...the colorful garden...

Colorful garden

It was already dawn when Andrea woke up from her deep slumber, or so it seemed.

Her top was slightly wet from the sweat on her back. She could feel her moist palms grabbing the dried leaves involuntarily and her head was spinning like that of merry-go-round. Before she knew it, she hit the ground. Again.

The green-yellowish leaves which was scattered like a carpet on the uneven soil, cushioned her head from the impending concussion. It took her several minutes to manage her balance and sit straight up. She pulled herself to the nearest tree, balanced her weight on the branch and positioned herself comfortably leaning against the old tree that has been standing there for decades, at least, she thought. Slowly, Andrea tilted her head up. For a few seconds, she couldn’t breathe.

The images captured by her two hazelnut eyes pin-pointed her brain to exhilaration. The sky was toned in gradation of sun-kissed orange, gold and that of dark blue colour resembling the ocean. There was no star shimmering above. It was just the solid opaque color accompanied by the perfect stillness of the morning. Andrea felt her heart racing of this sudden strangeness. Yet, the calmness of the morning seems to be awakened by the chirp of little birds and it slowly infused an element of peace into her heart.


"Where am I?" she asked rhetorically. "Ok, ..calm down Andrea..calm down..you must be dreaming..ok where is this..place?"
