Like most mornings you are having a hard time waking up. This morning feels unusually bad though. Your bed just feels so comfortable that you don’t want to be roused from your slumber. Eventually you do recognize the fact that you do have to get up eventually. There is something wrong, but your sleep addled mind cannot determine just what it is. Then it hits you, you are not in your bed.
You are resting on something soft, yet firm. Whatever the ground beneath you is made out of is extremely comfortable to the touch. The ground also feels like it is radiating a little bit of heat. It is just warm enough that you can understand why you did not want to wake up. When you look around you find nothing but a surreal landscape. You look like you are in a dense forest of snow white smooth limbless trees that soar into the air. There are also a few black ones off in the distance, but the white ones dominate the landscape.
Your hose is gone, but you do have a few little supplies lying around. For one thing your blanket is still here as well as some clothes, shoes, and other items for your personal hygiene. That appears to be all though. There is no one else around and you wonder just how you managed to get here. It does not seem like you could have walked here on your own even if you were sleep walking. “Hello, is anyone there?” you call out.
“Oh, you’re awake. Sorry I didn’t notice little buddy,” a voice said out of nowhere. The voice sounded like it was coming from above the trees. That did not seem possible though. Those trees looked like they were thousands of feet tall and you did not think you would be able to hear anyone shouting at you from above those trees.
Then something else added to the weirdness. Something incredibly huge started to descend through the trees. It was headed straight at you and you tried to run away from it. The black pointed object started to move in the direction you were running and you realized it was coming after you. Despite sprinting as fast as you could the object easily caught up to you and swept you off the ground.
The object started to lift you upward and you clung to it for dear life as you were elevated miles into the air at a mind boggling rate of speed. You were lifted beyond the trees and as you got further and further away from them you could start to make out patterns in the trees. It was mostly white like you had expected, but the black trees you had seen earlier formed what appeared to be ring like spots in the forest. After a few more seconds you could make out that the forest was not a forest of trees, but of fur. You were now able to make out that you had been resting on the back of paw that had to be a few miles long.
That was when you realized that you were riding on a claw that had to be well over a mile long. You were being raised toward the face of a massive feline. Due to the type of fur it had you guessed the feline was a snow leopard. Despite its size you could tell there was something else different about it. There was an opposable thumb on the paw that you could see. It also had one more surprise for you when you were so close to its mammoth face that you could not even see all of it. It could talk. “Good morning. Did you sleep well?,” it asked as its warm breath washed over you.
