She knows she was somewhere, but in a different world that could only take her but no others. She went through a series of empty layers, corridors, staircases; everything around her was decorated in the Victorian style. It was ridiculously soundless around, as if the clock has stopped and mankind had immigrated to Mars. Her vision was black and white. She was running around, sent by someone, mending with some urgent business or whatever. In haste, she went from buildings to buildings that all looked like abandoned orphanages or deserted hospitals, and they are neverending. Every couple of steps she turned around to see if someone was behind her, becuase she felt it. Just when she was about to leave one section of hall, you came to her....or could it be your ghost.
"You're not suppose to be here," She said
"It's okay"
"I don't think you're in the right world," She reassured
"Let's take a walk"
"You have to go back, or else it'll be too late"
"I can stay for a while"
You took her hand, reluctantly, she still went.
You walked for a bit and stopped in the middle of an empty courtyard. The metal bench had paint layers peeling off, the grass looked like it hasn't been mowed forever, the huge fountain pond in the middle was all dried up.
"How are you?" You asked her
"Can you not tell?"
"I didn't know..."
"You must to go back now," she wouldn't stop urging you.
"I came here just to see you again"
"Your time will be up.. you have to leave," she tried to check the time, but her wrist tied no watch, she looked up around her, no clock tower was present, time doesn't exist here.
You led her into the bench, and you two sat down, you laid your hand on her lap, she could feel your gentle touch, it went deep inside her.
"I want to stay here again," you told her
"I don't think you can"
"You have been lonely for too long, will you let me stay?"
"I won't let you"
"Are you afraid?"
She considered this question carefully, thoughtfully, and finally,
"Yes"
I woke up, and remembered every dialogue.
