“Every time I'm about to sleep i always hoped that i would wake up in a world where they're real.”

“Why must you be fictional?"
“I’m not. I just happen to be in a different reality."

"What I desperately wish is that I could be fictional with them. It's not that I want them here with me in this mundane and ordinary world; it's that I want to join them in their extraordinary one."

“One day, we’ll wake up to the truth we can now only dream of”

[ Notes ]

Everybody goes somewhere when they dream. A place to rest or hide. A place to meet and dance with yourself or a lost loved one. Waking up is inevitable, but there’s a reunion at the end.

[ Lyrics ]

down in the valley
where the river meets the sea
a little town awaits
for you and me

my mother’s love to hold
i’ve been carrying it around
this melody to hum
till i come back home

down in the valley
where the river meets the sea
a little town awaits
for you and me

you’ll adore the people
they’ve been asking who i’ve found
who hummed along with me
on the way back home
 
and you hummed along with me
on the way back home

Welcome to Booville!

This small town in Massachusetts is famous for it’s ancient graveyard (dating back to the 17th century) and high amounts of allegedly paranormal activities.. though the locals think that these are all just tales and superstitions to invite toursists.

A wolf howl in the distance. It’s a cool night. The whistling wind ruffles the trees, scaring a black cat. The graveyard sits in front of an abandoned church.

[ story ]

3 witches live next to a creek that turns into a river. they wash their clothes there. the water is very clear. the treehouse / mushroom is surrounded by the Wicked Woods, where a lot of magical woodland creatures and critters live. the cobblestones towards it are framed by lots of red mushrooms speckled with white they have a vegetable patch and a big garden, where they get fresh ingredients for cooking and crafts. 

frogs outside croak at each other from a distance, creating a harmonious ingle to wake up the forest. one of the witches yawned, still drowsy, accidentally someone stepped on Mr. Whiskers’ tail - which woke him up too. The cat laments. He used to be a regal Persian prince in his past life.. before he was cursed to be a cat for the next 9 lives. the catch of being nearly immortal is to have his tail gets stepped on everyday.

A new coven member is a sound witch and theremin player. She practices in the morning. Her familiar, Kipper, a cute axotl despite a little challenged, starts singing in gibberish.

A magic broom sweeps the place by itself. Crystals hang from the ceiling, reflecting the sunlight coming through the window. They make rainbows on the walls.

A witch pours coffee, and cooks bacon and omelet in the kitchen.

Another witch starts working / doing entrepreneurship stuff in the living room. In the midst of this peaceful morning, they can hear Babushka down the street starts yelling at the woodland creatures who managed to sneak into her garden to steal some vegetables again. It's kind of a daily occurrence. The witch tries to call the landlord of the forest to report the noise complaint, but it was unanswered. So she sends an an angry, i mean, passionate email about the matter instead.

The morning breeze rustles the trees, drying the clothes hung outside. It's making the wind chimes and hanging bottles ring.

An email notification pops up in the Wicked Witches' inbox and all the sounds stops. Everyone gathers round to read. it's a request from a client who is in need for paranormal investigating in Ireland.

Tune in again next time for an adventure~

[ Story ]

After stopping the gas, the witches continued their journey on a dark and winding road. They are close to Booville.

The skeleton bobble head on the dashboard bobbles. Someone turned up the radio.

A witch dozes off in the backseat, next to the black cat, Mr. Whiskers, and holding a fish bowl containing a sleeping axolotl called Kipper. The fishbowl has a little treasure chest that blows bubbles.

The sun has set, and the sky looks like it’s about to rain.

The witch who’s driving sings along to the radio. This winding road seems to go on forever. Nothing to see except trees.

Another has her feet up on the dashboard, flipping through a magazine, chewing gum.

The music from the radio picks up, waking up the axolotl. It stretches in the fishbowl. Kipper then noticed a sillouehete on the road ahead. What looks like a man with a head that seems as if it’s about to fall from his body.

Kipper screams, Mr. Whiskers wailed. The witches were talking to each other so they noticed last. They and the odd man in joined the screaming.

CRASH! The man fell, but his head flew off his body, rolling over the car roof and falling into the grass. They hear rats squeaking everywhere. Odd.

The witches all got out to check on the man - they were so concerned that no one pointed out that they’ve arrived in Booville. A town sign nearby states the number of population.

There was no one in front of the car. Spooked, they all hurried back into the car and drive away. Kipper is still screaming.

As the car dissappears into the distance, a figure watches over them, adjusting it’s head. A wolf howl at a distance.

[ Story ]

Outside the air is cool, all the daytime woodland animals are sleeping. But at night, the nocturnal ones come out to play.

There’s a clearing in the middle of the Wicked Woods, just behind the mushroom tree house. A magic library stands - floating bookshelves full of wondrous books to rent with the right library card. The witches created this space for the woodland creatures to visit and read. 

The library is open from 9am - 5pm, and The witches comes back from their day’s work, and tend to the library. The bookworm, who tends to it during the day, ends his shift.

The witches come home, and after winding down, they head to the Midnight Library. Around this time, it’ll be full of foxes, kiwis, crickets, cicadas, bears, and the rest of the novcturnal animals. 

A witch sits down underneath a nearby tree and continues her novel, her magic quill writes while she plots her next masterpiece. She often About 3 am in the morning.

Another witch reads a book along side some critters and bullfrogs, sitting cozy on the brim of her hat.

The night librarian, the owl, keeps hooting to remind everyone to be quiet in the library. To no avail- the night orchestra keeps going. She’ll deal with them later.

Right now she’s busy tending to the new woodland creatures who’s lining up to check out or return a book. Next to them, there is a big sign that says how much is it to rent to book / get a new library card. (“Please consult this chart to see which method of payment we accept (we will be accepting acorns starting next month”)

Mr. Whiskers and Kipper are reading a big fairytale book together. More correctly - Mr. Whiskers is reading to Kipper, since the latter is dyslecsic, and is really looking at the pictures. 

The whole place is lit up by fireflies. Some of the squirrels are sitting in the holes of their trees, or in the book nook houses between the shelves. 

One by one, everyone starts to doze off. In the peaceful night, an email notification popped up from our next client. But it can wait until tomorrow. Zzz

WANNA BE FRIENDS?” she broadcasted into the universe  she climbs up to the tallest tower in her house, where the hot water tank is, and starts assembling a radio there  sitting on the rooftop to find the best signal, she hopes someone will listen on this frequency. she consistently, persistently broadcast day by day, rain or shine, hoping there’s a world out there. hoping that someone/something will hear and send her a signal back  her neighbor is a punk guitarist. he has a band. sometimes you can hear his guitar riffs in her broadcasts  the broadcaster girl doesn’t know it, but someone has caught her broadcasts. they just haven’t came in contact because they couldn’t figure out how to. this person is one of the punk guitarist’s band member. naturally they recognize the guitar riff in her broadcasts  the whole band searched for the broadcaster. they figured she must be from the area. they biked around but just couldn’t find her.  just before they were about to give up, a gust of wind blew, bringing one of the girl’s pamphlet down from the rooftop.  they snatched it from the wind, looked up, and saw her.  the kids rang the doorbell to the girl’s house. her mum is surprised bc she didn’t think her kid has any friends. they all were welcomed in and they went up the hot water tank tower  the broadcaster girl was surprised. the boy shows his guitar, while the other kids brings their boombox, canvas, everyone has something that they're nerdy about. they want to show it to the broadcaster girl. the aliens introduced themselves

[ story ]

Once upon a time, there was a magical kingdom ruled by a king and a queen. The king was wise, and the queen was mighty, and they were both kind, loved by one and all. And they too loved their people, but there was one person they loved more than anyone, and it was their daughter. Unfortunately, the girl was not meant to live long. She was weak since the day she was born, and every living day was another hill that she could barely overcome. The king and the queen sought far and wide for a cure for her, but even with all their knowledge and magic, they could not save her. On her last day, as her breath slowly faded away, the queen prayed with all her heart; Heed me, whoever roams in the beyond. Whether you be gods or demons, I care not. Listen to me. My daughter lays before me, about to leave my side. I am powerless to save her. Yet she’s barely seen this world. There’s so much for her out there, so much for her to see and hear. Please, don’t let it end like this. Let her live the years, let her see the rest of the world. Take everything I have; it is all but meaningless without her. And so came four demons. They granted her wish, but not in the way she asked for. She cursed the demons for their twisted answers, but alas, what had they done, but answer her desires. The queen, with her magic, tried to banish them, but they had already arrived. The king, with his wisdom, tried to hide his people, but they had already seen. The sky tore, the earth ruptured. The world shattered, torn asunder. Everything was gone. But the demons still wanted to see more. So they stitched them back together, piece by piece.
