rushing water fills my eyes the sweet sound of a harp reaches my water clogged ears thrashing for life trying my hardest to stay above the tide the current wisking me away the sun burns my sea salted eyes music soothes my insides as i stare at the hand in mine "i can help you" says a man with kind purple eyes "play this harp dear boy, and you will never die" "never die?" i asked "but how can that be?" i stare at the man who stares back at me but he only smiles and points to the harp small and sturdy blue as the water i smile back at the kind man and take the harp tenderly in hand i start to play a soft tune the man in front of me starts to sway i smile and play more enjoying the seductive sound until my fingers burn but when i try to stop my fingers will not rest i stare at the man who laughs in my face "you will play until you die young sir, until the end of your days" * i just want to clarify that i'm a girl...thank u |

A spicy food dream? Hearing harp music and ocean waves... |

This is a scary dream, vivid recall, or wild imagination. very interesting. The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked. |

well my idea was originally that my character was drowning and the man saved him and tricked him into eternally playing the harp. it was a english project. thanks for the comments -ashe |
