Avani gasped and she sat up.

She had a slight headache and had cold sweat on her forehead.

Huh?

Where was the plastic monster thing?

Was she already dead?

No way.

She got up and she was still on the cloud.

"So...that was all just a dream...?" Avani wondered out loud.

The wind picked up as Avani walked around.

"So...what's real? Am I real? Is the world real? Is-"

The wind started swirling around her so fast that it took her breath.

Avani gasped and choked, but it was no use.

The winds were so powerful that she couldn't breath.

She started to feel light headed and she fell back onto her bottom.

She gasped and gasped until she had a little amount of oxygen.

But that oxygen wasn't oxygen.

It was something else.

It didn't make her feel alive.

It made her feel...

Dirty.

Dry.

Polluted.

She felt like she had so much pressure on her that she could snap right then and there.

Both emotionally and physically.

She choked and held her head back .

"Please...anything but this..."

Suddenly, the furious blowing winds stopped.

Her breathing was at a normal pace now.

But something else was different.

She felt...different.

Suddenly, she wasn't Avani anymore.

She was someone else.

"Why don't you just disappear and die? It is what we all want you to do."

"I-I can't..I still have-"

"What do you still have, huh? Your family, both related and non-related, have left you! What else do you have? Nothing. You don't have anything to fight for-"

"I still have myself!"

"Yourself? You've lost that months ago! Who is this freak standing here, controlling the nature, fighting weird plastic, huh? Who is this?"

Avani screamed.

Her eyes were wide and she gulped.

What was this?

It's like she was talking to someone else.

But no one's here.

"It's me, idiot."

It was Avani's lips that were moving.

No one else.

"What are you? I'm not possessed...am I?!"

"No no, didn't you beg for anything but the poisoned air? I'm giving it to you. You're just talking to yourself but you think you're someone else."

"So I'm torturing myself?!"

"Ha, not exactly-"

"Get out of my head!" Avani shrieked. "Get out get out get out!"
