I woke up on board the train.
The engines hummed and sang its silent tune, its unending hymn... I looked around me and the whole train was empty. I stood up and walked down its hallways as I looked past the windows as the train passed through large chilly mountains of pink and dotted with large strawberries as large as boulders. I tried in vain to look for anyone but there was really no one there.
But then, from above a low rumble came as strawberries start hitting the train. I ran towards a wooden door, with high hopes that I'll find the driver of this train but instead I found a tunnel at the other side.
I looked behind me and the door was gone. I saw a light peek out and ran towards it. But instead the light ran towards me. I ran away in fear that the light at the end of the tunnel was a train. It was no use, the light was so bright and surged towards me. I closed my eyes, I knew that death was eminent.
I open it and I was now in my bedroom -- a million fireflies surrounding, my entire room. I blinked my eyes twice and rubbed them. It was all too impossible. So, I covered myself with the sheets of my bed but then the room suddenly turned bright.
I drew the covers and the dawn was just breaking. I found myself in a shuttle bus headed for the West Coast. The sea was visible beside the road as the sun peeked from the windows.
I dropped of in some umbrella beach when a huge tidal wave came and dragged me down to let me see the marvels underneath the water, a giant ferris wheel turned as fuzzy blue lights illuminated it. The waters echoed all around me as I stayed and watched all the commotion the fish had in store as I stayed in the saltwater room.
I saw a shipwreck in a sea of faces and saw the bottoms of the boats of the yacth club.
I swear, it felt weird when I discovered that I can breath and still wonder how I became the sea as I dove there with the dolphins. I dove up and said Hello to Seattle as I reached the surface, a man flew and zipped with the birds and the angels as he guarded the nearby metropolis. A nearby lighthouse sent beams of red through the athmosphere as the seagulls screeched and sang a lonely lullaby to themselves.
I climbed up to the shore where I spread my wings and flew to the sky but a meteor shower stopped me on my tracks and I still remember the view as I instantly became a sky diver and almost fell into the tip the iceberg wheren't if the aeroplanes swooped down on me and carried me to bed. I felt dizzy from the day's journey, andI'm still laughing as I watched a worm serenade a bird in flight, singing that if his heart was a house he'd be home.
A large Hot Air Balloon, held up by a giant ice cube, floated beside our plane. The whales flew beside us sending us in giant flips and turns.
So the plane swooped down and laid me in a whole field of hospital flowers, amidst the honey and the bees that buzzed all around me and a panda bear that lumbered and search for bamboo shots amidst the shy violets and all the plant life that strum gently on my heartstrings. The sky was a perfect, painted by Kamikazes a perfect blue with a starry brush.
I lay awake amidst the tall flowers and wished that I could be with the person that I loved so much for so long and how she never really cared... as if I was a Silhouette that no one should love. Should care about. I lay there and cried as the last of the campfire glowed with the embers that remained alive. I opened my eyes... only to see the alligator sky filled with a million stars, the milky way boldly lined among the galaxies and the shooting stars that almost hit the helicopter moon, a scrape sending showers of golden sparkles that litter the real world.
I walked up and left the field and abandoned it for the road. A light, just as it was, glowed bright and suddenly I was urged to follow it... my whole being urging me to take it all away and follow it through the dreams and disasters. It leads upward. Towards the top of the world ...the breeze was strong. But the view magnificent. Vienna was a simple light show beneath my feet. But then the Bombshell Blonds started falling towards me and, like James Bond, I ran at the Speed of Love as I chased the void in front of me.
It was all too surreal as the voices shout that I'm coming after you. No, not now, I'm still having a Good Time. I really just can't put to bed the nightmares that still haunt me as I scream with the howling winds. I closed my eyes before the world engulfs me with its terrors.
I wake up. And I'm in a train.
