No. 2946
[Edit]
Yume gingerly put the headphones on, closing her eyes as she did so. After pausing for a few seconds, and nothing happening, the small seed of doubt had grown larger - that perhaps the old man was lying, and that he had played her for a fool. After all, the idea that he had gave her a pair of headphones that allowed her to enter the land of dreams seemed laughable. Why hadn't she realised before? With a mix of frustration, anger, and disappointment, Yume went to take the headphones off.
Yume froze. The familiar sight of her compact bedroom had disappeared; it had been replaced by a grand, spacious train station. Her once quiet surroundings exchanged with the hubbub of bustling commuters; her colourless bedroom substituted for the plethora of vivid colours that sprang from the scene before her. Ornate steam trains, more than she could count, soared gracefully into and out of the station, each passenger car filled with odd looking commuters. Yume smiled as she surveyed the passenger cars and their curious inhabitants. Samurai, spacemen, princesses, mice in top hats, several clowns, pirates, and a very large and grumpy looking cat were the occupants of just one passenger car. Yume examined the multitude of trains, unable to decide which one to board. Which train would she board? Where would she go? Each train seemed to offer an adventure, each adventure different from the last. Maybe these headphones aren't so bad after all, Yume thought to herself, grinning from ear to ear.
I'd really appreciate it if any anons could provide some constructive criticism, it'd be really useful
