I opened my eyes and I saw nothing. I am standing at nothingness at all. Everything is black until I saw some light. I feel like I am at a narrow space just like a tunnel and different colors of light are floating on the side, the ceiling and the floor but the lights are moving.

As I read the line outloud, a man suddenly spoke on my right ear that made me jump in surprise. He said, 'Welcome to the Magic Shop'. I faced him and saw a man my age, holding a rose, broad shouldered,
