Transcending the Legacy
“Damn it! I can’t sleep.
I can only blame myself. I set myself up for it.
I roll onto my back, shift under the heavy blanket and I stare at the chiseled rock above me as the candle light spotlights the hard work the colonists put into these burrows. The sounds of the mountain rock stretching and constricting keep me from folding to the exhaustion that every muscle in my body is screaming for. I close my eyes just for a second. When I reopen them, my surroundings are not the same.
*... * * I am staring up at a tree swaying and dancing, the sun peeking through the lush, green leaves. I want to jump up, see where I am, but I am not in control and this body wants to remain here in this vision, this moment for a reason. The sound of crushing leaves behind me doesn’t illicit me sitting up, but rather the draw of a smile on my face.
The sound of treaded leaves gets closer to my resting head. I start to panic inside, but the body I’m prisoner in continues to lay still, grinning at the sound of an approaching being.MoreLess
