I was inside a matchbox. I was rather big for the box, but for some weird reasons, I was inside it. I supposed that was my world. It was brightly lighted by a neon yellow streetlight. All I could see were things beyond my comprehension.
I saw flying Siopao. Lots of them. They have small wings like those in Mirmo de Pon. Their wings have neon pink and neon orange streaks on them. They have no lips, but they smiled at me. They have no eyes, but they glanced at me. They have no ears, but they heard me when I murmured to myself, "Siopao cannot fly. It shouldn't be."
I saw swimming books. Different kinds of them. Some of them were To Kill a Mockingbird, The Awakening, Sherlock Holmes Volume II, All the King's Men. Pride and Prejudice and In his own write. They were swimming in a pond of strawberry jam. They were swimming aimlessly. Then, I saw All The King's Men waved its cover on me. It was a horrible moment for me. As he waved his right cover, it dissolved in thin air colored emerald pink (if there was such a color!). Then, his left cover attempted another greetings, but it got soaked by a gush of peanut butter. His pages drowned in the depth of that strawberry jam.
I saw running numbers. They were bumping into each other. With each bump, a new combination began to exist. Like that of 6 and 9. They was the third to the best numbers product ever when 69 made it to the "Ten Most Famous Numbers of the Year." It was a puzzling sight. All the numbers were running like mad with their attachable/detachable legs.
I could not make sense of my world. It was colorful and bizarre at the same time. No wonder my life had been in static nowadays.
PS
I have no idea why I wrote this while in the office.
I wrote a short story with the setting inside a matchbox. I died while writing. It was for my Pagsulat ng Kwentong Popular class aka pocketbook writing class. I had two very different reaction for the short story. Some of my classmate liked it (very much, even) while my prof thought otherwise.
