You're dad is gone. Again. This time busy on a 'business retreat'. You lie down in your bed, pull up the covers and try to relax. You can distantly hear your older sister, Kelsey, talking on the phone as she always is. You ignore it and fade into a blissful sleep.
You're chest is heavy. You can't breathe. It's as if a dream has passed into real life. You open your eyes and pull yourself out from the layer of blanket. You rub your eyes, wondering why that dream seemed so real. The suffocation. Upon opening your eyes it becomes clearer. A vast landscape of wrinkled blanket cascades before you. What? How is that possible? You walk across the soft land that is your bed. "I must be dreamin--"
"No, no, lemme ask him." A familiar voice from outside your door echos. The door creaks open. "Hey, will you babysit--" Your sister steps in. A small but noticeable vibration goes through you. In the doorway, she stands. Her tall enormity dominating the room. The girl who was once shorter than you now was many times your small size.
"Where did he go?" She resumes her call "No, I have to take care of Mary, sorry. No, I don't know where he went" Her voice fades. You grab a hold of the blanket and manage to slide down, your feet hitting the carpet floor. You venture through the swampy softness that is your carpet. You move around various objects on your floor, discarded by you. Now they blocked your path to the door. After a long while of moving, you arrive at the door and slip under the lower crack. You enter the enormous, bright hallway. To your left is Mary's room, the front door, and the kitchen. To your right, is Kelsey's room. You know that you need help to figure out what has happened
