I pressed the wrong button, and the whole world disappeared. Everything, the walls, the ceiling, the floor, even the crowded city, the background mountains, the horizon, the stars, the moon, the night sky and the earth, everything disappeared.
I was standing on nothing, or maybe falling through nothing. When there is nothing around, it makes no difference. Suddenly I saw a sea turtle in front of me. She asked me if we could be friends.
I hated sea turtles, they always ate my tulips. But at that moment, I had no choice. Most importantly, I didn’t have any tulips left.
"Ok, let's be friends," I said. "But you must give me a sea urchin to replace my tulips."
"So be it," said the sea turtle.
At that moment, I found myself under the sunshine of Zanzibar.

I once was very worry that I will be the only person alive when the world ends. It's kind of like that kind of feeling. But even if that happen, I still won't appreciate to have a sea turtle as a friend... They are just too different from us. They live under sea, and we are land animals.... don't you think? And what about the tulips? What's that suppose to mean?
I don't like Zanzibar... sea water make me rusty... I rather live in a world that has nothing.
