"When is this going to end?"
I'd been falling like this for what felt like several minutes.
The fall seemed endless, and the weightless feeling was really scary.
Sunlight began to disappear the further I fell.
At first, I was worried I might get seriously hurt, but then I suddenly realized something.
Wait! This is just a dream.
Why should I get injured?
It should only be a slight pain, like last time.
Seconds felt like forever.
Anyway...
I braced myself, unsure of what I'd hit at the bottom.
But...
Huh?
Suddenly, the air around me slowed down, almost like the tunnel was catching me.
The falling sensation softened, and before I knew it, I gently landed on a cold, stone floor.
It was a surprisingly soft landing, like falling onto a cushion.
I stayed there for a moment, catching my breath, my heart still pounding from the fall.
