Darkness Parted Vertically

A grid of light is casting itself behind the world in the corner of the room. Ash trays and burnt out candles scurry over top of the desk and other surfaces. Dreaming in drull is much like trying to remember a dream within a dream.

The Sea

Floating across a mechanical fortress never fit for war. I find myself sitting silently along on a wooden bench. The cool night air blowing in all directions. Across the waves, around the boat, over pillars standing out of the water along the shoreline. Moving confidently, the cold hand has come for me. Lights of the city reflect off the sky like the fires of hell. A blaze stretching a full mile wide and as high as the clouds looming overhead. Their solemn white mass resting motionless, despite the hurricane of chaos emerging below. Looking over the railing i find that a futuristic city inhabits the water, but not one of people. A complex society of single celled organisms, trying desperately to understand the world around them, all concluding it's impossible. Boats in the distance leave open glints of hope as they wander the dark caverns of the sea, trying to help understand. Looking closer I see the beauty around me, as a meeting the aisle swallows me whole.
