Summer 2046- a Melange
“And if the Summer only knew, that she was losing a friend and a lover too, maybe she’d turn her head and wave.”
A writer writes about a future world in 2046. But what the writer doesn’t know is that the words are really describing the past. Living in the present for the future but really just re-living the past over and over and over…
The train is going towards 2046. Memories coming alive again as if they were something new but familiarly comforting. There is safety in a past that can’t change. Everyone going to 2046 is going there for the same reason whether they are conscious of it or not. But like the Summer, if they only knew what they were losing by going there, maybe they would turn around and wave. Wave to a future that could have been but never will be because of 2046.
