A typical rainy day, gloomy, medium downpour, cooling, but not so windy. Everyone was waiting under the asbestos roof, standing, except Kevin and I. We were playing cards, sitting opposite each other on a bench, in between us a canteen table made of wood.
The white gate nearby opened. Jared called all of us to stack the benches beside the gate, under the leafy tree. I was carrying two benches in my right arm. I laughed at Kevin because he could only carry one.
Most people around us have gone out; passed the gate. Some were still reluctant to leave the grounds. Jared piggy backed me into the outside world, drenched in rain water. As I looked back, the scene was dark, still raining, and muddy.
Still on Jared's back, we were on a path. A hilly place. Fresh green grass and some trees around us. It became sunny. All of a sudden, we appeared to be in a mini 4-seater van/truck with a mid-aged driver. Cars followed behind, still passing many greens and trees.
The garden path became grey, polished pavement. Classy black street lights along both sides of the pavement lead us to a scenic view of a palace. That was not our destination, so we passed.
We reached a huge roundabout where many tourists' buses parked. The place seemed like a historical site, crowded with tourists in shades and umbrellas. A stretch of market was aligning the stone walls of the historical site.
The van we sat in went round the roundabout and took off at the opposite direction. It went down a slope, like a roller coaster except that this ain't one. Jared and I felt shocked and held each other tightly. The van landed on a normal road, surprisingly no damage nor impact. Everything seemed normal, so we continued the journey.
After a small stretch of road, we were driven off a cliff, right below us was the sea. The chance of survival is near impossible, as the height was greater than the greatest skyscraper.
Falling..falling..falling.. crash! Water rushed in.
I got out from the nearest window, dragging Jared along. Such great pressure pushed me back into the van. Struggling.. finally managed to exit, and reach the shore. Both of us grasping for air, laying on flat stones. Then I realized nearly every living things around us were frogs; colourful and dog-sized. Murlocs! The driver walked up to us, looking uninjured. I asked, "what were you trying to do?". He replied "It's my job, everyone who comes are supposed to get killed, though I know I'm risking my life."
A short, stubby witch-like person suddenly appeared beside the driver. Before I could say anything, I looked back and realized black oil oozed out of Jared's mouth. The black oil then turned into random objects. I begged the stubby person to stop the curse, begged her not to harm him, begged her to give us a new life.
I realized I was shrinking. The witch yelled with an evil laughter "You want a new life? You get a new life!" I was turned into a tadpole the size of a persian cat. Slimy, black, half-grown, with four short limbs and a tail, crawling into the shallow part of the lake-like sea (surrounded by mountains).
Jared stood there, stunned. The witch said "You'll need a monkey and a goat for this." He looked around and there was a goat. Three women had it by the bonfire. Jared grabbed me, ran up to grab the goat and rushed towards the chrome coloured gate. It has to be the exit! The three women chased after him. He ran and dived into a strong-current stream, water flowing downwards. Sliding down, along with the current... right..left...right...left... trying to avoid some rocks and pirates that pops out from behind the rocks.
The stream went a long way down till Jared hit another gate. It was closed! This was the real exit from that horrible place to the real world! He climbed the rusted grill just beside the gate. It was covered in green moss and some twining plants. The three women, dressed in police outfit (weird things happen in dreams), caught up and climbed too.
Jared climbed to the peak of the grill and found a stone wall, across the stone wall was a pavement. He jumped over and started running. A few other people were running together with him, they were trying to find a way out too. Up ahead, the pavement ended. There were stone steps that lead to the other side of the pavement. Besides those steps, there were nothing else...just a deep i-dont-know-whats-down-there. Suddenly, wings appeared on Jared's back and he began to fly. The others hopped across. (This whole stretch of pavement looked like the Great Wall of China). A stone shelter lies ahead. Everyone went in. From the pocket, Jared took a test tube filled with monkey blood, along with a capsule containing blended monkey's heart. A random person volunteered to drink the blood and the capsule. Jared's wings disappeared. There was a sudden breeze. I returned to my normal figure. I'm human again!
