A Hayu's Dream

with ice in it. The room we entered was like a hotel lobby. A long desk at one wall with a man came up from behind the counter and there were several gray couches scattered around the room. I saw that he was Human and dressed in some medieval outfit like a jester, complete with a hat with bells on it and slippers with bells too. He also had bells in scatter places on his colorful red and white outfit. He said his name was Jorge Lopez. He told us transportation would come to take us to the Winsted village. I asked him if he was one of the originals frozen. He told us no with a confused look on his face. I lip read him talking on the phone about me and what I told him. He works here at the visitor’s center. I found food wrapped up in a bag in my backpack. Sue had the same thing. I ate the food, which was like crackers while waiting for the transportation to come. After eating Sue got up and walked around. I can’t wait to see what Winsted Village looks like. Sue came back. She told me the area was breathtaking. I couldn't help agreeing with her.
Jorge came and led us outside to a red minivan vehicle with smoke coming from the wheels. Our transportation came and was like a gasoline car but it runs on solar and electricity power along with hydro lifts. The pilot introduced himself in the mini van. Said his name was Jeff Soldatev and he was oddly dressed like Jorge. He's a forties man who I asked him if he was frozen. He was confused at first. Sue explained about us catching a virus and frozen until cured of the virus. Jeff understood her. He told us he wasn't one of the original frozen. The car flew in the air. It reminded me of a plane ride. The view was spectacular. Waterfalls, crystal spires and there were narrow roads. I'm not sure what they were used for. The car flew over a tall mountain with a snowy patch then came to Winsted Village. The village is like an old eighteen century village, but it was surrounded by something that resembled the Great Wall of China, interesting. There was similar style houses scattered around several tall buildings. It reminds me of an eighteen century town preserved in Massachusetts. On the way I wondered where Sue and I are staying. I hoped we're staying together. The car landed in front of a house. The house is white colored with black shutters and a blue door with an awning over it. The house has wires running from it to a telephone pole. I think the house is partly solar powered. There were solar mirrors on the roof gleaming in the sun. There also were trees scattered around the neighborhood. The house looks like the other houses. It looks like it's made of foam with plastic in it. Several houses are sitting in a row. We left the car and walked up the door of the house. The door opened.
Sue told me a voice obviously a computer said "Hello, Sue and Beth welcome to your house."
Inside the entranceway was a living room. It was furnished with furniture. There was a couch at one end of the room. The couch was white colored. Opposite to the couch was a brown round table with silver chairs nailed to the floor. Then we explored the house. We discovered next to the living room was a kitchen and, appeared to be a TV room with a flat screen TV seen. Through the kitchen and was a short hallway was two barely furnished rooms on both sides of a bathroom. The bathroom had a tub with a sliding door. Then again through the kitchen to upstairs were the attic and two bedrooms. One bedroom was on my right and the attic with the other bedroom was on my left. Both bedrooms had furniture in it. It had a floor length foam mattress and in wall dressers. I took the bedroom on my right above the bathroom. Sue took the bedroom down a narrow hallway opposite the attic. I dropped my backpack on the bed and went to explore the rest of the house. Sue and I went to the kitchen. The house is like twentieth first century looking. There's a microwave and a refrigerator. There was a door in the wall next to the window. I opened a door and found the stairs to down stairs to the basement. The basement was interesting. It had a bathroom and a kitchen unit and it had a room full of boxes. Opening one, I found that I was being led to it like the house has a ghost, which the box has canned food in it. Oh the refrigerator was empty I checked it before going down the basement. There was also laundry room. The room was white with a washer and dryer. I somehow knew it was a washer and dryer from the looks of it. It was like someone told me it was a washer and dryer. There also is a sun room. The downstairs kitchen has a stove but no refrigerator. I took a box from the paneled wood room up stairs to the kitchen. The oddest thing is I felt like someone handed me a box and pushed me upstairs. I opened it and found canned and boxed food. I read the labels and put food in cupboards and the refrigerator. Sue followed me and did the same. I looked through other boxes and found practical things like silverware, lamps and a clock. Sue and I spent the rest of the afternoon putting things from boxes away. This explains why I'm tired. I also felt like we had unseen help. Like the boxes I picked up were at first heavy then became lighter as if someone was helping me carry it after that Sue went to her room.
I decided to find toothbrushes and toothpaste. I looked through two boxes that were empty. One my third box I found the toothbrushes and the toothpaste. I think the unseen help put them there because I heard a noise and the toothbrushes and the toothpaste appeared. I put them in the bathroom. The bathroom downstairs has a shower stall. I wonder what we're doing tomorrow. We could knock on doors and meet the neighbors. I can't wait to meet them.
My room has a flat screened TV on the wall in front of the bed with some kind of thin VCR. There's a weird keyboard that looks sunken to me. In the basement I found a box of thin computer disks like videos. There's a whole box full of videos from my favorite show complete with all of the five seasons is there. I read the backs of the videos. I checked the videos and the TV there are closed captioned.
I checked the weather report. The news is different. Instead of a person showing a screen of weather report, they show just a screen with the weather report. That was interesting. The weather is going to be sunny tomorrow. It'll be in the sixties. I checked the dresser. I found dresses with thin tight like pants that seem to be thick tights in different colors. I tried one on and modeled it. I could have sworn that there was a flash in my room like someone took a picture. The dress was tight at the chest and flared at the waist. It oddly reminded me of medieval European dress. It sure explains why Jeff and Jorge were dressed as jesters. I also checked the closet. There's a black cloak that fits me. I discovered the TV is also like a computer. I can go online the internet. The service is fast. I went online and checked Planet Terra. It highest degree is seventy degrees. The lowest is said to be ten degrees below zero but the computer isn’t saying much about that. It is cold here. The house is warm. Sue must have found the heater switch and turned it on. The house is warm as seventy degrees. I checked online. Houses no longer run on oil. They run on electricity and solar power along with hydraulic power. I think I'll go to bed now. I'm not sure what time I'll be up. I guess maybe early because the driver Jeff warned us, that there maybe an early council meeting in the community center. It's the largest building in the middle of a bunch of houses. Jeff pointed this out while doing a flyby of it in the flying car. The oddest thing was the building appeared after a puff of smoke like the area was a golf course and then the building like a castle appeared. He told us there is always a council meeting at 10am. I hope I'm up at 8am.
I went to shower and change my clothes. I'm tired. Mathew told us the damage from the virus left a side effect always tired. He added it might be awhile before the body heals from the damage. He wasn't specific on what the damage was. I feel fine. I like to shower before bed. I went and took a shower. I came out to the kitchen and saw Sue come up the stairs from the basement. Her hair was wet. I think she took a shower. We helloed each other and giggled at the sight of each other dressed in a long v-neck T-shirt. Ha. Then we both went upstairs. I guess we're both tired. I tried a video of my favorite TV show and discovered why it was hours long. It included all of the scenes that were cut out I think I'll go to bed now. I don't know what time I'm going to be up tomorrow. I can't wait to stop feeling tired.
Yawn,

Dear Anne,
Sue
waked me up by pinching me in the arm that it hurt. I woke up and looked at Sue. She apologized but I glared at her and told her outright to tap me awake. She explained the computer voice woke her up and told her that there was a council meeting at 10am. I was annoyed but I thanked her. She left my room. I turned my TV on for the weather report.
"High sixties possibly sixty five, dress warmly there maybe snow later on."
Speaking of snow there's snow outside on the ground outside the window. I saw animal prints in the snow and made me instantly think of wolves. I can't believe I didn't notice. I looked in my closet for boots. I found a pair of black furry boots. I decided to wear the boots but I felt like I was decided this fact because the boots mysterious appeared in front of me in the closet. I changed my clothes by putting on one of the dresses. It had a brown thick woolen skirt that fell towards my waist and a white attached top that I felt someone helped me put on. The top was flared at the sleeves and had a round circler collar that left my collar bone exposed. I also I felt like a person in
