Dropping-

No more like flying

Through the void

Beams of assorted colors shoot pass.

Wow, that sounds like a label:

Beams of assorted colors!

Get your streaks here!

Such mundane thoughts like this drift through my mind

Not at all in pace with the speed I was plummeting at

My nightgown flaps against my thighs as a planet consumes my vision

I brace myself for impact (more like cringing)

But I shoot through

Jupiter

Oh.

Hunks of rock seem to stretch as I passed them, like putty

A rusty red stop sign of a planet blares beside me

Mars

I suppose Earth is next.

(More of a statement than a question)

Looms in front of me,

Blue green brown black and white

Little yellow dots cover the black, a universe of our own right here

Flaring bright and then blinking out.

Where did the people go?


I sit on the floor, leaning against the wall, a laptop on my (you guessed it) lap.

My hands rest on the keyboard, marveling at the picture drawn at the speed of light
