Wouldn't Dream Of It
by Audrey Greathouse
theres a zebra in the courtyard!
of course there is!
lol. don't act so cool natalie :P
oh this isn't nat...sorry! wrong #
no problem
wait...ALL my contacts are switched to this #
...and why is there zebra at school!?
don't think too hard about it, maya. enjoy it!
and how did i get here? i don't even remember coming to school today...
am I...am I dreaming?
does it matter? why don't you go ride the zebra? I heard liam was waiting for you at the planetarium <3
“does it matter?” what's that supposed to mean!? who are you that you know liam?
why are all the clocks melting? i can't tell what time it is. i MUST be dreaming!
well...i guess your lucid now.
i wasn't going to let it go THAT far, but what the heck :)
are you...my dream?
i'm the part of you that's building it :)
now go ride a zebra or kiss cute guys or something. we don't have all night
oh man, i AM dreaming. i thought it was weird ava brought rollerskates to school...
when did the dream start? i remember falling asleep last night, but was that part of the dream too?
stop worrying about it & go have fun! i'm trying to give you a BREAK from worrying! :/
what was i worried about before the dream started?
nothing important
i went to bed last night...it was late...i finished my english paper...but something else
OH NO
MY MATH TEST
i've got a math final tomorrow! D:
if i don't get at least a c+ on it, i'll flunk!
maya, listen, i really, really, wouldn't think about that if i were you... >_>
OMG i should be studying. i need books right now! i'm going to the library!
NO!
all the books are written in russian...I can't do russian trigonometry! :(
what was that noise?
don't move too fast. it'll hear you
WHAT will hear me?!
the nightmare
i hear books falling off of shelves, but everything else...its all so quiet >.<
its getting closer
just leave the library. you'll be safe rollerskating with ava, or with liam...or the zebra!
i'm out the library, but everyone is GONE
oh no. maybe school isn't a good place to be right now...
i want to leave :(
go wherever you want! its your dream. your lucid now!
great plan...only the school is snowed in
WHAT?
6” high wall of snow. i can't even get a window open & now i'm somehow in a swimsuit O_o
this isn't good
change it back! your the part of me thats designing this dream, right?
i'm not doing anything
the snowstorm...thats not me :(
...then who did that?
look, maya...you might just want to find a good place to hide...
your not telling me the NIGHTMARE is doing this? How could you let that happen?!
how could *I* let that happen? your the one who decided to make it a lucid dream!
you took over dream design & then you PANICKED
omg, so now i'm trapped?
what happens if that thing from the library finds me? i haven't even seen it yet, what does it even look like?
if i were you, i wouldn't dream of it
i just need to avoid it until i can wake up
no, don't wake up! i had such a wonderful dream planned for you!
and now its turning into a nightmare. i need out
well...if thats how you feel...you could always let it eat you
it'll EAT ME? O_O
all nightmares do, if you get too close
no way. i won't go fling myself into its jaws. next idea?
well, you could find the dream door
the what?
dream door. some passageway or exit you think will lead back to consciousness
...maybe the teacher's lounge? i've never been in there, so i couldn't dream about being there, right?
its worth a shot
oh my god. There are so many bugs on the floor. its like they all came inside to get away from the snowstorm
try to ignore them
EWWWW! They're crunching under my flip flops X___X
think happy thoughts!
i don't know that i can...but its ok. they're all scurrying away into the walls now. gross
uh-oh
what?
something's coming
what do i do?!
hide!
i'm in a locker, will that work? i'm still so far from anything that would work as a dream door!
better to stay safe until it passes
oh god, i see it D:
its all black & white, but i can't tell if its covered in stripes or tentacles...
oh, that poor zebra i made for you :(
its huge! & it has fangs!
it just looked at my locker! i think it knows i'm here!
can you run???
there's no way i could get past it!
what's that noise its making?
what does it sound like?
shrill & high
every second on the second its just SCREAMING!
its like a car backing up
or a microwave beeping or...or...
OR AN ALARM CLOCK!
...maya?
huh. i guess you woke up after all
thats alright. good luck on your math test
see you tonight ;)
