A dream never seemed so real. The colors of the forest were much more vibrant, like I was seeing them for the first time. I looked out at the nostalgic fields. They were wide with one, and abundant of beauty. Although the dream probably only lasted for ten minutes, I was aging. Rapidly. My skin began to wither, and my vision became blurry. My knees burned with a peculiar pain that I had never felt before. Then, a burst of flames aroused from a set of trees. A hobbled away from this beautiful disaster, growing old. I felt a burning deep inside myself. I was apprehensive about what was happening. Death is inevitable, a voice laughed in my head. Then, I blacked out. I cringes slightly when I hit the burning floor. I felt something strange, my heart was beating at an abnormal pace. Then, my heart stopped abruptly, and I had fallen to the floor. And I never woke up.

"Kidnap the Sandy Claws"
When I wrote this, I envisioned someone having, like, a heart attack in their sleep or something.
