Love your resume(2)
(3) A few days later, she happily asked me to go shopping with her. I was surprised that she knew my address. The moment I saw her, I was as stiff as snow and ice. I managed to turn the corners of my mouth up and smile. She blinked her eyes in puzzlement. I woke up and smiled as she began to ask me to spend the day with her. I leng leng, understand the chicken pecking rice like point nod.

Moments of Clarity
Eyes fluttered open slowly, to the sickening screech of metal on metal echoing in his ears, blurring the awareness between reality and the rapidly fading dream, not knowing which had roused him from his sleep. In the haze his memory felt fuzzy. He didn’t remember boarding the train. The gentle ongoing rumble threatened to lull him back into the drowsy space between worlds, but his eyes suddenly fixed on a face in the seat in front of him: a woman with dark hair and fine features, her hazel eyes darting around anxiously above cheeks flushed with worry. Life had worn her in comparison to the memory he held in his mind, but he would have known her anywhere.

Made for Breaking
“It doesn’t matter what happens later. It doesn’t matter how you got here. Just think about how good you feel! You can already feel the beautiful acceleration can’t you, the vertiginous thrill running up from your toes into your groin, like taking your foot off the gas pedal and gliding over a hump in the road at top speed? It’s a feeling you haven’t felt since the old, experimental school days. It’s the feeling of true freedom Mike, of traveling past the limits of your feeble biology, escaping the police-state of worry you’ve lived in since you learned how to think. You’re free now Mike! Don’t let anything spoil this moment!”

Trainstopping
A distant shuddering movement tore him from a dreamless sleep in an instant. His eyelids felt heavy and it took them a while to defeat gravity, open fully and perceive his surroundings. He sensed something he couldn't place, a new feeling, indescribable and unfamiliar. Only after a while he noticed what it was –he felt nothing. He tried to remember the last moments before he must have fallen asleep, any indication to where he was, but there was simply nothingness. No memory of the past hours, and when he thought back further, no memory of his life, his present, his future or his dreams. He only knew that he was. He felt as if he was supposed to be looking for something, or someone.

Regardless and Forever
Gracie tried to open her eyes. Her head was throbbing and she was shaking, and the more she moved, the sicker she felt. She forced her eyes open enough to realize it was dark other than small flashes of light flickering in the windows by her head and as she laid there, she tried to clear her mind and remember where she was. She couldn’t remember anything. Finally, she turned and sat up, her head spinning for what felt like minutes. Once she was able, she looked around and saw the light was coming from a large window to her right, and the shaking hadn’t been coming from her. It was the train. She was on a moving train and had no idea why.
