“I once dreamt to reach the unreachable, but I didn’t expect that dreams are the most reachable.” – Ansel

From north to south. From east to west. Ansel traveled the world in a loop. He sees the unimaginable in his dreams. He sometimes wishes that the clouds would knock on the window in his class’ and take him to the farthest mountains, away from everything. They are not rich. They only own a small amount of land that his mother put all her strength to pay for, in a few pennies she earns. As the time goes by, he learns that life outside the dreamland is impossible! He wishes to never wake up in one of the best dreams he ever had. Life in there gets too satisfying that he thought of never coming back.

“No…she is not looking for us. We just left a minute ago and barely stayed outside the dzinza.” 


“Shiba!” A girl among the group shrieked. 


I gazed upon her, looking worried. I became alert, thinking that she might be in trouble but instead saw her looking, with her eyes wide, at the boy in front of me. 


“Alright…alright.” He said in surrender and turned to their way. He was about to join them when I stopped him, taking my chances. 


“wait, kid.” I took a step forward. “Shiba, right? Are you guys heading back home?” 


He looked at me, surprised. He then glanced a look at his friends and lingered there for some time. From the looks of it, he might be thinking if it is a good decision to tag me along. 


He looked at me longer. I heard his friends complaining but I never lose the eye contact, silently trying to persuade him that I mean no harm. He then nodded, that made me heaved a sigh of relief.
