Courtney looked at her small, drab room and sighed. Her dolls sat
in a corner along with her warrior princess outfit, sword, and
shield. She spent countless hours playing with these toys, one
moment giving tea to her dolls and the next fighting her friends as
the warrior princess. While her real world life had become a much
better place since she had visited Elysia every night, she still
missed her earlier childhood when she and both her parents spent so
much time together. She lived in a happy world then, one filled
with family parties, trips to the movies and parks, and just time
spent quietly together. Then, the anger and the darkness came. Her
father and mother, suddenly lost their jobs, and the arguments
started soon after. Her mom found work at another company, but her
dad did not find a new job. Then one day after a long argument the
police came and took her dad away. Courtney had seen him only once
from afar since that terrible day. In her mind, she journeyed back
to this time. Courtney, lay in her bed, waiting for sleep to come.
Just a few months ago, Courtney had been able to fall asleep as
soon as her head hit the pillow. When sleep finally came this
night, Courtney found herself in front of an elaborate wrought-iron
gate with a large sign reading "Elysia" set amid the swirling
pieces of iron. The sun shone very brightly, birds sang happily,
and sweet flower smells escaped from the spaces between the iron
bars of the fence. The place looked very much like illustrations in
her books, but instead of being pictures on a page or the more
fuzzy parts of the dreams she remembered, this place seemed very
real to her, as real as the life she ordinarily led. Even in her
eleven-year-old mind, Courtney knew this place could not exist, but
nonetheless she stood here.
