I will make it for sure! I set off to that invisible tunnel! I leave behind a desert place.
I tried to forget, I tried an entire lifetime, but this thought is relentless and leaves me no peace.
I feel the air filling my tired lungs. One last burning puff of smoke; one last cigarette.
With the engines revved up to the max, I try the impossible. There is no turning back!
The marble desert opens in two. The marble-run begins.
The bright light pierces my retina and invades the brain up to the last neuron. It is starting now!
I see how moments and memories fly by me. I feel like I will give in.
Blurred images that are opening and contract at intervals; cut-outs in time and space oscillate like a pendulum.
I’m holding on to the wheel my muscles frayed to the max. A stream of sweat is running down my forehead.
The image is blurry; I can’t blink away. I will make it for sure!
The green grids are opening up. The purple haze is burning my cheek, and I am trying to keep my cool. The loneliness of this moment is weighing down my shoulders like a bear trap breaking a bone when it’s set off.
The adrenaline is rushing through the veins like the waves of a tsunami sweep clear the busy beaches.
I made it to the other side! I see the city unfolding before me.
Now I know that everything they said is real.
All is becoming clear once more.
They were right, after all...
