Abstract

Self was a quiet boy; he was a sixteen years old student who liked studying very much. He often stayed at home because he wasn’t too social, so he preferred to sit in front of his piano and play his own music.
In the late afternoons, he got upstairs to the top of the roof and sat there watching the sunset, dreaming to go to a better place.

One night, while lying on his bed, Self heard a voice outside so he opened the window to check out what was happening, and there was a girl in the street waving at him. He quickly got downstairs, wore his jacket and got out.

As he opened the door, everything became different. Self found him self walking on the top of a hill. The girl sat besides a tree and took a flower, and as soon as he came closer she smiled and said Hello!

Self didn’t have a choice but to say Hello back, so she came near him and started looking at his face very accurately like she was analyzing something.

Girl: “You are really him, aren’t you?”
Self: “Him? What do you mean?”
Girl: “I had a dream about you Self”
Self: “What dream? And how did you know my name?”
Girl: “First of all, my name is Anna”
Self: “Pleasure!”

Anna held Self’s hand and took him down hill where there was a wide clear river.
Anna: “Look inside the water”
Self saw him self sitting in the classroom, looking by the window.
Self: “How did you do that?”
Anna: “You aren’t very happy when you are there, are you?”
Self: “Well... I...”
Anna: “Look again...”
As he looked again, he saw him self running in the sand by the seaside. And he appeared very happy in there.

Self: “What does this mean?”
Anna: “You have been searching desperately for happiness Self”
Self: “You know a lot of things, how could this be?”
Anna: “I guess I cannot answer your question at this time. But I’ll be seeing you very soon; and for now, you need to go back where you were”
Self: “But... I want to stay here... with you...”
Anna: “Everything in its time...”

Self woke up in the classroom, and his history teacher was explaining the lesson while none of the students listened.
Self’s Comrade: “Are you okay dude? You look a bit distracted...”
Self: “Not at all, I’m fine”

Self turned his head to the window and looked outside, dreaming of a better world... wandering in his wild thoughts.
