Between_Reality_Fabtasy

Between Reality Fabtasy Alone I walk in the valley between reality and fantasy. The sky is the brightest of blues, cloudless, yet it has no colour. The wind rustles the leaves of the maple and elm trees and the blades of grass dance to the sounds of birds singing and wind blowing. Yet beneath my feet are motionless grains of sand and the only sound is that of the steady beating of my own heart. The hills roll and tumble over each other, but the ground is flat. There is no horizon, the endless sand continues in all directions as if it were growing to try and touch every cloud in the clear sky and every star in the empty night. I feel so hopeless, so alone, but the breath of friends and family are all around me. I reach out and touch shoulders and faces that I know aren't there. I smile at the dull sand that surrounds me. I am alone. In the distance I see a figure walking towards me, but it gets no closer. I try to approach it, but the distance is unchanging.
