a stick with a star symbol on it. I was firing the stick with lightening to light the cauldron. The Cauldron lit up then the scene changed to Teorjer and the young man who they were hugging each other and getting along great. Then they entered a purple chicken ship and the ship flew off. I can't wait to go home. I then dreamed I was in a white hallway. The end of the hallway was covered in white light.
I reached the white light and saw the three men, Teorjer, King Sea, and Ellison Donovan told me in sign language "Thank you."
Then I the scene changed to something else like I had a dream where I also dreamed of General Wickers having some kind of marriage ceremony to Valeria which involved having their right hands tied together with string and then kissing each other on the lips weird. I keep having weird dreams. I don't know why but it is ridiculous. I think I better pinch myself in case. Owe I dreamed of myself being pinched with a needle. I woke up in a room that is metal all around there is a metal door with a door knob. I felt myself wearing some rubber black suit.
The door open and a human version of a snake came in. the snake signed to me "It's all right; I'm not here to hurt you."
The snake said his name was Kokay. He signed I was in a case of ice a balloon creature split out at them. Then Kokay gestured for me to follow him. I noticed my feet were bare. I followed him out the room to a metal hallway. There were pipes on the ceiling. I felt like I was in some underwater drilling rig. We reached a big room and there were submersibles. About three of them in the color gray. He gave me my diary in a waterproof bag. I asked him why I was here. He explained he wasn't sure. He led me to a pool. He told me to put my hand in the pool. I did that and saw my hand changed to a webbed white hand. It was very weird. I put my foot in the pool and watched as my foot changed into flipper foot. I jumped into the pool and felt like my form changed into something with gills on the sides of my chest. I don't know why. Weird. I fell asleep and woke up facing Kokay. He told me in sign language that I fell asleep in the water. It explains my wet feeling. Kokay handed me some soup. It was algae and tasted like chicken. I asked Kokay where he learned sign language. He explained he was deaf too. This time Kokay and I were on an island that had a melting volcano. Kokay told me to go in the water and swim away.
I told him "Not without you."
Kokay told me he was dying anyway. He told me to go in the water and revert to my swimmer self. I went in the water and felt a change in me. I felt I had gills on my sides. I felt something clear plastics cover my eyes and my face like a mask. I was swimming in the ocean like a fish. It was very weird. Then the scene changed to show me in a forest wearing coveralls which I looked around. I saw my Mom and Dad ahead of me who are walking away from me. I'm running to catch up with them. They are getting farther and farther away. I reached a beach and I saw an island. My parents were walking on water. I can't believe it. I look to my left and I see an angel being of light that signs to me. The being told me my parents are okay. I would be safe soon then the scene changed like a dream which I dreamed of having sex with Bruce who disappeared once the ritual was done. Then I walked in the forest and then I saw Bruce there. We ran to each other and hugged. We walked to a beach and went in the water with our coveralls on. I felt something wrap itself around my leg. Bruce carried me out of the water. We checked my leg. I saw spines, which Bruce took out. I felt funny a bit weird. Bruce laid me on the beach. We sat there resting from swimming. Then I felt a gagging sensation. I felt I couldn't breathe. I went to the water with Bruce behind me and breathe the water. Bruce was shocked to see me do this then I passed out.
I woke up in a forest. I saw Kokay. He grabbed me and carried me to the beach. I looked behind him and I could see lava flowing from a mountain. Kokay put me in the water and I felt gills in my sides. I swam away in the water. I surfaced to see lava cover the entire island. I saw Kokay walked into the lava. I couldn't hear him scream. He went into the lava. Then the island sank into the water causing a big smoke to surface from the water then I passed out unconscious.
I woke up in a forest. I saw smoke in the distance and I walked towards the smoke. The sky was an orange color. It was very weird. I followed the smoke until I came to a smoldering house in ruins. The house was eerie familiar. It was very weird. I wandered around the house and went into the forest. I pulled out my diary. I started writing in here. I felt someone taps my shoulder and I looked to see a Banshee hit me with a tree branch. I passed out then I came to I was in the forest where the sky was orange. I looked around and started walking. Then I reached a smoldering house. I think the house was my grandparent's house from the looks of it. I'm not sure. I saw a Banshee again attack me with a tree branch. I ran away and fell into a hole. The hole seemed to be made out of metal. I slipped through it until I reached a room in the ground. The room had a table and chairs made out of wood. There was a lamp. I turned around to see a Banshee attack me with a tree branch. I grabbed the chair and whacked the Banshee hard on the head. The Banshee's head fell away and the body fell to the ground then I passed out and then I woke up in a forest again and saw the orange sky. What am I an alien? It is very weird. The sky was orange. I went to the rock I found and discovered it was really an egg. I hid behind a tree as a baby dragon about my height came out of the egg. Then the dragon wandered around. I walked until I reached a river. The water was red colored. I tasted it. It was salty. I looked up in the sky and I could see a dragon fly by. I have no idea what world I'm on except it could be Edenia but the sky doesn’t make any sense. I walked in the forest and found a house. I took a good look at the house. It was square looking with round windows. The house is white colored. There is a pool with blue water in it. I went inside the house and got a glass of water like I was its current occupant. I discovered the water was blue colored. I guess red for salt water and blue for fresh water. I'm surprised that this is an alien world. I saw Lydia reading a book who finished it. I think I'll ask her some questions.
Lydia seemed a little upset when I asked, "What planet is this?"
I told her about being in a coma for a few months. She told me the planet's name is Okapi. Oh. I remember there was a perfection law. I told Lydia about a dream about a perfection law. Lydia told me there was a law on Earth but not on Okapi. Oh well. I'm shocked that I'm on an alien planet and the year is 2001. I don't believe it. Lydia started cooking dinner. I saw a male and a female came to the house separately in different cars. I noticed one detail about the cars was they don't run on wheels. They seemed to be hover cars. I think it is very interesting. I asked Lydia why I was here. She told me she'd tell me why later. It was dinnertime. The male I learned was Lydia’s husband Ben told me he dropped off a filled in job application to me in a bookstore. I asked to explore the town. Lydia told me it wasn't a good idea. They signed. It was nice that they know sign language. I lip read Lydia and Ben talking to each other about me asking what planet I was on. The other female turning out to be their daughter Carine mentioned an alien word, which I didn't understand. They talked about me. They talked about telling me about Okapi and the year it was. Then Carina gave me a letter which I read was from Bruce. He wrote about his home in a nearby town. He lives on a farm. It is very nice. The farm is on another street near by here. I went outside and I looked at the sky. I could see a green moon. I suspect it was Edenia. I don't know. I know I'm not on Terra. I stayed outside until the sun set. Ben came out to bring me inside. He told me it wasn't safe for me to be outside explained that there were dragons that come out at night. The dragons have been hurting people here. I went inside and pulled out my diary during TV. It was about Okapi. Then I went to my room and looked around. I discovered the house was made out of metal. I banged on the walls and felt a boom vibration. I checked the TV. It was a thin TV. I examined it. I discovered the TV is also a computer too. I looked online for the year and got 2001. What the heck is going on? I'm very curious. I looked for my web site on Lance Richard. I found it up along with my gymnastics web site. It was very interesting. I thought Bruce and I died
on Okapi. I have a feeling that Lydia, Ben and Carina aren't who they say they are. I think someone else. I'm not sure. I came out of the shower to find the three reading my diary while in the bathroom. They apologized. They were checking to make sure I wasn't suicidal. I went to my room to watch the news. The news talked about a fire burning people's houses around here. Apparently the dragons are displeased with people building their houses on hatching ground. I hope the house isn't on hatching ground. I really hope not. I should be going to bed. By the way the phone is a videophone. The bookstore called and told me to start working tomorrow from 10am to 5pm. I hope work is okay. I really do.
Yours truly,

Dear Anne,
Work is not fine. The customers were rude and messy. I hate this job. I would rather have a computer job. I can't wait to get out of here. Bruce stopped by to my joy but was standoffish with me giving him affection just to buy some books. Then he left the store. I worked in the women's books department. I noticed most of the books are covered in
