THE FERRIS WHEEL BESIDE AN OLD BUILDING

A DREAM:

There were two boys playing beside an old building...

Suddenly, a huge Ferris Wheel appeared and attached itself to that old, decaying building...

The Ferris Wheel looked like a Time Machine, but still, it was a Ferris Wheel, with a circular form 

and an UP and DOWN motion...

There were chairs, too, and a machine that rolled over.

One boy asked his playmate: "Come with me, let's take a ride."

The other boy couldn't say no to his friend, and went along with him to ride on the Ferris Wheel.

The two boys went up to the 17th floor of the old building, for it was there where the Ferris Wheel chair was easier to climb.

It was a joyous ride as it turned up and down.

But, after one up and down turn only, it abruptly stopped at the 16th floor.

The boy who invited his friend told the other: "You can go down from here and I will follow."

In his face was a peculiar emotion, almost uncertain, almost sad.

And the other boy simply followed his command and he went down from the Ferris Wheel and saw the "16th" floor sign of the building.

When he looked back to where his friend was.

He was GONE.
