Chapter 2
There was a light mist falling from the white ceiling above. Millie's eyes became starry as the mist started to settle on her brows, gently reminding her she was still in a foreign world. The mist slowly turned into rain drops, but these were no ordinary rain drops. Golden drops of rain started to descend from the lights above.
"Could it be the lights' reflection?" Millie wondered out loud.
But no, the rain drops themselves were pure gold. They fell as normal as rain itself, but if one were to sit out a bucket, they would have golden water within minutes. The white floor started to form little puddles all around. They were dancing and swaying with an unknown wind from the East. Ripples from the puddles began to take shape as Millie noticed the land was starting to become like a small pond. One would want to go play and jump around if no teachers were looking, but Millie could not help but stare at the spectacle in front of her.
Golden waterfalls not more than twenty feet away started gushing down from the ceiling above. It was as if someone has opened a hatch and let summer in. The lights were now more yellow than white as one would suspect and the waters' glory was starting to roar. Like every great waterfall, the sound was toxically beautiful amongst the dead silent lights. The smooth glossy floor was no longer white and bare, but golden and full.
"But where will all this water go?" thought Millie.
Looking around Millie could see no living creature in sight. Her tattered blue jeans and her brown moccasins were starting to become a nuisance as the puddles of gold started to rise up to her ankles. She was beginning to realize this place may be dangerous and she began to feel uneasy. The box like nature of the new world started to close in on her slowly as the golden rain began to reach her knees and the waterfalls ahead didn't seem like quitting anytime soon.
"Help! Someone!" Millie shouted.
