Earth

If I had to explain it, I'd start with the colors. Not a red nor a black, but a striking yellow room with Purple Mountain Majesty framing it. It's a room, but not the typical cube dimensions. This room is triangular. The floor is sticky, the ceiling is high and clouds float in and out.

If only I were taller, I'd be able to reach the octagon shaped window. So I sit on my bed made from foxes and stare up at it, until the sun goes down. As it does, the typical orangish glow fades and the sky becomes a lime green. This color is reflected through the window until it fills the room. Suddenly I'm surrounded by green light. It fills up like jello rising me toward the ceiling which worries me because the top of this room is made of razor sharp icicles that have only gotten harder as the sun has set.

Closer and closer I rise until I am sucked out the window by a gravitational force and float in an empty black space. I see the green window float farther away until I am amongst the stars and planets. I can't breath and my heart has exploded inside my chest but somehow I'm alive. I continue spinning through out the abyss as a chilly cocoon thickens around me until it swallows me whole.

When I wake, I become claustrophobic, kicking and screaming to escape my isolating prison. I manage to punch a hole through the Styrofoam casing but my hand swells and bleeds. I'm no longer in my room, but on a planet.

A waterfall flows, the grass is the color of my room, and the sky is a blinding blue. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I know wherever I've landed, it's not my home.
