I won the Lottery!
#WritcoStoryPrompt3
I read it once, then twice. I wasn't imagining it - I had won the lottery!
For a moment, all movement paused, thoughts went silent, all I could hear was my racing heart pounding, palms began to sweat, a loud shout brewed in my belly, feet got ready for a lift off the ground expressing extreme joy. That sure felt like a slow motion movie scene. All my dreams were finally coming true.
It was in the evening so I had to keep my lottery ticket safe. I slid it under my pillow in hopes to fetch my millions in the morning.
My excitement couldn't let me sleep so, I started imagining my new life until I dozed off. Early in the morning I slid my hand under the pillow and my ticket wasn't there. I tried not to panic but, the thought of losing my riches couldn't let me be. I couldn't understand why is my ticket missing and why am I wearing different pyjamas unless.. unless it was just a dream.
