It was a fence. I didn’t like it.
We had moved to the country. I didn’t worry about school and the monsters anymore.
I had a huge field of my own, a puppy, and fresh air.
But here was also a fence. I started moaning and butting my head against it.
The fog lifted. I continued butting.
Some sheep wandered over to watch.
Awakening in a white room, I saw a white-coated man.
“Is the fence gone?” I asked my mother, who held my hand.
She nodded. Her eyes were wet. I wondered why.
I closed mine. I felt happy.

I put the url here, in any case:
