Description
~Monochroma~

Sea of people. Black and grey. Moving in one endless smooth motion. Noone stands out very readily for anyone to see. Except for them again.
Gees, don't play it out like I'm some object in your world.
What more do you want? Your own leading role of sorts?
I'm your other 'you'. Acknowledge me, damn you.
No, you're nothing more than my outspoken thoughts that haven't come out into the open yet.
Yet you still keep it here. Let me out, you weak bastard.
Walking beside buildings, large and gigantic. Nothing fancy to watch anymore. Fifty percent all sales. Free whatevers for the next seven customers. Conditions apply. Two for one bargains. A pity no such things take fancy anymore.
The stop. Incorporation. Noone knows what they do inside. Noone questions it. Another company filled with nothings for people to buy.
Maybe for your tastes - you work there you know.
One step through the shiny automated glass doors and all thoughts between the start and finish are wiped out. No recollection of what has been done or what it will be used for. It's now theirs to do with their bidding.

Seven past seven. The night sky filled with the strange glowing clouds of petroleum. Colours that have never seen daylight. Either that or the mind has been playing tricks lately.
Enter back into the sea of lost souls again. The street lights pave the way back towards the train station. Kinda like fireflies in a tranquil lake - although nothing reminds of that in any memory past.
Amongst the people, traffic and lights, a violin serenade was playing in the distance. That very same song.
A rush to find that person and their face. A barrage of people blocking the way. All efforts to go against the flow were in vain. Eventually, the trip towards the station resumed. The curiousity lingers more than ever.
Departure on platform thirteen, as usual with normal routine. Inane announcement babble in the platform background. Nothing useful in those comments anyway.
So where be that violinist, little rabbit?
I don't know. I can only hear them, not see them yet. Why don't you show me?
Why should I? There's nothing in it for me.
Oh quiet down. You're nothing but dead weight.
Train arrival. The doors open once again for travel. The end of another day of so-called life. A place with a window view again - not that it mattered much anyway. Drifting off during the journey back seemed to be also routine as well.
However, the end had not come this night. The one with that blue violin. They appeared. A woman. Long hair placed in a single braid and chocolate brown. In a sky-blue dress and a velvet jacket.
Snap out of it.
I'm perfectly fine, though.
Lies. Your mouth is wide open. Gobsmacked, aren't we?
*sigh* She's simply that stunning.
Well keep that thought. You're about to lose it.
Lose what?
All feeling of staying awake.
She started to drift away as the train moved. Eyes were tired from exhaustion. All effort was to watch her but the eyes eventually betrayed its master.
Everything faded to darkness once more.
