The floor agrees with this force and released me from its sturdy grip. I felt my hand hit an object on the counter. I saw the ceiling turn from a steady picture to a constant, blurry picture. My body felt…

The sun was not yet shining its warmth on my little world, however I still dragged myself out of my warm consuming bed, leaving it and my dream Mister Sandman had given me, behind.

There could be more than one definition of a beautiful place; they all differ from each other. For example, the sight and sound of ocean waves colliding with each other as they ooze onto the shore of the beach could be a definition of a beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place.
