Dreams 2024: The Gift

"Good morning my darling! Today is the big day... you will not miss a single moment of it!" Their voice is like a harp coaxing me to the waking world. Another birthday... another day... isn't it all the same? 

"I'm up!" I say to Bow as my eyes spring open. It is so bright today. No, it's just Bow's glowing wings reflecting all the sunlight as they sit in the bay window. I'm laughing now. Today is a happy day...it is my day. I roll over on my bed feeling the lilac silk beneath my palms. Suddenly my eyes feel heavy again as sleep beckons me back down. 

"Now, Syla... i've brought you somethi- no no no.... up you go!" Is all I can hear before I'm levitating and the blankets beneath me swarm and then rest in a neat presentation. I sigh loudly as Bow sends me floating across my bedchamber and plants me feet first at the threshold of my bathroom. I am to bathe and dress in preparation for my birthday celebration. I love to party almost as much as I love to sleep. Can you blame me?

I curtsey to Bow in my silk night dress and turn towards the sound of water already running. "You are welcome, little lady. Now make haste so I can present you your gift." I hear Bow's voice in the distance. My bathing room smells of lavender and vanilla... my favorite combination. I want to live in here forever.
