Come back ...
Sunlight fell on my eyes and woke me up... someone had put me in a box ... disgusting... I got up and dusted my skirt. Its so dark out here... I was scared but I tried to climb up towards the light my only escape ... I was feeling so light today and in no time I reached the crack ... it was small I tried to squeeze through it... wow who taught me this... I could not remember now. Some children were playing near my house but I could not recognize any of them. They seemed to not notice me so I too ignored them and moved towards my house.

The house was looking different today as if they had painted it again. The gate was half open... i stood on the rail and tried to move it the way I always did to take a small ride... but it was jammed today. An old lady was sitting on the wheelchair with her eyes closed. She looked so familiar but I could not resognize her... I went near her she changed her pose in sleep. I went inside the house ... mom had changed all the furniture again... but it was looking nice I started calling my mom loudly... no one responded... I went to the kitchen but some new maid was working there instead of mom.

I decided to go to my room. I climbed the stairs I was almost gliding ...i loved this new trick. The maid was calling Nora now ! Nora...who Nora ? Suddenly a little girl ran past me ... she almost knocked me down. I grunted but she cared little to even stop. Where is my mom ... who are these people in my house... I was getting so pissed off now. I entered my room. Good God !! What hell is this ... all my toys were gone... I started to see around.... Nora's books were lying on the table... some toys were there but not like the ones I had...I saw the calender... 15 Nov 2019... 2019... 2019! but it's 1919 now ... yes it's 1919

Suddenly my legs started to burn ... I was unable to walk now... I was getting pulled to the window ... I was pulled out ... I didn't fall... I was flying... my mind says I must reach the cave again ... I was very very sleepy... I was gliding in the air... children were riding on the gate below me ... I reached the crack and slipped through it... I found the box ... I have to sleep now... I have to sleep...
