Akkhiems story Part 2.

Eyes closed and lying on a hammock peacefully Akkhiem remembered the town, the lion, disappearing in a flash of light and floating in what seemed to be a river of warmth and light. What seemed like days after disappearing Akkhiem found himself lying in a hammock atop a rolling green hill that was peppered with palm trees. Slowly he stood noticing for the first time that he was wearing a white robe that was soft and seemed to radiate light. Walking down the hill he felt an amazing sense of peace like a warm blanket over his once aching heart. As he walked closer to a dense forest of palm trees he saw an old man standing at a gate that was covered with vines. Shuffling forward Akkhiem said to the man "Hello" the gatekeeper replied "Welcome young one, I see great sadness in your eyes you can leave that out here" Then the man opened the gate and Akkhiem hesitantly walked in. Akkhiem saw a village with huge trees of every kind sprawled over a field with a gigantic network of tree houses linked together by rope bridges and on the ground he saw houses of every kind and in the middle of the field was a Gigantic gazebo. As soon as he saw th gazebo he heard a sweet chorus of voices and the sound of every instrument playing together in one perfect symphony. He also saw hundreds of people laughing and singing but what most captivated his attention was the lion dancing so gracefully yet he was so strong. As he neared the middle he saw five people break off from the group and run to him. It was his family! They ran into his strong embrace and cried tears of joy. Now they are forevermore together in perfect happiness.

I'm in a college level creative writing class at the moment and I have to be honest, this was better than most of the things I read from the other students!

Keep writing! You can be the new Ted Dekker :)
