112 The Dream (1)

(Tom's PoV)

Chain?

I instinctively lifted up my legs, but due to my absence in moving my body two years, I couldn't move them even just an inch. How frustrating!

"What chain?" I looked at the little girl who was floating above my legs in confusion.

"This chain." She dove down for a while and pulling up a string of chain from under the bed.

That was really chain! Seeing the translucent form of it, I was sure it was not attached to my physical body, but rather to my soul. That explained why I didn't feel a thing. But, what was it for? I was not even a fugitive, why would I need a chain?

"I can't pull it any longer than this. It seemed to be tied down to something. I don't know how to get into the ground so I don't know where the other side of this chain is." The little girl said as she dropped down the chain.

I expected to hear metal clicking, but to my surprise, it didn't make a sound at all.
