LET THE TRILOGY BEGIN ………………………………………………… BEGIN The glass trees glistened ominously in the pale moonlight. My breath rose up in puffs of barely visible fog. My heart was racing and my body was full of adrenaline. The escape I’d been searching for was right here, I could see it, I could feel it, I had found it - the end. I was popping – as we called it – from tree branch to tree branch, my feet barely touching their uppermost tips. The entire sensation was surreal. Looking up I couldn’t help but stare with wonder. Even from so far away, the place that would set us all free was awe-inspiring. It was literally like a living rainbow, with the structure’s walls projecting a thousand colours into the night sky. The closer I got, the more I felt like I could never pull away. Days, weeks, months, maybe even years of living trapped in a world that wasn’t real… or was it? Regardless, all we wanted was an escape and here it was. I focused my eyes on the prize.
