The Dream Journey

"Mind the gap please between the train and the platform..." It was precisely 4 in the afternoon when arrived at the station to catch the train to London Victoria.

Afterwards I checked how many more stations there were left. Nine stops to go after this coming station and I’m finally home. I felt relieved. The train decreased passengers.

I then heard this consistent beeping noise; I opened my eyes as quickly as a bullet and got up from my seat. It’s the final station, I’m home I thought to myself. The doors slide smoothly across the side of the long train. As the sunshine slowly disappears an elongated path stood in front of me. I was certain that I got on the right train; it was going the correct direction. The long cabalistic path continues all the way into the distance but discrete into two about halfway down. One of the alleys was created of clear crystalline; ...
