We're in the water at the this point with our boat sinking and exploding a mile away from us. My sidekick on this mission spots a man standing on top of a mountain of an island. As we get closer we realize the mountain is a cardboard structure hanging over the water by a gold pole and the is no longer a man but an ancient Egyptian solider with full wardrobe and a spear. We call out to the soldier but no answer. We have to mount the structure for I am losing the strength to swim. My sidekick throws a rope over. The soldier does not move. We climb aboard. As soon as we reach the golden the soldier calls out into the sky repeatly, "They want to enter. They want to enter."
Seconds later the structure repells upward. While ascending I realized the sky is nothing but painted blocks of stone, "I've been here before," I thought, "We're going to crash right into the ceiling and be transported too..."
I wake up in a bed that's not mine, in a home I don't recognize, but I've been here before. I walk through the halls and I remember someone is home, a girl, sitting on her computer will greet me with amazement. I walk by several rooms but I don't see her. I walk back again and there she is, "Auntie? Oh my God. You're awake? Everyone will be so happy."
Her face has lost color. My eyes have gone bad. All I can see is white and gray. This time I want to ask this girl what's happened to me instead of walking by and not saying anything, "How long was I asleep for?"
"You were in a comma for years. Nobody knew what was wrong with you, so we left you in your bed to sleep."
She looks precious. Just like she did when she was a baby. I remember the day they brought her home. I hold her hand gently trying to admire her French tipped fingernails but I can't make out the color. Everything is a shade of white, "I can't see. I've gone color blind."
"Have you been outside?"
"No."
"It will probably take some time for your eyes to adjust. You've been asleep for a long time."
"But why . . ."
