The dragon, #4

Paul looked at the creature,
just like him it had two wings.
Just like him it was blue.
Just like him, it looked scared and confused.
Paul walked towards this stranger.
The other creature walked towards him as well.
And just as when they were about to meet,
Paul was stopped.
It was as if he couldn't take another step.
Whenever he tried he kept being pushed back.
He could see the other creature do the same thing.
Trying to get to him, but couldn't.
It started to hurt, the wall might be invisible, but it was as solid as a rock.




That was Paul's first encounter with a mirror.

The dragon, #3

Paul suddenly woke up, he wondered where he were.
Then he remembered what had happened, and he peeked out from the clothes.
He heard a loud noise, he looked around.
All other piles of clothes were gone, except the one he was hiding in.
He saw them in a weird machine that was spinning them around.
He jumped up and ran away from the clothes,
he did not want to end up in the scary machine.

He hadn't paid attention to where he was going when he ran away from the scary thing.
Now he looked around and realised he has entered a new world.
And as he looked around this strange new place, he saw something he had never seen before.

He was face to face with another creature that looked just like him!

The dragon, #2

One day when Paul was hard asleep in his laundry basket something that had never happened before happened.

The basket was knocked over. It fell down, and out with it fell Paul.

He woke up with a thud, not knowing what had happened. It felt very strange, because under his feet there was not the normal softness of the laundry basket, but something hard and cold. It had a strange colour as well. He looked around, and was shocked. His world had always been the laundry basket, suddenly it had grown to a size that he could not comprehend. He looked around again, trying to find a place that looked like home. In a corner he saw a pile of something that looked an awful lot like his laundry basket. It was a pile of clothes. He quickly ran over and buried himself. He did not want to look around, he did not want to see what was surrounding him, he just wanted his home back.

This new, big world was frightening. He wanted the familiarity and safety of his laundry basket back. He rolled up at the bottom of the pile furthest in the corner. Sobbing he cried himself to sleep in this new, scary world.
