And everything had changed.

I was tired.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

Through the leaves of trees above I could see the sky above that, flooded with the pounding light of our star.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

Through the vines, in the dark I could see the half squirell half man forraging for scraps in the dumpsters.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

I jumped over the pipe, slightly missing the man eating plant, jumped on a turtle and kicked it's shell of the cliff.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

I swept my hands over the coarse linen of the bed. Who knew being on a remote island could be so cool?

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

With nothing but a sword and buckler I skillfully danced my way through the army or armoured rhinoes.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them everything had changed.

Lying front down with my head peeking over the edge, I spotted the jagged cliffs, waves raging against them, and I closed my eyes.

Everything, always changed.

So I let go.
