The doors hiss apart and when you step between them, you are almost sure you have just gone through the transporter process again, but there was not the typical cool washing feeling. When you hear the doors shutting behind you, you turn to watch. As they meet there is a short shhh sound and you are looking at a gigantic oak. You reach out to touch it to be sure it is real and you more than half expect to feel the cool metallic doors, but there is the tree as real as it gets. You turn back around to survey your surroundings. You are in a medium sized clearing in the middle of what must be a rather large forest, for not a sound besides that of nighttime animals can be heard. The dark green grass is bathed in the cool afterglow of post dusk, and in the trees you can see the birds just bedding down for the night. The air is so rich and clean that you can't help but to breath in long deep draws, and you savour the smell of fresh vegetation and clean unpolluted air which cannot be found on Earth at this, your time.

The first stars of the evening begin to sparkle as if through a crystal sheet off to the west, and the setting sun gives an unrivled light show on the horizon.


lay down and look at the stars
