A Very Strange Dream
It was a beautiful night and he was tasting his favourite blend of coffee sitting on his balcony facing the ocean. News was playing on the TV and he smelled his favourite dish being prepared in the kitchen by his beautiful wife. He listened to the tides of the sea as it were running towards the beach to cherish the it with a warm hug.
Suddenly every thing became as if someone have muted the whole universe. He stood and watched as he was surrounded by a bright white light. He shut his eyes because of its eye piercing brightness.He felt cold, just opposite to what he expected from a bright light. He felt like a feather, moving up to the unknown. He felt as if was not in control of his body as the coffee cup fell from his hands to the ground below. He tried to open his eyes but was not able to. He saw that change in shades through his little opened eye lids. what could it be???
The next thing he knew was his body against a cold wall. He opened his eyes slowly and found nothing. He found himself to be standing in an empty white room with no doors or windows. He was alone and he was able to hear his own breaths. That's when he heard lot of whispers like those who were talking didn't want him hear the words. He tried to shout and call for help but even though his felt his tongue and lips move nothing came out of it. He had become voiceless. He banged on the walls of that room hoping someone would hear that thud but the room was just like his body a place with life in it but no voice of its own. He tried to scream but all that came out was air through his mouth.
The next thing he felt was a tingling sensation on this shoulders. To his amazement it was his arms. They began to stretch out like a noodle but he didn't felt any pain. For him both his hands felt like rubbery. This made him remember of that Stretch Armstrong toy which he used to have when he was a child. Those arms elongated like rubber and it began to move freely in that room. This made him realize that he is no longer in control of his body. Like two snakes his hands began to move and slowly it turned towards him. He tried to scream but nothing came out of him. All that he could do was to let it happen.
Those hands moved towards him and began to move around him one in a clockwise and the other in an anticlockwise direction. Soon he realised that his hands were tying him up from his feet and in the end both his hands tied with eachother like an unbreakable chain bond.
It began to squeeze him gently at first then after some time it tighten it's grip around him. He struggled to breath and slowly his vision became blurred due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Just few seconds before he lost his consciousness he felt the tightness around him is loosening up. He breathed heavily as oxygen pumped into his lungs.
But that was not the end of it.To his amazement a small hatch opened from the bottom of the room and from that a metallic chair began to rise up. The chair was all purple and black in colour with straps on it. Different thoughts and confusions flooded his mind about what is going to happen next.
His elongated hands grabbed the handles of the chair and pulled his body towards it. His basic instincts urged him to protest but he was not able to hold on any longer. He was forced to sit on that chair. As he sat on it multiple straps began to fasten around him. On his waist then his chest and on his legs. He felt a kind of warmth on his shoulders as his hands began to comeback to its original form. Slowly his hands lost its elongated nature and it came back to its original form. Something in his mind told him to lay his arms in the armrest and he followed that thought. As he placed both his hands on that armrest suddenly two straps made of a black meterial strapped on it.
Now he was sitting in that chair his whole body strapped. Suddenly he felt a slow movement in the chair like it was activating. To his amazement the colour of the room began to fade.He saw tiny spots of light in front of him like tiny LED lights. Slowly but steadily the whole room began to become transparent. All the four walls, the top and bottom of the room became see through like glass. What he saw sent a chill down his spine. He was surrounded by different clusters of stars and strange space dusts which shines with the light from a nearby star. He looked like he was sitting on levitated strapped chair in a distant star system and he actually was.
The small buzz of the chair began to get intensified. The whole chair began to vibrate and began to roll in its own axis. Slowly at first it began to move like a tornado. He tried to shout and scream in fear but nothing came out of his mouth. He felt his muscles began to tighten due to that immense speed and vibration of that chair. That speed became so intense he felt that he is lossing his consciousness. Thousands of different lights sparkled and began to fade in front of his eyes before he closed it.
He regained his senses after feeling a thud, like falling from a tree kind of sensation. He slowly opened his eyes and he found himself to be sitting in the balcony and he heard his wife calling him for dinner. For him every thing felt so real he felt like days have gone by. He stood up a uttered some random words like he was making sure that he could talk and he was able to hear his own voice. He looked to the table and found out his coffee mug was missing. It was not able to find it anywhere near him. He thought maybe his wife took it to the kitchen while he was "Sleeping" in the chair. As was about to go inside his room a strange smell touched his nose and suddenly he realised that it was the smell of his coffee.
He understood that the smell came from above the balcony where the water tanks are being kept. He climbed the stares and reached the top of his house. As he entered that area something cracked below his feet. Slowly he pulled up his feet. He gasped with shock as he realised that it was a part of his coffee cup. He walked slowly and he saw that coffee was splattered all over the top floor and the broken shreds of his coffee mug was everywhere around him. He slowly began to pick up the pieces of his mug. As he did that he found a small crack on the floor as if the cup fell from a great height...The coffee splattered on the floor was reflecting the moonlight from above..
