This story comes from roughly the same period as an experience I had myself. I remember being conscious and fully aware, sitting upright in my bed and seeing what I perceived as several robed figures at the foot of it. Whatever happened next remains inaccessible.
As a kid, I wrote and illustrated a story called The Laughing Alien, about an alien from Archade who dreamed of becoming an astronaut, built his own spaceship, and ventured across the cosmos. Looking back, it feels like a little glimpse of the person I’d become lol. 👽🚀🌌
