Explosions sounded incessant.
It was brief but I could still feel my eardrums almost splitting.
The next moment, I felt my body separate from my head. However, I could still perceive the world around me.
Is this death? Did the dragon blow me up into pieces?
My eyelids started to feel heavy and I heard the monkeys crowding over.
I started to lose consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself on the ground.
I had a long dream about a journey to the west and treasure seeking in a cave.
In the dream, I had no control, as it was simply a movie playing out in the cinema.
I heard the monkeys calling out in slow-motion and just as I was about to pick up a precious gold band, my eyes flew open.
The moment they saw that I was awake, they started jumping up and down frantically.
I touched my torso and my head subconsciously. I definitely felt them ripping apart, but it was as if nothing happened.
