There was a sudden flash of light. Suddenly there was something. I slowly grew a consience, a sense of self during a time that could have been weeks or months, or just a few seconds. Time.

• Wait, what the hell is time? In an extremely intense moment of growing panic I became aware of time moving forth, my own body and that the light wasn't just a light, but rather an image, containing other beings outside of my own body. I felt dirt under my nails and smelled the air, still fresh after last night's rain. I immediately knew that rain was something beautiful. Rain meant food. Water meant life.

I realized I must be alive again. Where was the beast that had slain me? I definitely died that night, and I vaugely remember seeing a star fall on the sky and wishing I could see another one before I died. I always liked the stars.

I heard a raised voice. It was a man. I looked down at my feet, wiggled my toes and then looked in the direction of the sound, smiling. He was not alone. There was a whole crowd of humans, very tall and very white. They did seem angry, but I never found out why. They had very odd clothing, and things on their head. It did not seem that their clothes would be very good to move around in. I also wondered which kind of animal they were made from, they must have been mighty beasts when they were alive.

• Hello! I said, in the only language I knew. The crowd gasped in unison and took a step back. The man took a step forward and yelled even louder at me, though I did not understand him. I told him as much, which only resulted in more yelling. I looked over to the right of the yelling man, and in the distance I saw water shooting up from some kind of stone. It was incredible sight, so I immediately got up and ran towards it, noting the terrifying mountains with faces around me and the very long, flat stones on the ground on which a large flock of very odd animals, carrying humans around inside them, were going up and down, undecided on where to go. I quickly understood that they too must be looking for the magical water-stone. All living things drink water. So I went into their path and tried to make them turn towards the stone. They panicked and tried to avoid me, so I had to chase after them along the flat stones.

Suddenly I heard a woman yell, it was a beautiful sound among the screaming, fleeing animals, and I stopped in my tracks and looked behind me. That's when it all went black again.

Luckily, I quickly woke up this time. Down on me looked the most beautiful living thing I had ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes upon. She had a hair like a fire during a cold night, and her eyes were piercing me like no spear had ever done. She had no hair in her face, her skin was smooth and pale. She said something, and it was just as heavenly as I had imagined. Her voice was soft and kind, and it ran like honey down my ears. She held out her hand, and I put my hand in hers. I let her drag me up on my feet and realized that there was again a large crowd around us, but they were quiet now. Everything was quiet. The woman turned away from me and ran. The animals had stopped running around, and for the first time I noticed it was evening. I wished I could see her again. I looked up into the sky and saw a star fall.
