When I made it to the main room, there were endless book cases and in the corner I finally found a species that looked to be people but who felt majestic. the people. There was a group of 15 people who were in the corner with their books cackling like hyenas. They had cups of tea and coffee, sitting around a table while laughing about what they had just read. No, there wasn’t any food in sight, but when I sat down at the table they greeted me. Up close, I could tell they were from some foreign land because they had large wings coming out of their backs which were tucked, one, who seemed to be a compassionate leader said to me, “Welcome, to the Sky Fortress ran by The Angels of Knowledge Descent, we are here to bless you with more knowledge in order for you to soar higher.”
