A dance with love and death.

Alone together and better than ever.

I feel like I'm floating into space. I open my eyes and that seems to be true. 

I close them and then I open them again. 

I'm in Central Park. Right next to me is a dog. He has no leash, I trust that he would not get far. 

Solo. . . Solo. . . Solo. . . 

There have been so many years since I dreamt about you. 

I kneel right beside him. I wanted to stroke his white hair. Just like I did before.

Solo turns around. He's alive and well. My eyes are starting to swell up from my tears. I close them, trying to get rid of them. There were happy tears but they were still tears. 

When I opened them again, I found myself in this space area. I was sitting in something invisible. I turn to look down and I see him crying. 

"Sebastian?" I ask him but he shakes his head. 

"You know me with a different name" he hints at me. 

"Solo?". As the realization kicks in, more tears fall into my face. "What happened? How? The last time we saw each other, it was at the wedding. Was it real?". 

"Yes it was. Did you remember all these testimonies people wrote anonymously online?". 

"Yes". 

"It was all real. They weren't living this on earth but they were living something real" Solo explains. 

"I don't understand". 

I'm afraid I didn't. 

"I'm here because the faiths sent for me" Solo continues. 

"The faiths?". I was perplexed. Who are the faiths?

"Some smaller, intergalactic gods. Their life's purpose is to give access to lonely people like you".

 "Acess to what?". Solo needs to give me more than that. 

"Acess to a planet where your life and the life of those around you are better. When you dream, the faith intends to transport you to a planet where your life is so much better. There are many planets out there. Not just the ones you know. And in these planets, are inhabited by alternate life forms that resemble one's earth. On my planet, I have a humanoid form. The one you see here. With the faiths letting you have access to my planet, you are seeing something that might or might not be better than your situation. On my planet, you made things better for the people around you. Seeing that, you are meant to be inspired so when you're ready, you can apply the right decisions you made to your dreams in real life". 

"So. . ." I was half sold about it. "Am I ready?" I ask him. 

"Yes, you are". Solo seemed You have not walked up in this life path for so many years to end up with Brody or Jackson. You have not mended up your relationship with Cassie or Jossy and Gloria. You are momentarily in prison, you are alone and that's the good part. Do you understand me?" Sebastian asks. 

Solo asks. 

I could see my life form from here. There, right to my next. That small bubble. I was sleeping in a prison cell wearing an orange uniform. After all, orange is the new black.

"Yes, so that is what the fates were trying to show me?" I ask him. 

"In a way" Solo responds. "They wanted you to make you understand, see for yourself that you can survive just fine on your own. You, being alone, that's the current best thing that can happen to you. Do you get that?". 

"Yes, I do. That means, for so many years, all the times I met with you, you were just acting? You were just playing your part. The same thing applies to the last time. You all acted as if I belong there. When I didn't? I should just stay here, right?". I shake my head in disgust. "I don't like that. That means what? From all these parallel planets, all these possible future chances for me. A planet where my life is put together and all is well. Emma. There was this woman. In all the other planets, she must be alive". I deliberately stop. I better make some time to think for my next argument. "A planet where you are a human and you are married to my son. Aaron. My alive son. And Bellinda".
