<html><h1>City</h1></html>

You never expected this.

So much and all at once.

The momentum and inertia of man and machine.

Streaking lights and throbbing tones.

Your senses thrill to the point of ecstasy.

Too much too soon, you wonder.

Slipping quickly.

Slipping assuredly.

Under the pressure of thick [[darkness|Desert]].

<html><h1>Ocean</h1></html>

You are born.

Your senses softly awaken and you are aware of warm currents and slow movement.

Myxozoans and plankton pass by.

Crustaceans beetle on their busy way.

Water permeates your body and our heart beats steadily.

You are ready to move.

To move on and up where surely there is [[more|Lagoon]].

<html><h1>Lagoon</h1></html>

Moving across mudflats, the air is cool and fresh.

Lights still swim in this over-water world, and you are glad.

You can see further now, at a distance you are aware of more.

The excitement of potential swells in your chest.

Your burgeoning strength compels you [[forward|City]].

<html><h1>Desert</h1></html>

The air is hot and choked with dust.

Why did you come here? Why?

A groan and you drag cracked skin and a prickling mind towards what can only be the end.

One possible direction and you are certain there is nothing left but to move forward.

You pass the remains of those who couldn't face the journey.

You [[pass|Chapel]].

<html><h1>Chapel</h1></html>

Did you sleep?

It feels as though you are awakening once again.

From emptiness, you sense abundance.

From discomfort you discover caressing opulence.

It fades though.

And so do you.

Fainter and quieter.

But you are happy to let [[go]].
