Highway To The Sky

From the world of eternal sunlight, through the ominous cities of empty souls and steel. Through painted faces and mechanical hypnotisms, strode a girl abandoning her past. She walked along a forgotten street. She walked the void between truth and lies. Through a derelict land without a time. She walked the highway to the sky. 1

As she moved across the terrain her watch began to spin. It spun so swiftly, as if the rotations of the earth had suddenly increased. The seasons came and went within the minute. The winter shades of gray, to the spring colors of love, to the clear blue skies of summer, ending with the fiery tints of autumn. Lost in the blinding colors as time swirled around her. Then it rapidly came to an end as all signs of seasons disappeared into a world of sand.2

She walked through a seemingly never-ending desert. Loosing all sensation and emotion, she knew no hunger or thirst. And within the hot sand her footsteps vanished, as if she was never there. Her past was whisked away with a simple breeze. She could not make out the difference between the route she walked upon and the route she had yet to tread. Still she walked on. 3

Suddenly her eyes fell upon a new sensation. The myth of night was found to be true. Obscurity slid upon her and for once she saw the true sky. Planets and meteors, stars and the moon. Oh such a splendor had not been seen in so many years. How awakening this could be to the world she left behind. No wonder so few knew anything at all. The light of the supposed sun blinded the truth. 4

Her pathway abruptly came to an end at the edge of the world where all was uncovered. But with the edge of earth, reality began. She took that step that few dared to take. A beam of moonlight held her steady and she strode into the misplaced heavens. And she spoke her first and final words as she strolled amid the starlight. "The light of day may reveal the earth, but it is more of a mask than the veil of the night, for within such darkness the true world is revealed."
