Directly and exclusively to the doctor."The young man got on h

Geoffrey came back home to his wife. She was still in the same place he left her, reading the newspaper."Oh, my dear, you're back so soon," she said. "Was it eventful?"If he didn't know her, he would have been angry or at least bothered to see that she was so cold about matters. Instead, he kissed her head and hugged her tightly.Not only because he had good news, but for how much he knew she was holding on inside her and couldn't let out.There were some nights in which, thinking that her husband was sleeping, she cried. And he didn't even move because if he did, she would compose herself and never let out all the pain she held to keep the appearance and keep her family together.She was tough, but still, there were times in which she broke. And he couldn't even hold her. That was one of the reasons why when they were in their waking hours, he was sweet and comprehensive with his wife.She thought more than once that her husband had
Onerea: The City of Dreams 26. The First Lost Kitten
The wagon on the train was relatively comfortable. Dominik got with him his more personal belongings, which included his journal and fountain pen. His last dream was a very peculiar one, and he wanted to save the experience. He had been visiting this Dreamworld since he was nine years old. His mother had died the day before from a cardiac illness, and he was devastated.After the wake and the funeral, the kid locked himself in his room and cried, and cried, and kept crying until he fell asleep.When he found himself with his face all wet and standing in the middle of a trail that went up to a bunch of clouds, he was sure he had died.He thought for a moment that he could see his mom there. He noticed that people were very different there but, he didn't question much what he was seeing. After all, "heaven" couldn't be as Bulgaria was at that time, right?So the kid, still in his room clothing, was intercepted by a young and handsome gentleman that walked together with a beautiful youn
Onerea: The City of Dreams 27. Unadmitted
Myron got back on his feet and walked all the way to receive their visitor."Belle Cat!!! We were talking about cats... and bells. It's good to see that you're still alive and well after your tour with our dear Dominik.""Alive?" She said with a puzzled look, "Was I supposed to die with him?""Well, more like... we thought you might end up killing each other. The way you were getting not-so along the last time we saw you... We tried to help you a little with that, but we're still to know if we succeeded.""Oh, I see. Well, I think you did.""Why is that, Belle Cat?" Asked Raquel, curiouser."Because he and I made a pact. I hope he will do his part. And also, I now hope he doesn't get me killed," Belle said with a stare that went together with a heart-melting smirk towards our very favorite shy guy.Dominik smiled and blushed just a little, enough for his surrogate siblings to keep it in mind until the end of times and make jokes
Onerea: The City of Dreams 28. Not So Bad After All
The train kept moving through the night. Most of the travelers were in a deep sleep. Domi has been used to keep himself in solid sleep in the most peculiar of circumstances, meaning that you can't purposedly wake him up.No, not a heavy dreamer, in that sense, just trained to wake up only when he kicked himself out of the dream.His body was in the most uncomfortable position since he fell asleep due to the motion of the train. It still seemed to be the perfect timing since he found Belle at the right time at the store.After rushing her out before she mentioned the measures he had to take to get them out of the first mirror, they got to the city and walked all the way to the outskirts, where the portals were.The first thing he had to teach her, so she could understand how to get out was to control the strong energy of the portals. It, same as the experiences within the mirrors, was different from person to person and from occasion to occasio
Onerea: The City of Dreams 29. Storytelling
There was this group of people, way before, when we got a lot of visitors. Some people found friends or even family here because it seemed like people believed more in places like these, but at some point, they stopped.Anyway, one day this girl arrived. She came to the store, as you did. I was a teenager, so I noticed how pretty she was and how sad I felt her.She moved around the store, trying clothing and laughing, but she didn't feel happy to me.She came with just one friend of hers, one she called "sister," but was surrogate, just like my siblings are.I overheard them talking about going to the mirrors. I mentioned to Raq, who was in charge of equipping visitors, just as she did with you, but when she saw that girl, she was worried."I don't think you should go into the mirror, Pretty Cat," she told her,"Why not?" she answered with a puzzled smile."Because you're too sad. You might be in danger if you go in like t
Onerea: The City of Dreams 30. Wolf, You There?
"So, what happened when she woke up?" Belle's cotton candy Ice cream cone was gone, and she was now trying a new flavor that she was enjoying a lot more, Taro.It was purple and tasted like nothing she had tried before, which got a lot more looks from her companion than she noticed, but so many that she asked him why he was looking at her like that."You're making funny faces to your ice cream," He said, chuckling."I thought I had filled my face with purple," she giggled too.Belle knew she was making faces. That was her thing when she liked her food, or in general, when she felt happy or excited about something, and that something right there and then was the new flavors she was tasting.Onerea was paradise. If she died, she thought, it was probably the closest place to heaven she could think of."But stop laughing at me, and continue the story. The girl was just awaking, and his house just appeared, so he was supposed to try and make her fall in love with him, as a way to make her f
Onerea: The City of Dreams 31. Mirror Mirror
"So, he was in love with her as soon as he saw her?" Belle asked him curiously.She had eaten two ice creams already and was full, happy, and energetic like a kid after getting that much sugar in their system.Domi ate just one himself, and after they were done, he thought it was a better idea to go and walk a little around the city.A stroll after eating was always good. He, as a doctor, knew it, especially since, as I mentioned, they had plenty of sugar and energy to consume."First, why don't we go for a walk while I continue the story?""I think it's a great idea. I never thought you could be a good storyteller, you know?""How so?""Because you were so grumpy. All the storytellers I've ever seen are happy people, comfortable with others, and friendly. Those were boxes I didn't think I could check with you at first," She said with a laugh," And yet, here we are."She stood silent for a second, and every time she react
