Forever

I have the same dream every night. For as long as I remember. In it I am travelling across a long corridor it goes on and on forever. It's walls bend and swirl, the movements feel a lot like being on a boat.



Despite there only being one way to go I feel as lost as ever. Every turn is different from the last. Yet, there is nothing to do but keep walking. So nothing's changed at all. That still makes sense. If you think about it.



After a while the sameness became comfortable. I stopped worrying and spent my dreams feeling the walls spin. Every night the same thing. But. Something new happened.



I heard a voice. It was loud, calm and playful. Yet it sounded distant. For the first time in forever I stopped walking. I don't know what to do.
