Chapter two

    I quickly arose from my bed. it was only 3 oclock in the morning. Elcifer lay in a reassuring mass at the end of the bed near my legs. Unlike the Elcifer in my mind, my real cat Elcifer can't talk. He's just a ten year old black and orange blob of a cat whos seen one two many cat treats in his life. i sat up in my bed and started to scratch him under his chin, he started purring loudly.
   i looked out the window at the full moon. Me and Elcifer often visited the moon in my mind. it was much different than what it is in real life. we don't need a space ship to get there, we sort've just pop up at the moon, and we can breathe also.
   i've been taking journeys into my mind ever since i was 8. i fell asleep in class one day, and when i opened my eyes i was in a bizzare mushroom world. it was very strange, everything felt and looked real, and i was concious,but i was still asleep.i ventured through this mushroom world, remembering that in my class my teacher was telling us a story about mushrooms. i walked up to one of the mushrooms nd tried to take a piece out of one of the giant towering mushrooms, but it was solid like a rock.
   the mushrooms rose to what seemed like 12 feet tall, and were all different colors. some were brown, others white, some were even red with white polka dots. all the souronding foliage was also bright and colorful. every color you could imagine was all around me. it seemed as if i had walked right into a strange painting someone had made. someone who didn't know that grass isn't pink and mushrooms weren't 12 feet tall.
   i countined walking through the very convient path tht lay through the mushroom field.
  "hello?Hello!" i screamed as i walked onwards.
  "hello? my name is charlotte! is anyone here?" my 8 year old voice was very high pitch, and carried on well so i was epexcting to get  reply from somebody. perhaps someone was asleep on top of one of the mushrooms. maybe there was even a whole city ontop of the mushrooms. my young creative mind was screaming with delight and just had to know what was ontop of thoose mushrooms. i walked forwards until i saw a mushroom that looked easy enough to climb up. a few hundred feet up and i found a very convient set of mushrooms that looked like a staircase. i climb my way onto the first mushroom and so on until i reached the last mushroom. i was midway climbing the last mushroom when i was instantly transported back to the real world.
 " Charlotte Grace, if you want to sleep in my class then i will expect you to go to the nurse. there is no sleeping allowed in my classroom." I looked up and saw the angry face of my 2nd grade teacher looking down at me with her arms folded. I could see straight up her nose she was so close to my desk.
   My teachers name was mrs.rattenbourogh , and even as an 8 year old, i was suprised at how someone had married such an evil beast like her. me and the other school kids always waited for the day devil horns would sprout out of her head, and hellish black wings would pop out of her back. and then she'd breathe fire at us and start going on a fire breathing rampage.
  sadly, that never happened. she was just a human.
  often we find it easier to imagine a reason for why someone could be so cruel. ohh she just doesn't mean to be a horrible person, she's a spawn of satan, she has no choice. it' always easier to make it through the day when everything has an explanation, and everything makes sense.
    later that night i travelled back to mushroom land in my sleep.
