Writing Doodle 029 - Oneirataxia

Oneirataxia (n.) - The inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.




Everyone told it was it just her imagination. Of course, she didn't believe them. They gave her pills to help with the delusions. The pills were awful, so she never took them. They just didn't understand. No one ever understood.

The world she saw was beautiful, full of color, life, and love. When they forced her to take the pills, it all went away. The world was grey, lonely, and full of hate.

Even if what she saw wasn't real, it's not like it was doing any harm. If anything, it made her a better person, a happier person. Was that really so bad? According to them, it was.
