        <p>there are four walls and each wall is painted a different color. as i try to figure out why it is this way i realize that they are all walls from a different room in my past, all from places that i liked to be. one is painted cream and there are pictures of all kinds of famous people (actors, singers, sports heroes, etc.). there are also pictures of my friends and relatives. this is a wall from my room as it was in junior high. when i had "hella drama" in my life. the next is pink, there is a window in the center of the wall and outside i can see my g-ma's back yard. it is beautiful, with a very well groomed lawn and a garden with exotic flowers. the window has curtains pulled to the side with a cream background and pink flowers all over. this is my room at my g-parents house that was decorated for me when i was 10. the next wall is very short, the ceiling is slanted and so the shorted part of the ceiling meets the wall. it is white with light blue trim around the closet door, there is a picture of me with my date to senior ball without a frame but that's all. this my room at my parents house as it is now. the last wall, represents my room now. it is white and there is a window sized mirror in the center of it and it has pictures that belong to me and pictures that belong to my roommate. there is no carpet or furniture in this room.</p>

        <p>there are coniferous pines, lots of them. so many that as you follow the trail with your eyes you notice that you can't see it anymore because of the shadows cast by the trees. there are no birds in the trees, they are all above the trees because it is so thick that they would not be able to fly around in the forest. however, the trail leading into the forest is not corrupted by the branches from the forest. you can walk and not be grabbed at by them.</p>

        <p>it is barely visible because of the shade but i can tell that it has been traveled on before. many times. it is narrow enough for two people to walk side-by-side down it without brushing into the trees that make up the dense forest wall.</p>

        <p>it is an ocean, with a sandy shore and sea-shells. it looks as though it is natural, although it is too perfect to be any that I've ever seen. the water is very clear, i can make out all the details of the creatures that inhabit it. there isn't any broken glass or litter on the beach or in the water.</p>

        <p>it is silver with shiny blue gems decorating the handle. there is a single hole in the center where someone could string a chain through it and wear it around their neck. it looks so elegant that i almost want to believe that it would open the door to a castle chamber. but it seems silly the moment i think it.</p>
