"It's not too bad, in time, you might even like it here"
The words stirred [the dreamreader]. He was laying on the dirt floor.
They were keeping him there, in the pit.....starving him until he was weak enough for the operation. He could see the blank faces silhouetted against the opening of the well. Once the operation was complete, he would never be able to leave. He would never be able to join the world above.
His wife had left [the introvert] for a younger man. He didn't mind too much. What bothered him is that the cat had run away. He was looking in the alleyway behind his house for the cat. In the neighbors yard, he could hear, but not see a very peculiar sounding bird. It sounded like someone winding a spring on a very large clock. It sounded like the mechanism that kept this world running.
In the late night, the playground was cold and empty. [the assassin] knew she was close. She climbed to the top of the slide to get a better view of the Sky. Was the world always like this?

"A Dark omnipresent pool of water.
It was probably always there, hidden away somewhere. But when the time comes, it silently rushes out, chilling every cell in your body. You drown in that cruel flood, gasping for breath. You cling to a vent near the ceiling, struggling, but the air you manage to breathe is dry and burns your throat. Water and thirst, cold and heat - these supposedly separate elements combine to assault you.
The world is a huge space, but that space that will take you in - and it doesn't have to be very big - is nowhere to be found. You seek a voice, but what do you get? Silence. You look for silence, but guess what? All you hear over and over is the voice of this omen. And sometimes this prophetic voice pushes a secret switch hidden deep inside your brain.
Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That's it. That's my heart.
huh
That is one way to answer a clarification.
I guess.... CD?
Did you not close your quotes just to bother me?

Was this a reaction to my glib statement stemming from my intentional disregard of time systems foreign to my continent?
Because if so I apologise for any offense caused, but will still note that relative time is far more useful to me.
