Zooming out

As I zoom out, a green pool floods my brain. Infinitely spreading vein-like structures pulsate with energy. They seem to be alive, but not in a way that I have ever seen before. As I’m still zooming, a jagged corner comes into view. As I zoom out further still, the green pool slowly takes shape. A teardrop-like structure it seems to be. Further still, there are more; infinitely spreading on a rough brown surface. Still there are more; spreading out on a carpet of red and orange. Everything seems blurry, with all of it turning into a green fuzz. I am short for breath, as wisps of white swallow my body. A digging feeling in my shoulders disturbs me, but this just, just so peaceful. A feeling of tiredness overcomes me, and as I close my eyes, I nod off, to a deep, deep sleep.
