Share your imagination of fantasy, Magic or happy stories here, so others can enjoy

Hi everyone,

This is a thread I thought might be a helpful form of relaxing, for both writing your very own virtual fantasy peaceful escape from our busy lives..Maybe you just need to sit back, read and relax or maybe you want to go on your virtual fantasy escape and put it in here for other to read or join you...

Please give it a go, you might find it a great distraction from negative thoughts, as I do..and others can escape with you.

I started walking into the tunnel, looking around, the ceiling and sides were covered with tiny little bright pink,yellow and darkest blue tiniest flowers you could imagine, the ground was of the darkest, thickest, greenest grass, so soft I take my shoes off and feel the cool refreshing grass under my feet and between my toes, so relaxing as I continue walking towards the sun rays I can see up ahead...lol my feet are green from the softness and greenness of the grass.

Out through the other end of the tunnel, I'm greeted by, a brilliant sky of orange, purple, and clouds of the deepest greyish red, a sun that's setting in the distance..I stand and take in the beauty of the sky, a feeling of serenity passes through me...Walking further ahead I come across the same thick carpet of lush cool green grass, feeling serene and grounded I continue until I come to a small waterfall, that falls into a crystal clear lake with tiny brightly coloured butterflies flying around, they are beckoning me to enter the lake. On entering the lakes crystal clear water I head towards the waterfall, there I sit in the water with the gentle waterfall cascading onto my head, down my back, the feeling of the water running down me is just pure relaxation, the water surrounding my body is so cool and refreshing yet peacefully relaxing..I stay there it's to good to move, then I see the Butterflies flying around me, dropping tiny little sachets into the water the water becomes bubbly, bubbles of lavender scent , as the waterfall hits the water the bubbles are multiplying so much that they start to tickle my skin..The scent of the bubbles begin to make me feel sleepy..relaxed....

My eyes lids are so heavy, they want to close, slowly they close, as they do a gentle breeze blows, and I can here the tranquil sounds of wind chimes in the background so peaceful so gentle the sound, the sounds fading deeper and deeper into the background..my body, my mind is relaxed beyond belief as I slowly drift off into a peaceful, tranquil,deep sleep..

Grandy.

Dear Karen.

Thank you for giving the gift of your wonderful ability to tell a good fantasy tale to everyone here.

I do not have your ability, so am here to read only. There are definitely times that I need to escape from reality, even if only for a short time.

So thanks Karen for providing a safe place to come and do that.

I will be reading along as stories 'hit the press'.

Wow Grandy that's amazing, felt the grass felt it all. Love the tinsy flowers and butterflies then dropping sachets. Whole thing's exceptional 🏆

Thanks so much providing a sanctuary of peace for us

Hopefully Wolfys here? I've got a copy.

Yikes in a good way. High standards from you and Wolfy but I'm learning from the best so happy with that.

I'll definately be back to release 🤗

Hi Grandy,

Loved your story! I hope you don't mind me adding my own in here, I could use a calming distraction right now!

The sun shines down through the red gum forest, sending rays of light to shooting down to the canopy below. Ferns and fallen logs litter the ground. One log is lightened by a ray of light and I make my way off the thin dirt path and move towards it. As I get closer, I notice the small white mushrooms growing in the shade of the log. No bigger than my little finger, they stand on their thin stalks stretching towards a shaded sky. I lay down on the damp forest floor, my green clothes becoming part of the scenery. As I lay still, a bright blue and black fairy-wren chirps and hops it's way over to the log I'm inspecting.

His trill signals his family and soon there's four brown females and an immature male brown with blue flecks throughout his feathers. They hop and collect bugs from the log as I lay as still as possible so I don't startle them and scare them away.

Soon I hear the chorus of the other birds around me. Slowly the forest that I thought was so quiet comes to life with an abundance of sound. Kangaroos hop past and a koala grunts in the distance. I relax in my place, the animals around me giving me a glimpse into their world.

Only a short one for the moment. That really helped! Thanks so much for creating this thread! I can't wait to read what others add!

Kind regards,

Lici

Lici — Thu, 17 May 2018 12:26:32 GMT

Hi demon,

Thanks for your lovely compliment! I love writing so much, it's been a constant throughout my life. Hopefully I'll think up of some more over time to share 😊 I don't think you need to learn, I wrote that by just imagining one of my favourite conservation parks to go bird photographing. Maybe you could write something to do with one of your favourite hobbies? It helps to write what you know and I'd love to read it!

The sun is just setting when we both started our little journey to a night of peace, and tranquility. The clouds were tinted with crimson and gold, against the darkening blue of the evening sky, we sit and watch the sun fully set, ending another day.

We look towards the heavens and see the glimmering twinkle of the first star that beamed so brightly that night, then other stars began to follow which started a sea of stars stretching across the horizon, with tiny dots of greens, reds, blues, oranges, gold, from the moon beams shining on the stars. The air was so mild and fresh. We slowly walked, holding hands as we are in awe of this beautiful place then we stumbled across large pond that lay directly ahead of us.Two large water Lilly beds floating on the calm crystal clear water beckoning us to come and lay down and rest, relax, and to empty our minds of today activities...Ah as we lay down a gentle breeze stirs and then we hear the delicate soothing sounds of the wind chimes as they fill the air, and we're gently floating and rocking with rippling of the pond.

As we lay their in absolute peace, listening to the gentle calming music from the wind chimes, the water Lily beds started to slowly sink and a waterfall came out of the bottom of the pond, sitting are now sitting under the softly flowing waterfall. the waterfalls water is warm and the water feels so good as it falls onto our hair and down our shoulders then into the crystal pond we're sitting in...We feel ourselves, just totally relax.. tingling from the warm water.

We slowly get out of the pond so relaxed and tired that we lay down on beds made of flowers and we just gaze at the stars, as they delicately show off the greens, reds, Gold, and blue little sparkles as they twinkle away, and as are watching the stars, little pixies start brushing our hair with a massage brush, as the brush passes on our head and through our hair the sensation is pure relaxation as our heads tingle with the gentle pressure of the brush, again and again, the pixies continue to brush our hair we continue to watch the glittering twinkling stars until watching becomes hypnotic and our eyelids start getting really heavy,, we fight the tiredness trying to saviour the peace we feel and the beauty in the stars...but it's to hard to keep our eyes open...we finally surrender to a peaceful deep sleep....zzzzzzz

Grandy..

Writing can be very therapeutic and is a great for Distraction. Why not give it a go..xx

That was great Grandy loven the moon beams colours shining on the stars and how good was that the lily pads sinking and the waterfall let alone the stars.

Yes I'll be doing some, you guys are a tough act to follow 👍so more practice for me first but I'll get started on our Campfire, got things in my head so time to paper it so to speak

Hello Deebi, everyone,

Something to distract you for a little while, enjoy.

The walk along the country lane is so peaceful and cool as the flowers, vines and the mossy walls hide the confusion and noise of the outside world, there are butterflies, honey eaters, bees, colourful finches, all flittering around and enjoying the purest honey and nectar from the brilliant flowers that are in abundance growing along the walls and ceiling of this country lane way..While walking along I could see the sun rays coming through from the exit a little way further down the lane..As I reach the exit I have this sense of anticipation, what's ahead what's the I cant wait to see what's out the doorway, then I see it, The water fall that has a silvery glistening look to the water as it flows over the The mossy green rocks at the top and the greenest grass and the weeping willows as it's leaves are swaying gently in the breeze.

I decide that I want to rest so I sit on the edge with my feet dangling in the crystal clear water, looking up in awe as the water cascades over the mossy rocks at the top..I'm just sitting their taking in the sound of the water as it falls, this sounds of the birds as the sing and play in the water..Sitting and dangling my legs over the edge as I sit their at the extreme bottom of the water fall, water falling over my head, down my back and totally relaxing me enough to take in the splendour and the tranquility of the overall picturesque scene.

I lay back on the grass looking up at the white clouds floating across the deep blue of the sky, , when tiny little honey eaters and butterflies start flickering around me and landing and headed towards the flowers and landing on the daffodils, tulips, gardenias, roses, and Lilly of the valley, I just lay their watching them...and taking in the beautiful scents of those gorgeous flowers. The gentleness of these fragile creatures leave me in a state of amazement, as they gently collect the sweet nectar from the flowers. A butterfly lands on my nose and that's when I seen the tiniest little fairy waving and smiling at me..The little honey eaters have tiny pixies on their backs, the pixies magical creatures, giggling away sprinkled some dust over me. I continued to just lay there, feeling the tension, anxiety, depression seep out of my body and into the greens mossy grass, at the same time a great feeling of peace and joy took over my persona a place anyone of you can come no relax for a while.

Grandy.

Hello everyone.

I dived into the water to escape my captive mind, maybe going for a swim in the ocean is what I need to distract myself from these dark thoughts..I dived in and resurfaced then I climbed onto a water floating bed,.I could sleep so easily here, peaceful, serene, sea gulls flying overhead letting out a little squawk every so often..My stress anxiety, sadness seemed to float away with the water. I layed on my back and start to watch the clouds floating across the dark blue of the sky, changing shape and floating around in the air it was beautiful, as the low level flat clouds were spread-out to the horizon, looked like the very ocean I was floating on, then the pure white thick fluffy cotton ball like clouds hid parts of the endless sky but still I could see its infinite beauty, as the clouds kept floating ever so slowing, hypnotic kind of...then I saw the large fluffy cotton ball cloud started to move and turn in every direction until it was floating and expanding itself this particular cloud floating ever so slowly across the sky it's mesmerising to watch, as the cloud parted it presented a beautiful deep Dark blue sky underneath, how simple it looked yet it seemed to hold all of our thoughts, our dreams, our secrets. the blueness of the sky started to darkened as the sun slowly setted in to give a magical showing of the clouds being painted all shades of gold as the brilliant sun rays gleam began to spray out its sun rays and outlined the cotton-ball clouds in a blazing glow of reds, oranges, gold. that presented itself as the beginning of a wonderful sunset. I slowly drifted and the floating water bed came to rest on the edge of a small island.

I closed my eyes as my eyelids were getting heavy...I layed There with eyes closed .I was listening to the sounds of nature, a whale in the distance was singing it sounded so sad.....like he was crying..then the sounds of the ocean water as the little white caps would beak and sound like a child jumping in a puddle..the occasional sounds of a sea gull way off into the distance, I could hear delightful music from wind chimes the sound was so mind tingling, it made my whole body relax..I was just floating, everything sounded a far distance away it's like I was floating further and further away from my body, my mind felt so totally relaxed, my eyes hard as I tried I couldn't open them. They wanted to stay closed my mind wanted to take the peaceful place I was in and sleep...and sleep.

Hi everyone.

Amongst the glorious hills of the forgotten mountains, the magical and very beautiful unicorns running wild and free and playing in amongst the wild roses, daffodils, Lavender, poppies, just about every flower that there ever is filling the air with an almost intoxicating scent.. While the unicorns are running and playing so joyfully, the brilliant sunshine glows onto their golden horns and sends peace and happiness to every living creature all over the world.

Little Pixies cared for their very own Unicorn, So every week they would play their little golden harps and sure enough the unicorns came appeared before them waiting in high expectations of a joy filled day..The little pixies would play with their unicorn and climb onto their golden horns and the unicorn gentle threw them into the pixies up into the air, and they landed softly on the unicorns backs...Away they all went for a full day of fun and play in the lower area of the mountains, in between the thick ferns, shrubs, tall flowering plants they sang and play for hours ..When they were tired they would sit under the huge trees right next to a beautiful crystal clear lake, where the unicorns drank and rested..The pixies then all went to gather some wild berries and brought them back to the unicorns they all had a lovely feast. But the pixies all full and sleepy after the berries, unexpectedly fell asleep.

The unicorns had so much fun today they didn't want it to end, so they quietly got up and tippy hoofed every so softly passed the pixies...The unicorns wanted to play in the Crystal clear lake, the water was warm as they splashed each other with the water and laughing happy little laughs...which woke up the pixies. The unicorns joined now by the pixies were all splashing and playing with each other in the lake, they were having so much fun, that they didn't realise that the sun was setting.

They all sat and watched the beautiful sunset as it turned the remaining clouds a very vivid dark Purple with fiery red edges and a soft pinky mauve centre, that stretched out over the horizon as far as you could see..the sky was a brilliant golden red and golden Pink and yellow, even the trees tops had looked golden as the magical rays of the remaining sun, slowly disappeared behind the horizon...It was the perfect ending to a perfect day..and a promise that a brand new day was soon to arrive.

The unicorns and pixies fell asleep where they were in anticipation of there brand new day.

Grandy.

Hello Everyone..

The fairy and us..l

When my friend and I were children, our family lived in a beautiful but old old farmhouse.....We loved playing and exploring all its dusty corners and looking for hidden passages.......But our favorite thing was the tiniest little fairy that lived in our lovely dolls house....We called her Flora because she was such a beautiful, very kind and nurturing little fairy......She loved caring for us..Some mornings my friend and I would wake up we would be so excited because Flora would put some yummy sweet honey biscuits in the dolls house for us. even some apple juice..Flora had left them there, because she loved us..andcwanted us to be safe & happy.

During the day we would put Flora gently in our pocket and take her outside so she could see the flowers the bees, and butterflies flying around the lovely flowers.....Flora would flicker her wings and the beautiful blue and black butterfly would fly over to Flora so she could climb up and go for a ride along the tops of the beautiful flowers.. Flora cannot fly because she has a spell put on her...so she stays in my dolls house and I take her out everyday so she can spend her day amongst the flowers......a bad witch cast a spell on her. The only way to break this spell is through love and care, mixed with compassionate and gentleness so...Tonight being Halloween the spell on Flora can be broken....All it will take is a group of gentle, caring, lovely, compassionate and very devoted friends to help the other friend to be the best they can....and to all together make a wish on the brightest star around....”Deestarbi”...We must say three times all together......Flora is gentle and kind give her back her wings please..........Then when Flora gets her delicately beautiful wings back, she can fly around the flowers and she will give to everyone, that stops long enough, to mindfully smell and admire a flower.....Flora will give them a gift of peace..

So come on...all together....now...make that wish....okay.....
now believe in yourself and your wish for Flora .....and next time your walking..or sitting outside take some time to be mindful and practice mindfulness when you come across a baby of Mother Nature....a beautiful flower... enjoy it for the beauty, the scent, the velvet touch...the magic of the sun, which made it bloom, the wonder of the rain, which made it grow... and remember the tiny little fairy you that you helped to get her wings back....

Grandy...

I love writing stories and poetry wrote story called lily the ducks birthday its back at home kids book but not published.

Rose was sitting in the swinging chair on the porch out the front of her families farm watch ad the sun rise. She could hear the cows in the pasture waiting to be fed. She got up and went out to the stables to see her horse ruby rose. Ruby was the horse she had since she was little the horse was a champion show jumper.

Today was a month away from the county fair where she was to participate in a show jumping completion. Last year she had won it made her feel good she loved her horse her late mum had got ruby for her. Her mum was unique a world champion eventing which was three events. disciplines of dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. This required several types of riding.

She really missed her mum it had been two years now since her death.

She started grooming ruby thinking back when she just got her.

Reminiscing in the old days when she was young. She had three brothers and two sisters they were working on the farm this morning. She kept grooming ruby when she noticed this medium build man with a mighty fine six pack coming towards the farm a chiseled jaw and bright blue eyes.

That's all I got for now hope you like it I always try to write romance but I'm not that good at it more like writing children's stories.
