automatic writing realisation
the text for context:
I awaken, in a room I don’t recognise.
It is just me. Its walls are grey, I think.
The room is soaked in magenta, illuminating from singular beam on the ceiling. A thinly stretched mist seeps throughout the room, not clouding my vision, but making this even more disorientating.
In the corner of the room, there lies a fish tank. Solitary, with only a single, orange fish swimming round and round in its own void. The tank is clear, standing out like a sore thumb in the corner of the purple hue.
To my right of where I’m sitting, there is a door imprinted in the wall, almost part of the room itself, not as a means of going somewhere.
I reach for the door and swing it open, stepping into the next room without really thinking.
I am met by an identical room, complete with a fish tank, a door, and mist. Only this time, the room is swallowed in a dark blue.
I pace across the room, knowing what to expect when I eventually step through the door.
I am mistaken. This room is completely bare, bathed in a dark crimson by a singular beam with no tank or mist. Instead, there lies a table and two chairs, placed perfectly in the middle of the room.
I sit, and I wait, completely unaware of where or who I am.
after a while, no one visits.
So, I step outside.
The sky Is somehow neon, like I have never seen. Purple and blue, like the rooms.
Instead of rain, it is chunks of silver, like nothing I have ever seen.
It is night, for there is no sun.
