Becomes Reality
By piperlawrence
18 March 2006
Keep in mind whilst reading that this is a quick type and my first entered story on this website. It highlights the more technology is taking over, but our indifference to the world, the way we dont take in it's colours or vibrancy, shall be further highlighted later


Becomes Reality by Piper Lawrence

The speeding train blasted by, like a shot from a rifle, a blur of movement morphed with steel machine against the cold grey, unchanging brickwork of the station.

Bystanders to the great steel machines, almost pets, dependant on it. They wait behind the painted yellow lines of warning, careful not to be sucked under the metal monster's wheels. 

 But to this glass and metal wonderworld, Alexis is indifferent. She doesn't notice, along with the rest of them, the dullness, or the peculiar absence of bustling vibrance, she turns an ignorant eye, an accustomed eye, away from it all.

 The bullet of a train speeds nautiously past again, snapping her eyes open. Alexis finally puts her mp3 away. Her train wasnt sceduled to come for another half an hour, leaving her plenty of time. She walked away placidly from the silver bench she'd been sitting on, to buy her usual drink, a usual coke.

 This story will be continued..

Nice. It made me wish you continued the story, even for a few more paragraphs. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment. :)
