Impact ...

Wednesday, November 01, 2006



You are alone in the coupe, you have switched off the lights and opened the windows, you are lying with your legs stretched and a bent torso, looking out into the black night flying past outside, overlooked by a foggy half moon. The constant, rhythmic, fast paced, very fast paced, clamor of the night train is rattling in your ears, and in your head and in your heart.

Everything outside looks so dark, an occasional dim light of a street lamp, and huge vastness of barren land.

You can not hear the roar of the approaching train, until its near, very near, just a few meters away from your window. And the roar rises in an instant, to a deafening blow. A blazing column of light hits you. The blazing column of light is streaking past the window, leaving a partially paralyzed you. Only things you can make out in that are streaks of light and deafening noises.

And its over in an instant and the black night is back in sleep.
