It was the end of an era. The beginning of a new, exciting chapter in all of our lives.

Firey had just won the long-winded Battle For Dream Island. Everyone was ecstatic; even Leafy and Bubble, the runners-up, who were just glad to be there, and happy for their friend's win.

I remember celebrating with them. Everything was... perfect. It couldn't have been a happier day, and as Firey began allowing more and more people onto the island, everybody's excitement was rising. All around us were wonder after wonder; amazing theme park attractions, food stalls, five star hotels; it was everything we had ever dreamed of it being, and it was everything we were promised and more. And as Leafy stepped foot onto the island, followed by Firey himself, the pure emotion and cheer in the air was undeniable.

David was the only person left off of the island. It wasn't due to any sort of personal vendetta, he just... walked off. Nobody is quite sure of where he ended up. But, seeing what happened next, he really dodged a bullet; maybe not even just metaphorically.

As we all made our way to our hotel rooms, I got a nauseous feeling in my stomach. I wandered through the cream-walled hotel lobby, with ease at first, taking in the vibrant orange patterened carpeting, and the potted plants and flowers; but as soon as I stepped foot in the hallway leading up to my room, I felt a slight stabbing pain in my side. I got a knot in my stomach. My eyes started to sting. I felt sick, and dizzy, and before long I was lying face down on my hotel room bed, and was out like a light as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I wish I could've stayed in that daze-like sleep forever. I wish I had died, right then and there.

Because what I woke up to?

Nothing will ever compare to the pain I had to go through.

It was the beginning of a new chapter.

The end of an era.

The start of a new kind of competition.

One for something so much more valuable than any cash prize.

The one thing we all took for granted; our freedom.
