A Lovely Little Daydream

Amidst the treasures of beauty that one can ever witness, I was leisurely enjoying an exotic cuisine in evening's tranquillity. A mystical forest it was, covered with magical trees that blossomed crystal flowers flashing colorful neon lights and gilded leaves playing a divine music swaying in the breeze. Cascades of flowing glittery gums secreted from the silvery barks, forming a pool in the middle that was softly burning with ruby embers while it emitted heavenly surge of scent. I was sitting on a grand table and chair abstractly designed with rainbow moonstone; adorned with glowing moss. Meal on crockery made of shells was served by spellbinding nymphs as they joined me not to eat but to feed me with their tender hands. It was a bursting riot of tasty food that rampaged my tongue with wanting more and I couldn't stop until my heart was pleased. I took a sip of invigorating mocktail made of mint, dew and nectar. Cheers to me! I uttered with sheer joy as it quenched my thirst forever. And splash, splotches of tap water drenched my clothes, my hands raised in the air with an empty cheap glass as the bubble of my daydream bursts in a notoriously shameful way. In an ugly small eatery, sitting on a broken dirty table crowded with more people than a bus can hold, staring at me with their raging glares as if they want to kill me because the cheered up splash of my drink not only drenched me but also spoiled mine and their hard earned food. What can I say...quite a costly little daydream it was. Date: 01/18/2016 Note: The daydream is real but the incident is fictitious. Entered in two different contests: A lovely little daydream by Mystic Rose - *Placed Sixth* Alternative festive season by Kai Michael Neumann - *Placed Fifth*
