The Red’s Dream

The Red’s Dream

During the night of loneliness…

During the night of loneliness, the rain poured down like a gushing waterfall on the dirty street. Everywhere was filled with cigarette butts, trashes and enormous puddles. A red unicycle was stuck in the corner of Eben’s Bicycle, having meaningless sale tags and signs pointing it. I was that unicycle, the only one in the corner. Unlike me, all the bicycles were out in the front where people can see and admire the shiny and attractive looks. This felt like as if I was in a jail, just trapped by myself. I thought, ‘I’m here in this worthless bicycle shop everyday but just a stupid unicycle that doesn’t even belong in this place. No one buys me but only look and talk about how cheap I am. All I want is going outside this place and get acknowledged by people. Only if…’
 Suddenly, I saw a stage and a clown sitting on top of my head. I was so surprised by this thinking, ‘Is this a dream or reality? This is what I wanted in my whole life!’ The spotlight was turned on with fanfares welcoming my arrival. I ran to the spotlight, feeling happier than anything I have experienced. The crowds cheered but it wasn’t up to my expectation. As the show went out, I had to help out the clown with his countless mistakes making me and him both look like an amateur. After a while, I felt bored and thought, ‘Is this what I wanted? Helping out a dumb clown with his mistakes? No! I won’t do this anymore!’ Therefore, I decided to trick the clown and have the spotlight for only me. The clown crashed down the stage and surprisingly, I had crowds wildly clapping at me. I started to juggle the balls and started to do difficult tricks. I thought, ‘Whoa! I can even do things that I hadn’t thought of! I wish I could do this show my entire life…’ 
 I woke up and realized that it was only a mere imagination. It felt like someone had just pulled my petal out, feeling so sick and depressed. ‘If the dream comes true, then I wouldn’t need to worry about anything but…’ I started to realize what I’m capable of. I can’t do anything in this corner of Eben’s Bicycle that nobody looks at. Everyday, I’ll be dreaming of being in the spotlight, then going back to reality, where everything is terrible. My life will never change… never…
