On a cold ground, I felt a constant,distant rumbling. Was I inside a dragons belly? Was it an aftershock of a bomb, rippling its way to me? Was a cavalry furiously charging to my unknown destination? Deep in though, I finally told myself: go see for yourself, dummy.
Rising up with my hands, I felt pebbles and sediment with my palms. I opened my eyes to find that it was only a bit lighter than when they were closed. Was I in a cave? I stood off of my knees and examined my surroundings more thoroughly. Turning around, I saw the bright exit and headed towards it.
To my amazement, I found that I wasn't in a cave, but instead a cove. The rumbling that I had heard was a glistening clear sea, clashing to and then receding away from the coast. A small dirt path led to the beach which I began walking towards. The sand alerted me that I was barefoot, its soothing warmth leading me to the shore with every sinking step. The temperature cooled as I got closer to the water until I finally dived in. Clothes and all, I rolled , laughing, splashing and allowing the current to take me away.
After a while of playing, I allowed myself to float. With a huge smile on my face, I didn't know how I got here or how I'd find my way out. But with an eternal sense of satisfaction, I realized I didn't care and floated away. This was way better than the chemo I'd been receiving.
