MORDECAI'S FANTASY WORLD

chapter #1

One two three four- I could hear my heartbeat racing as I ran through the woods five six seven eight- branches tearing my skin as I run through the thick woods, what was I running from!? Where was I going!? Nine ten- RING RING RING!!!
I jolted up from my bed my alarm clock ringing had made me wake up from the dream I was having. I was panting that dream felt so real. RING RING RING!!! Ugh I quickly turn off my alarm clock suppressing the urge to throw it against the wall, that thing was so annoying.

I rub the sleep out of my eyes and check the time, it was 7:00 in the morning, I sigh as I get out of bed, my mix match socks hitting the hardwood for my grandma's house, well technically it was now my house as. it's been well two weeks since I moved in with her, things at home were rough to say the least, before I came over here my grandma didn't really visit my house I remember just came here when I wanted to visit her, she took one look at what I was living and immediately took me in.

The house I was living at with my parents was disheveled and wore down, it was dirty and unfit for honestly anyone to live in, not like my parents really cared, they we're too busy being drunk and high on whatever they were on that day to care, but things are better now way better my grandma's house is amazing.

Me and my grandma live in this small two-story cabin right by the river in the small town of Cooper Alaska. She has a small garden outside right next to the water, and there's this big tree I'm not really sure what kind, that has a swing attached to it that my grandpa made me, this place has always been a safe place for me and now I'm living here.

I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of ripped jeans my grandma insist of fixing for me and one of my favorite shirts, it's a basic black shirt with a faded ac/dc printed on there front. I walk into my small bathroom and hop into the shower.

I wasn't the prettiest boy by all means, I have very pale skin that made me look half dead as my friend Nia had told me, and dark brown hair that in the sun looked lighter then it really was, it was cut short and was normally kinda wavy. I had a few scars two smaller ones on my left hand and three more on my right, I also had on large scar on my back that was horizontal, it started from my right shoulder down to my left hip. On of the few scars caused by my drunk idiotic father. And of course I have my top surgery scars that I actually kind of like.

I got out the shower and put my clothes on that I picked out, and quickly brushed my teeth and headed back to my room to get my shoes on, they were an old pair of worn out tennis shoes that I had drawn on. Once I got thoses on I walked into the kitchen.

In the kitchen was my grandmother, she was making breakfast for me and her like she always did. Good morning hun how'd you sleep, my grandmother said in that soothing sweet tone that she always had. I had that dream again but other than that I slept fine, I state stretching in my seat at our little round wooden table that had four chairs around it, the sunlight from the kitchen window leaked into the kitchen making it look bright and warm. Was there anything different in the dream this time? My grandma questioned turning around to the fridge and pulling out some orange juice.

Nope nothing different I was just running from something or two something? I said running my hand through my hair that was still kind of wet from the shower. Hmm she hummed while pouring herself and I a glass of orange juice, maybe your dream means something you know I read in the newspaper one time that dreams ment different things, she Sayed turning back to the food she was cooking.

Huh maybe, I chuckled taking a sip of my orange juice. My grandma handed me my plate and she sat down with hers, my grandma's food was always the best and still is the best, she has made scrambled eggs and bacon and French toast, we both ate the same thing every morning because it was our favorite. We both ate are food and talked about what we were both doing today. My grandma was going to go visit grandpas grave and put out some new flowers for him, and I was going to go hang out with Nia and pick up my dog zooko from my parents house.
