You Turn

SAME WHERE ELSE PART ONE
| WRECK CREATION |
Episode Twenty

Tangerine Dream ~ Jacek Yerka

Passing through the line of trees Atom is struck by silence. Apart from the crackle of Company bicycle wheels on fallen leaves and twigs; silence.
The silence of trees that live in a different time frame.
A silence that perceives the passing of other, apparently, more sentient beings in an almost invisible blur.
On the other side of the trees is a freshly raked field of yellow sand.
A field of un-Zen-like solicitude where each raked groove makes no attempt to delay its perfectly delineated rush toward the horizon’s convergence, there to meet the inevitable fate of all parallel lines.
Atom’s experiences a nauseating déjà vu; he pictures a signalman’s hut and tastes blood in his mouth.
Two black dots appear slightly below the horizon and along with their expanding form bring the sound of barking.
Atom feels the pangs of irrational panic.
He’s not afraid but his body wants to run away.
He doesn’t run, he pedals like fuck.
Back through the trees.
Passes the laughing Magpie.
Negotiates an uneasy grapple with the gate’s wire hoop and heads back the way he came.

"Peddles like fuck"

Atom amuses the hell out of me.
I were here.
Cheers!
