The Wonderful Journeys of Alvr
I could hear water, like a song. It was near to me, I smelt its fragrance. It felt my presence and played tunes, it seemed, just for me. Every note was mine and touched my heart. I felt I was within a dome made from a continuous string of diamonds and pearls and each one sparkled and shone in time with the music of the water. Moon and Jupiter were fully exposed and alight in the sky this night and ablaze with an opulence that made me gently breathe in.

Each moment was a feast of delight, a scene of continuous pleasure and wonder.
Something brushed my toes and I sat up, resting upon an elbow. At my feet was a family of the tiniest, furriest animals I had so far seen in this life. No surprises here as I was a traveller and each day brought something new and exciting for me to tell all my friends and family when I return from this current sojourn.
