I'm in a cave. The walls of the cave are grey-mauve. The wall curve in towards the top. It is dark and you don't see the perimeter of the cave without looking closely. There is a bed in the middle of the cave. It looks very comfortable. It has a canopy top. It is high off the ground, with a nice fluffy comforter. The mattress is big and rounded. The bedframe has round pillars that also taper towards the top. The pillars are topped by Hershey kiss shaped tops. A billowing sheet drapes from the top of the canopy. Warm light filters in the room, though the source is not seen.
The trail leads to the forest. The trail is brown made of dirt. Dried leaves line the trail, faded brown. The crunch lightly beneath the feet. Two towering trees mark the entrance to the forest, but trees are seen stretching out in all directions on either side of the guarding evergreens. The forest is giant sequoias. The air is moist and cool as you enter their protected guard. A musty smell fills the senses. As you look forward, the trail seems endless, fading into the darkness of the thick trees. The tree trunks feel cool, and at the same time rough and smooth to the touch. The trunks reach up and up and up towards the sky. The treetops crowd the sky and the glimmering light of the fading twilight meets the eye.
The path is easily navigated. Many interesting objects line the path along the way. A colorful bird perched on a limb. A large boulder. A fallen tree. It is beautiful and wonderful in the forest yet the is a hidden sense of foreboding. One knows to remain alert. There is no visible sign of other travelers having ever been on the trail. It is clean and pristine, untouched, but it is clear and steady.
The water is very deep and fast moving. The trail ends abruptly at the waters edge and continues on the opposite shore, disappearing quickly into the forest on the other side.
There is a tall, ceramic vase on the shore. It is shaped like a pear, with a lily shaped mouth. A wide handle arches from the side of the vase. It is decorated in abstract designs.
The key is golden. It is heart-shaped with a long stem. It is the key to a door.
