Twist+-+The+Dream

=The Dream=

It was a sun-drenched morning up at the village in Khon Kean. I was driving around on my navy blue Honda wave 100. I was driving quickly with wind blowing through my long brown hair. I took a sudden foreign turn and saw a cluster of trees, I thought the fact was a bit odd; I stopped and parked my bike under a tree in the shade. I placed out my blanket spreading it out and laid myself down leaning against a large tree under the shade.

Usually when it’s this boiling out I would be drenched with sweat. Luckily I wasn’t. I was only warm and the wind was blowing a light breeze but it happened to be strong enough to keep me cool. I figured I must have dozed off because the next thing I know, abruptly lighting and thunder appeared. The sky was full of dark grey clouds. I started to pack up as it started to pour insanely. I hurriedly put the blanket back in the basket and tried to kick start the bike. After three tries the bike roared to life. I put it into first gear and drove off slowly at first, but the rain kept getting harder.

I got a couple of meters and kicked into second gear, then third. The rain that was striking my face felt more like hailstones than drops of water. The faster I went the harder the rain drops punched my face. Then I slid on a mud puddle and the bike came sliding down into a crash. I was wet, frightened and there was no one around. I left the bike where it was crashed by a tree and I as gently as possible pulled myself under a tree. My left knee and elbow was all scraped up and really bloody. I didn’t even feel it, it was like the left side of my body was paralyzed or something of the sort.

After about half an hour of sitting under a tree I finally saw someone approaching down the dusty and wet road. I swiftly stumbled to my feet and got up. I walked slowly to the central point of the road and I saw my sister slowly driving towards me. She stopped. She started towards me and then ran when she saw I was still bleeding.

"Dawn! What happened?? ” April spoke startlingly. I slowly started towards her and stumbled but she caught me. "I was trying to get home. Earlier today I came down here and I was just relaxing. I must have dosed off and when I woke it was raining," I replied. We walked together towards her truck and she helped me in, then she ran back and got my bike, put it in the back of the truck and got in.

"I’m going to take you home, then granny can patch you up, ” April said. I silently nodded and stared out the truck window. The sun was shining. There was no rain on the ground. It was all just a dream.
