More Tales Soon

Open curtains

Suddenly that door bangs loudly. Firstly, I didn't react to it at all, but straightaway I felt this soft warm feeling. I tried to open my eyes, quite unsuccesfull I have to say, because it took me six minutes to notice the sun had already fully penetrated into all the corners of my room. I like it this way, sleeping with the curtains open. By theories on my own it allows me to wake up in a more natural way. It allows me to always wake up with a fresh mind. To wake up whenever I want, feeling like every nocturnal adventure is used to its fullest extent. At least...

It can't be this late. I've never overslept this much; I never did. Without hesitation I jumped out of my bed and flew downstairs. In a glance I noticed; nobody. Thoughts were quicly running through my mind. Perhaps my family left the house? But where to? Before I completely lost myself, I decided to first have some breakfast, perhaps that would ease the mind. I wasn't even near the kitchen, or suddenly I saw it moving. Immediately I stood still and looked at it. It seemed to last for hours. In fact it where just seconds, since I was looking at our clock hanging on the wall. I took a glance on my own watch and confirmed.

I tried to find a chair to sit on. What a relief! I totally forgot that this night we switched to summertime, meaning all clocks are put one hour in advance. Now that I'm thinking of it; what a stupid idea it is. The main reason is always: "You'll have an hour more sun in the evening, so energy will be saved". Hello-o, are you forgetting we also need to wake up an hour earlier now? When it's still semi-dark? Not to mention that in a few months it doesn't matter if we shift the time or not? And where is that chair!

There was no chair. There were no chairs at all. I suddenly realized, our entire house was empty. Everything was gone, except for that door. This big dark wide open door, but it didn't go to the hallway as it should. I barely had the chance to think, or it was slowly closing. Everything in me knew I should do the opposite; I ran towards the door. I never ran so hard in my life, but I just didn't seem to move forward. It knew it took to long, it was almost closed. But I could almost touch it.

Suddenly that door bangs loudly. Firstly, I didn't react to it at all, but straightaway I felt this soft wet feeling. Instantly I jumped up, completely disoriented, completely soaked in sweat. It was a dream. I slowly laid back in bed again. The clock said I overslept for one hour, at least this time I knew why. Next time, though, I'd better try to sleep with my curtains closed...
