OMG I just had THE most awesome dream, and my stupid cat woke me up before it ended demanding to be fed, but I remember what I dreamed so just wrote it all down. I think it will make an AWESOME children's adventure story.
Don't worry, I promise no sparkly vampires will be involved. But there will be koi fish. And rainbow-colored goldfish, a few betta here and there. Lots of fish. They seemed to be a running theme throughout the dream, so they must be important. Not sure why, exactly, but I suspect they're the souls of children that the evil witch trapped in an upside-down fishbowl in a trunk, which is actually a doorway to a huge, underground labyrinth that's like a giant aquarium without water. So all the fun, swimmy, underwater action but plenty of ability to breathe.
It's weird, in the dream it was me and my two brothers going through the adventure. Like, when we were teens. So in the story there will be three siblings, only I'm thinking two sisters and a brother. And the hidden attic was in my grandparents house. But in the story it will be an old inn run by a grandmotherly-lady. I never saw the senile old lady in the attic before, though, who I suspect must be the witch. Hmmm....
Some details must still be worked out. Like why the witch is trapping souls, and how the kids free them.
But I adore my imagination right now ya'll have NO idea. lol
