Assignment 21: Lena Ilagan

Right now, somewhere in this universe, there is another Lena.  Though not in the dimension we call home, she is still within the confines of the great expanse of space which we call the Universe.  This Lena could be doing anything, anywhere.  What does this Lena think like? What does she look like? Does she even look like me?

What if all of my dreams at night are actually just me experiencing that other Lena's reality?  If that is the case, that other Lena is living one hell of a life.  That Lena can fly and breathe underwater.  That Lena can wake up one day and just have perfectly sculpted abs and glutes.  That Lena is capable of so many things this Lena isn't.  Yet, the Lena in the dreams I dream at night doesn't have it all.  Though she is capable of superhuman abilities and is confident in her body, she also has to deal with all kinds of strange and absurd bs.  That Lena once accidentally became a queen of a small country and then destroyed it.  That Lena's parents got divorced all of a sudden.  That Lena got abducted one day and was forced to work in a circus.  That Lena by no means has a perfect life, but what if, when she dreams, she lives in my reality?  There are so many questions the world has yet to answer, and until then, we inferior humans must lie here awaiting a response to our worries, with nothing but death to save us.
