a dream

Well I had a dream recently. I don't know where it came from, but it had one of these time-travel-defy-logic-makes-no-sense kind of narrative, which is usually very common in dreams. Since when are dreams logical, right? I found it kind of weird, and I actually like how everything gets all tied up together into a mess. So I wrote it down.

I spruced it up a little, added in names, dates and other details so that it's at least understandable, unlike dreams. So here goes. I call it The Monk and The Girl.

21 February 2001

NEWSFLASH: Girl, Daisy Rich, jumps to her death at West Town University where she studies. Friends say they have no idea why she did that, as she was a cheerful girl with no history of depression or any problems in life.

Her boyfriend, Terrence Andrews, was so heartbroken that he decided not to fall in love ever again and became a monk.


21 February 2011


Terrence meets Daisy. They spent an entire night talking about life and philosophy, and falls in love with each other. However, Terrence is unable to be with her as he is a monk.


They go separate ways.


As they sleep, both of them can’t stop thinking about each other. They wished in their hearts that Terrence had not become a monk. They wished that they could do something to change the events that led to 
Terrence becoming a monk. Their wishes were granted.


They were both transported back to 21 February 2001.


21 February 2001


West Town University – Terrence is looking for Daisy Rich. He sees her, laughing and smiling with her friends. He wanted to go up to her and talk to her, just as they will do 10 years from now. But he remembers – Daisy from 10 years ago does not know him. He walks away quickly.


Daisy Rich sees Terrence. She remembers what she came back to 2001 to do – to tell him not to become a monk. But Terrence is walking away now. She chases him.


Terrence sees Daisy chasing after him. He is afraid. He does not know what to do. He jumps off a ledge, dropping nearly 100m to the ground. But he lands safely, because he is a monk.


Daisy sees him jumping off the ledge. She hesitates. But she does not want to lose sight of Terrence now. 
She takes after him. She steps off the ledge. She jumps. But she is not a monk.


It was a long fall to the ground.


Terrence looks up and sees Daisy falling. He jumps towards her in martial arts style, got her in his arms and safely drops to the ground.
