Floating in space.
Actually, it's not really floating. It's more like drifting. Slowly drifting in which ever direction gravity is pulling you. The strongest gravitational field, that is.
And you can tell by the way I'm writing this, that it's meant to be written as a dialogue. Just close your eyes and listen to my voice. Okay, wait, don't close your eyes cause you wouldn't be able to read what I'm writing if you do so. Just, breathe in and breathe out gently and steadily and let peace fill your heart.
Welcome to my tail. (This is meant to be read literally and not grammatically so who cares if it's tail or tale) And look! That's earth. *points* Small ball of green and blue. Now we zoom in, and... plummet straight down!
That didn't really hurt that much did it? And lookey lookey, what do we have here?!
A guy. In the middle of a cross-road. Perhaps he fell just like what we did too. I mean, no sane person would just lie crumpled up in a heap in the middle of the desert in the middle of a cross-road right.
But a desert is just so so so depressing. Let's give him more uhm motivation. *snaps* There ya go. A red brick road leading west, with a scarecrow and a lion. wait. wrong setting sorry. *snaps* (a gentle breeze blows through and an oasis appears right beside the dude who's still in a stupor). A free oasis, complete with a nice watering hole that provides free-flow healthy hot spring, as well as a fully functioning coconut tree. Buy yours now and get ten coconuts free! :D
Ah, finally. I ran out of enough commercials already. Our male lead finally awakes! (no response from the guy). *thunders* our male lead finally AWAKES! (still no response) Sigh. The hard way then. Apples would be so much gentler but the last time I did that to a guy named newton. Oh wells. *coconut drops on the guy and he awakes*
Wha? Where am I? Ooooh. *A huge neon sign near the crossroads reads 'Future'* My head hurts. Hmm. How did I end up here? One minute I was in my bed thinking about my future and now I'm in the middle of a desert?! But deserts don't have neon signs. Or wow. Hot springs! Got mud bath somemore.
*a rumble of thunder sounds off in the distance behind* Darn. Guess I have to choose which path to choose soon. *thunder rumbles louder* and very soon. sigh.
*looks to the right* Hmm. A pen on the floor, amidst sheets of paper. Cemented path. But it doesn't really seem to head off anywhere. It just goes straight and then disappears into a thick forest of uncertainty. Though the forest seems to be full of vibrant colors, where one knows not what lurks behind every trunk, beside every branch, beneath every root.
*looks straight* well, this is interesting. Two mountains and a valley. A valley flowing of coffee. The mountain peaks seem to have something on it. Outposts maybe? But one seems to be on fire, and the other seems frozen. *starts dancing around the coconut tree to kate perry's hot n cold* And beyond the mountains, skyscrapers in the distance. Fireworks, civilization and more.
*looks left* a child sits in the middle of the path. Disheveled, holding a teddy that has seen better days. She sits amidst dust and sand, in a torn and tattered dress, and looks at me with such sadness in her eyes, it pains to look away. She vanishes and reappears on a swing a distance away. Holding on to her teddy, and her minute hand grasps the handle of the swing oh so precariously, she peers upwards and smiles sadly towards the rainbow in the sky.
And with that haunting image of the sad smile, we slowly zoom out till we're floating, no, drifting in space. Till the next time. :)
