If Dreams Had Directors, Mine was Definitely on Candy

Twisting in My Mind 🤯🌌 September 10, 2015

He told us not to share the magic word 🤐✨

Said if “outsiders” found out, it would be known and not in a good way 😳

He looked straight at me and said, “Play Tetris 🎮🧠. That’s how you’ll find the other answers.”

There was a rebellion planned for later that night 🔥⚔️ but honestly? I wasn’t interested. 😴

I was chilling 😎 at my Grandma Darling’s house 🏡💕.

She and my grandpa were already asleep 😴💤.

A few friends were over 🎉 and Marisa had invited a couple of hers too 👯‍♀️.

Some of her friends asked if we were going “tonight” 🕶️🌙.

We knew exactly what they meant 👀.

We both shrugged it off and said, “Nah, not our scene.” 🙅‍♀️🙅

And just like that I knocked out 🛌💤.

Then something woke me up... 😳✨

A strange, bright light was shining through the living room window 💡🌠.

I peeked through the shade 👀🪟 and that’s when things got wild.

The sky was lit up 🌌⚡

Messages were glowing literally written in light ✍️💡 across the clouds ☁️.

One was a glowing hand 🖐️ making a “come here” motion 👋.

Others read:

“It has begun.” 🔥👁️

It looked 🔥 electric, thrilling, and chaotic like a rave-meets-revolution 🪩🧨💃.

I looked around 🛋️. Everyone was still asleep 😴.

And I wondered... should I sneak out? 👣🕵️‍♀️

Then I saw kids loading into my van 🚐💨.

I ran outside 💨 to figure out what was happening.

The van was like a rave on wheels 🚐🔊🎆

Foil-lined walls, blackout drapes 🖤, and strobe lights flickering like a spaceship club 🚀🪩.

“Who’s taking my van?” I asked 🤨.

“Marisa,” they said casually 😐.

Absolutely not. 🚫

I went to find her 🏃‍♀️💥.

She was in the backyard 🌳🌌, music pulsing from all directions 🎶🔊.

Dub beats from nearby houses 🎛️, lights flickering in the trees 🌲💡.

Everyone around me was eating this tiny nut 🥜🌈.

Only a select few had been given one 🤫✨.

And then poof 💨✨ they’d vanish. Just like that. 🚫👤

People were coming back, eyes wide 👁️, begging for another nut 🙇‍♀️ because they wanted to return. 🌀

I turned to the one next to me.

“I’m going,” I said. “I have to see what this is.” 🚀👀

I popped the nut in my mouth 😬🥜.

He said, “You’re not going without me,” and ate his too 😤👉🥜.

Nothing happened... at first 🫠

Then we remembered:

You needed a sugar high to activate the nut 🍭🍬🍫

So we devoured candy like sugar-fiending children at a Halloween buffet 🎃👻🍭

Each bite lifted us higher and higher ⬆️⬆️✨

BAM 💥💫 I was somewhere else entirely.

A rehearsal room 🩰🎭.

I’d trained in dance for years 🩰💪 this place felt like home 🏠🩷.

I looked down:

Ballet shoes 🩰

A flowing garter belt 🩷✨

I was ready to perform. 🎶💃

Then I saw my dance partner...

Madonna.

YES. That Madonna 👑🎤🕺

We stepped forward... the spotlight calling us 🌟🎭

POOF 💨 back in my grandma’s living room 🛋️😵

No spotlight.

No stage.

Just the guy from earlier... about to throw hands with someone built like the Incredible Hulk 🟩💪💢

Apparently, the guy thought his nephew was given the nut 😠🥜

OMG 😂😂😂

Plot twists~ more than a Marvel movie 🎬🌀 written by a sleep-deprived wizard 🧙‍♂️💭
