Just a Dream


One day, I saw myself walking along a wide road. A creepy one which made my heart beat so fast. I've tried to look for cars and other people. I even yelled that loud but I can only hear the whistling of the wind. I'm starting to be confused on where am I but then, I heard a voice coming from nowhere. "Just walk until you reach the light." The voice said. I saw a bright light ahead of me but it is too far. I started walking until the place change. 

I saw a big golden gate with a man standing in front of that. I want to walk backwards but then, the road vanished. I was about to cry because I'm so frightened but my feet made its own move then I found my self in front of the man. His face was so blurry but I don't care! I want to get out of this place! "Hey lady." I heard the man saying. His voice was so masculine but I can't see his face. "You want to enter?" He asked pointing through the gate. "What's inside of that gate?" I asked him peeping inside the gate but I can't see anything in it. "It is a place where souls who committed sins were punished." I can't believe it! "What place is this?!" I asked him. "I told you a while ago. This is a place where souls were punished." He said it calmly. "How come that I entered this place?!" I asked. "Just come with me and finish what you have started." He gave me a red bracelet with numbers one up to five. The gate opened and at the time we entered it, the road behind us was full of smoke. "Afraid huh? Hahahaha. We better keep going." The man said. If only I can see his face, I know that he's grinning. 

We walked and I saw a big arc saying 'Lazy souls'. Like oh my gosh! I saw souls carrying heavy things and placing it at the other side of the road. "Those things weigh triple as the weight of the soul. They continuously carry those things. The guards wont let them eat nor drink and if they rest just for a while, the punishment will double." How rude this place is. Walking by the road, I bumped a soul. I was about to pick up the thing he dropped but the man stopped me. "Don't ever hold that things if you want to get out of this place." I looked at the soul and I can see in his eyes that he's begging for help. I pity him and all of the souls there. "Hey young lady!" The man was calling me. I run after him because I'm afraid I might get lost. 

On our second stop, I saw souls who have no lips. "What is their sin?" I asked the man because I haven't seen an arc. "They were the souls who lied and those who answered their parents impolitely. Their punishment is, their lips were sealed and taken off. They will remain kneeling on the ground forever." Yah. kneeling on the ground is easy. "Don't you think that kneeling on the ground is easy, the guards won't allow them to stand nor sit." 

I became hungry when I saw our third stop. "Here, the souls who are gluttonous. They were punished by those irresistible foods placed in a shop that no one can enter. Inside the shop was imaginary people who eats happily." The man explained. "I think this is easier than the two stops?" I said watching the souls crave for food. "Nah-ah. Look closely to their bodies, their bones were broken repeatedly." I gasped knowing that their bones were broken. 

On the fourth stop, I saw souls without eyes. "This sin is common to all students. Those souls cheated in all of their tests, quiz and home works. They don't know that they only cheated their selves." I remembered one time, I cheated! WAAAH. I don't want to go here! No! "Hey. I know what you're thinking. Hahaha. You can ask for forgiveness." I was relieved when he said that. 

On the fifth stop, I saw the most disgusting place for my whole life. "Cover your nose. Hahaha. Here, the souls of those boastful will go. Those person who tease different persons." The souls were placed in a stinky, suffocating part. Their faces have worms, cockroaches and different pest coming in and out of their mouth, eyes, nose and ears. Yuck! I can't even imagine that this will happen to me.

"Hey young lady, have you been in love?" Out of nowhere, the man asked me. "M-me? Yes, I've been in love with a man who loves another person." I said shyly. "Yeah. Fight for your love but then don't force him, know your place and if you fail, I'm here to catch you." Woah. "Huh? I don't even know you." I told the man. "You'll know me soon. Goodbye young lady." then, the man disappeared. I heard a voice calling me. "HEY! WAKE UP! YOU SLEEPY HEAD!" "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I yelled as I opened my eyes. "What happened to you?" my mother asked. "I had a bad dream." I said. "Oh. What was it?" I tried to remember the dream but I can't. "I don't know?" I said. "Nah. Go down and eat. K?" then mom went out of the room. I was about to reach my phone when I saw a familiar bracelet. It is a red one with numbers one up to five. Who gave this to me? UGH. I want to remember any details from my dream!
