"Have you ever heard about the World Tree?"

An old voice called to me when I was trying to sleep.

I should have work tomorrow, I had no time for this shit.

"It's the tree that lays the foundation of the World. Things such as gravity and non-gravity."

Who cares? Just let me sleep already, damn it!

Despite my complaints, before me was the apple tree I used to play around with as a kid.

A vast expanse of green unfolds before me.

Many sheep started to flock around. The ones in front were as tall as two adults and as wide as a jeep. With a shove, it skillfully brought me onto its back.

I was clutching its fluffy fur and it took me somewhere far away.

Across the desert, where I saw the Sphinx reciting riddles.

"Who are you!"

Indeed it was the trickiest riddle of all.

Who am I?

Where am I?

"I am your grandfather."

Sitting atop the giant sheep, it was even bigger than the Sphinx.

I feel like taking a bottle of whiskey from my nostrils, but what came was a vodka.

We had a round of vodka in the desert while eating ice-cream on the camel's back.

The sunset was divine, and it had the face of a smiling baby. I could see it clearly, it was eating mushrooms while munching pineapple on pizza.

I could hear an Italian crying, "Mama Mia..." on the distant horizon.

The Sphinx was busy munching on his pizza on pineapples, while I dumped my pepperoni sauce onto my chocolate margarita cheese, with a bit of parmesan.

The night was still young, I began talking about the World Tree.

"Once upon a time, there was a tree that signals the world's beginning. I think the author was too lazy. Why must it be a tree?"

"Why shouldn't it be a tree?"

"It could be another tree, like conifers. When I think of trees, I could only remember palm or coconut ones."

"Ah, big money."

The Sphinx handed me a map, before muttering another riddle, "What wakes up in the morning at 4 AM to boil instant noodles in their mouth?"

"You."

"That's not right. Why do you know so much about me?"

"I know nothing. I just know I exist and thus it's my intention to drink vodka 'til morning."

On the camel's back, was a blender.

I took the nearest mushroom after washing it with vodka and chuck it all into the mixer.

After that, I drank the entire blender and threw the mashed mushroom into the trash. It was divine.

The entire time, I was watching the Sphinx bathing in vodka.

It was naked.

...and I turned it into a grilled steak, with pineapple on pizza.
