The Unfortunate One

I was born in a very normal family, with a normal dad that worked in a private companies and earned and loved us enough that we didn't have to face any kind of hardships during my 19 years of life and my mother, a simple housewife who always stayed at home and took care of me and my little sister and loved our family to her fullest. If looked from a perspective of any third party our family would be a epitome of perfection and happiness.

I, the eldest kid of house was blessed with above average looks and highly functional brain that made me the apple of the eye of our parents but it didn't mean that my little sister was neglected instead as she was blessed with an unparalleled looks and was treated as centre of attention, so overall our lives or specifically my life would have been perfect if it weren't for one fact that I found everything boring. Nothing in this world seemed to entertain or excite me and I found out about the fact that I was different from others at a young age and thought that maybe excess attention may bring some fortune of entertainment upon me and so I told my parents about it but they thought that this was due to my high intelligence and it'll be solved by the time I grew to became a teenager and find other things to do but how wrong were they and even at my 19th birthday I have yet to find a thing that may excite me.

Even in this superficial perfectly boring life there was one other thing that maked me different from others and stopped me from taking my life due to boredom were my dreams, the only thing that represented a ray of hope that there exists a kind of world where I also can entertain myself.

My dreams, which I started having from 3 were like lucid dreams but they were more than that, in my dreams my starting point was always same- A vast land of green with few rivers here and there and a group of trees that couldn't be called forest and it seemed to stretch for hundreds of kilometres, for first few months I only wondered in this plain only but after sometime I somehow knew that I can reach its horizon and I did and surprisingly all it took was a single thought. After reaching the horizon which was also the plain's literal end I saw or precisely looked down and saw a whole new world.

The world below the plains  was covered with huge mountains and tremendous rivers that may leave the rivers like amazon in pale, and that was the first time when I smiled genuinely. After watching this scenery of grandeur I knew that there was something beyond us, that may cure my boredom.

After knowing that there's a lot to discover in these dreams of mine I started to watch the unknown world from different spots of plains and I learned that the unknown world below is a whole island that has been cut of from any kind of human interaction, if any human were present in the unknown world, but the most amazing beings present there were the aerial creatures well because they were the only one which were clearly visible from this unimaginable height of plains which can be easily said that it was above 20,000 metres from the ground.

The different aerial creatures that I discovered were first a giant eagle, at least that was what it looked like from afar but upon closer inspection and observation I found that the eagle was almost 10 metre tall and length of its wing, upon full spread was almost 8 metres and it was grey in colour and it seemed like it was made of metal but maybe that was just my mind, well yeah its dream.

In next 10 years I've fully explored or observed the whole unknown island and it was full of mysterious creatures, like an orange bird with four wings, a wyvern and a flying snake with wings which was probably an amphithere and once, for the first time I saw a land creature that was as tall as mountains and was big enough that I was able to see it from plains but still small enough that I was unable to discern its form or relevance.

Now it has been about 16 years since I first entered the dreams where I landed in the plains and was able to somehow live through almost 2 decades and thought that my misfortune was over and I will be satisfied with this but after coming face to face with the true reason of my dreams I've confirmed that in this life I, who couldn't even fulfill my basic mental need of entertainment and got all my emotions numbed have been and will be the most unfortunate one.
