Hellooooo!
Is everyone onboard?
It's your familiar friend Fog,
Remember me?
I make you forget everything!
We are leaving for our next trip!
To the land of Remorse.
Because by the time you’ll return, you will have lost a few hours, days, months, who knows how much time of your life once again!
And once you are back, as soon as you settle down, SURPRISE SURPRISE!
We will visit you again! Taking you for another trip once again!
So make use of the time that you get in your world, it will feel like waking up from a deep sleep like coma,
During that brief stint, you will see people again, colours reappear, red will seem redder, water will taste sweeter, you will experience the joy of being seen, of being connected, of holding hands.
You might want to listen to your favourite music too, for once we take you with us again you will forget most of ‘what’ makes you ‘you’.
So set your life in order before we visit again!
Clean your room, and yes do the laundry, you would need a pile of clothes ready for who knows how long we’ll take you!
No, don’t stock your fridge, we have enough impulse ridden junk dressed in fine paper & cutlery, waiting for a guilt trash can,
And you’ll do just fine!
What?
You’ve made promises ? Commitments to people ?
Well that’s bad, too bad.
How are you going to function up there in the clouds with no connectivity?
You know my dear now don’t you, there is no wifi up there, it interferes with the flight’s journey.
We make sure we put in the jammers, the moment we leave the ground.
So, just how on earth are you thinking we are going to stay connected with your world while still being up there?
Alright now,
It’s time for boarding, get inside.
Carry your Baggage & don't tighten your belts,
There is no danger to you my darling,
FOR THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE!
