You find yourself walking up a new pathway, in a place that you do not recognize but has a comfortable home-like feeling. You don't remember how you got there. It is raining in the sky and your ankles have stopped hurting. Just as you are wondering if the trees were always this colour, you happen upon a truly beautiful wood-nymph. The truly beautiful wood-nymph whispers something lovely in your ear and hands you a hypo-allergenic flower made up of thousands of small pieces of true love, sewn together with spider web. You take the flower, eat it, and keep walking. Soon you come to a circus-fair. It's a very sleazy looking circus and you are quite unsure about stopping there. But being a sleazy circus it has a freak show. Being since freak shows have been illegal for quite some time now, you decide to go in and just see that. Most of the "freaks" are either very obviously faked or just your usual physically handicapped, but there is one cage that you cannot take your eyes off of. It is the one with the sign above it saying "See the Serpent Woman - Amazing - Half Human! Half REPTILE!". She looks so real, of course its makeup combined with some god awful skin disorder but she truly does look amazing. Frightening, yet beautiful. With a curly tail, pointy ears, claws, camouflage scales, and a long forked tongue. You do not want her to have to live in this cage all her life. Having suddenly been a police officer for quite some time now, you pull your gun out of your pocket, and pull the trigger - "Boom" -
You wake up.
