October Flash - Day 3

The Flash Fiction Project at Google+ has something new going on! There will be a visual prompt for every day in October, and I'm going to try to write a (very) short piece for it every day as well. Due to time zone differences, I'll try writing and posting mine early in the morning, so it's a day after the original post for me, but still the same for them.

Let the fun begin! Here is the prompt for today:

A Game of Aspects

Let's start this off with a warning, shall we? The following flash fiction piece contains sexual content. Please don't read it if you won't like it.

This said, here comes the explanation, and an apology. Skip this if you only want to read the story.
When I started this blog, I had planned to write 24 flash fiction works inspired by sentences from one of my favourite books. I came as far as 16 before work and life in general got the better of me. If you were enjoying the project, I am very sorry to have disappointed you so. I haven't given up on it yet.

This post does not belong to the original project, though. It's for a flash fiction challenge of Chuck Wendig. He gave us lists of subgenres, elements to include and themes from which to choose any combination and write a 1000-word story. I chose the following:
Subgenre: Erotica
Element to Include: Serial Killer
Theme/Motif/Conflict: On the Run

Fine, here we go; 988 words and not enough room for sex.

This is my world.
It is not unlike yours with regards to where land ends and where the sea begins. Mountain ranges might resemble those you know seen from afar. There are differences, though. The sizes and shapes of things might be slightly off, and colours may vary as well. There is, for example, Italy with a smaller shoe size and higher heel, or so I'm told. Also, North and South America are only almost, but not quite, connected.
You have to understand that this is not your world; this is the dream world - a place where day dreams and wishes come alive. It is constantly being created by dreamers from all over your world. They shape their lands not unlike their home, but different still. Humans never see the world as it is, you see, so no matter how close they want to stay to reality, it is still their personal reality that is being used.
