The silence of the night sweeps over the room as I begin to enter a half dream-like state. Consciousness slowly fades as the memories come to life, vivid and beautiful. All at once, old friends, places, and times slowly drift by. Even the years cannot wash away the beautiful days that time has forgotten.
The air is warm and pleasant, the body relaxed. Emotions flood the soul as faces long-passed live and smile again. Childhood and youthful vigor return and innocence is restored for a brief moment. It is a short time and yet an entire life well spent.
All at once, it fades and the room comes into view. A single tear, a smile. Life’s memories are never truly lost or buried. They simply await us when we close our eyes.

I loved this short story! It reminds me of being in a dream and how sometimes you don’t want to wake up from them. I think it would be really cool if you wrote a sister short story (part 2) and wrote about nightmares. Your writing is really creative and beautiful to read. Thank you for sharing your piece! 🙂
Thank you so much, your idea is excellent! I certainly will write it and mention you as the inspiration!
