I close my eyes.
The images start to flash.
Bright, dull lights hanging high atop the brown pyramidal shell that is the roof. The cold, harsh architecture, the concrete, the grey plastic, the pale marble flooring, the electric mini-train.
Images of my parents, my hands on the thick steering wheel, the odometer, the xenon-lit highway, the hint of palm trees, the valley at night, my cats.
And as if the relentless attacks on my consciousness was not enough, the dreams I dream each night too, are beyond escape.
One wonders if I’d go insane before I manage to even step onto that scheduled -400 jet.
