You stumble on invisible rocks as you carefully avoid the clearly marked trail. Upside down trees teeter precariously on delicate tips. A bird flies beneath your sandaled feet. You slam into a wall. It slowly becomes visible. A solid cube of water, full of eels and goldfish. An angler fish flies by. Then you walk through an elephant. Instants later, a lion bites your head off. He drops it and you roll, bumping painfully on spiky cacti and sharp dust. You hit a granite boulder and stop rolling. You stare at the stars. They come closer until your eyes are burning. You close your eyes. You feel hands pick up your pulpy head. You open your eyes and see your headless body reattach you to itself. Your neck hurts. Your hands attempt to hold your head on. They slip sometimes, and you feel many jolts. A submarine slams into your stomach. Your body loses its balance and lets you roll away again. You watch dizzily as it falls into a pit. Long seconds later, a dull thud meets your ears. Then the elephant steps on you... the pain is unbearable. The cube of water slides over parched ground until it stops, mere inches from your head. It slides towards you, millimeter by millimeter. Two lampreys latch onto your raw scalp. Goldfish swarm into your mouth. Sea snakes nibble your nose and cheeks. A baby snake attempts to swim up your torn neck, but cannot get past your pharynx. It is stuck, and wriggles uselessly. You cannot gag. More lampreys join the first two. You feel like a Medusa. You stumble on invisible rocks. Nothing is real.
