Date: ... does it matter? I think not.
You know how every day is; I get up, get dressed, work, eat, shower, sleep and repeat. I don't dream, unlike most people. But... I dreamt today.
It looked so real... it even felt real. I remember feeling a faint ocean breeze about me and a few others. It was night, but we were staring out at the sea looking at this odd-looking blob that was coming towards us. From what I could tell, this was not a normal occurance here for everyone was quiet. The air was so tense, nobody was making any sort of sound except a group of tattooed warriors who were doing some sort of tribal dance or something. As the blob came closer, I identified it as a ship, actually a few. Maybe two.
A little boy grabbed hold of my hand, and for the first time I noticed something. I was tan. Not only that, but I was wearing a dress of red, black and white. Once the little boy saw my expression, he led me to a small water hole, so I could see myself. My hair was brown, but the same length and I still had those two curls. I had a tattoo starting at my bottom lip, to my chin. My eyes were... well.. they were the same.
It was me, but it wasn't me.
My train of thought snapped when a lady screamed. I ran back to the people and saw the ships just a few metres away from us. I ordered the group of warriors to go and talk to the people on the ship in a tounge I don't know. A few of them got in two canoes and paddled towards the ships. After a few minutes of trying to talk to them, the warriors gave up an paddled back.
We gave up and went to sleep, thinking the ships would be gone. They weren't. So, we sent the warriors again, but this time on one canoe. Communication remained impossible. From what I could tell on the shore, the people on the ship were trying to temptmy the warriors onto their ship! They refused to get on, and most of the people on the ships went inside of them.
I used this time to order more of my warriors to get on canoes and go towards the ships. By the time the people came back, there was about seven more canoes waiting for them. I quickly ordered an attack and one of the canoes rammed into a ship. At that moment I think I felt... proud? I'm not sure.
Anyhoo, one of the canoes made off with a person from one of the ships, and all of the canoes starting coming back. The people on the ships started to fire at my men, but missed, as my men were already on the shore. The ships started to set sail, but I decided this wasn't over. I sent all of my warrior on canoes after them. The ships stopped and waited, then shot down one of my warriors. The canoes retreated.
Then, I woke up.
