Anon’s eyes shot open. His face was buried in his wet pillow, stained from his sweat. He quivered as he very gently tried to lift himself up from the bed. He looked to find his bed was dry, save for his sweat.

He gently placed a palm to his face, feeling the still fresh sweat on his cheek—to his forehead. He shivered, still in shock at the sights he had seen.

“Who… who are…” the vivid images of the nightmare he had just slept through came back in his mind. Horrific cries rang vividly in his ears, the sound of cars colliding hardly together, and the flames burning furiously. Anon shook his head viciously, trying to remove these thoughts from his head.

“These dreams aren’t real. Just forget about it.” He rammed his hands into his head, trying to stop the images that were assaulting him.

Anon dashed into his bathroom, before making sure he hadn’t woken up the still sleeping unicorn on his bed and emptying the contents of his stomach into the toilet. He wiped his mouth as he groggily looked at himself in the mirror. His head still bald, his eyes were bloodshot with bags under his eyes, his was skin still green, and he was breathing quite heavily. He looked terrible.

He ran some cold water and repeatedly splashed his face with it. He let out a sigh with his eyes tiredly closed then thought deep in himself. ‘Get yourself together Anon. They’re just dreams nothing more, they’re not... real. You gotta be strong, for your friends, but most importantly.’ Anon turned to his shoulder looking outside of his bathroom at the sleeping lavender on his bed. ‘For her sake...’

Birds were chirping & singing their favorite tune while flying over houses across the town, cars in different shapes and sizes were passing by people's apartments. Two girls were outside sitting in the grass; one was playing with dolls in her big castle, the second was waving her toy wand pretending to be her favorite wizard she saw from a very popular movie. Four boys were riding their bikes going back and forth from their house but stayed cautious from any cars coming by.

Two elderly men were sitting on their chairs just enjoying themselves in this beautiful morning they were having while drinking tea from their mugs. The elder from the right turned his head at his fellow-friend and cleared his throat. "Hey Jimmy," he said. "Remember my dance last night with Jenny?"

The elder from the left thought for a moment before replying, "Um, eh, she didn’t dance with you herald."

The elder from the right placed his hand behind his left ear persisting. "What!?"

"I said she didn't dance with you!" The elder from the left repeated.

"What!?" Said the elder from the right.

"Oh for goodness sake..." tiredly Said the elder from the left.

A loud ringing echoed around the room waking our fellow anonymous from his walk to dreamland. He let out a groan then moved his arm before his palm grasped the alarm-clock sitting on the table, pushes the button then the ringing ceased & the room was left in silence. The tired man let out a yawn scratching the back of his head. When he tried to stand up he was stoped and was left bewildered. There was something heavy on top of him—a big weight that held him down, pinning him. Only then when he opened his eyes found the source of it. Sure enough, it was the unicorn, sitting on his chest already awake and staring down at him without the blankness expression this time but a calming one.

Anon couldn’t help but chuckled at this. “Well, I see you’re awake too huh Starlight?” He said looking up at her. As expected Starlight was shocked. “That is your name right, on your collar?” He pointed to the tag of her collar. When she looked down her eyes widened while holding the tag with her hoof studying it—that is until a growl from her belly distracted her.

“Looks like someone’s hungry.” Anon said stepping out of bed, with the Starlight hopping off landing on her hoofs. “Come on, let’s get you something to eat.”
