I am sitting in an upper middle row of a science lecture hall. The lecture hall seats are designed as if each row of seats were placed on a stare of a stare case, so that everyone has a view of the PowerPoint demonstration at the front of the hall. I have no books or lecture notes in front of me. There are about 70 to 100 other students scatered around the seats. No two students are sitting next to each other.
I can't tell what is being said by the teacher down at the bottom. I don't even know what the subject of the class is. I hate this room. I feel so unconfertable.
The temperature is about normal, maybe a little on the worm side. The walls are padded with a gray sort of textured cloth to prevent any students from echoing. The seats themselves are brownish-red colored.
I am standing on a hill in the field just before the forest. I can not actually see into the forest from where I stand. It's all just a mass of trees.
The trees are about 2 1/2 to 3 stories high. They are pine trees, although, I can't see any pine cones around. The trees are the highest right where the trail enters the forest, but they seem to taper off in hight within 50 feet of the enterence.
(I'm not looking into the forest, I'm looking at the tops of the trees. after about 50 from the enterence, the trees become thinner- thus the forest must be brighter after that).
The forest looks dark twords the front but visibly brightens up within 150 feet of where the trail meets the forest.
I can not smell that characteristic pine-tree-smell. I hear birds chirping but I can not see them.
I'm a little disapointed that the trees were not fruit trees- just unmanigable pine trees that offer little protection from wind or rain.
The trail itself crosses threw a field before entering the forest. The field is a chearful looking place with druping yellow grass about 1 foot high.
The path, wich is perfectly visible in the field, bcomes instantly obscured by the forest. It's almost as if the road ends suddenly right where the forest begins.
I'm too far away to tell if the path continues into the forest.
It turns out that the path does go through the forest, although the path is considerably thinner here.
I walk along the skinny path untill I find a carved out ditch in the ground. A small amount of water is trickeling threw the ditch, perhaps only 2 or 3 inches deep? The (streem?) is only about 5 or 6 inches wide. I can see large gray pebels under the water.
A worn plastic cup is partally obscured by the grass along the trail. It is cloudy white with scratches all over it. It probobly belonged to a little kid who abused it a lot.
I pick it up. Despite all it's scars, it still looks intact. There are no chips or cracks that would compramise the cup.
Oddly enough, the key is made of wood.
(this is probobly a result of me playing Legend of Zelda type games- where a stone key unloks the Earth Level, a dimond key unlocks the water level and the +++Wood Key+++ unlocks the Forest level)
The key wighs about half a pound and is made of solid, pollished wood. I have no idea what it unlocks, but it seems to belong to the forest itself. I mean, what other human would use a key made of wood?
While the key itself may not open any locks, I get the distant idea that just keeping the key in my posesion will alow me to go someplace special within this forest.
