But the sun will still be shining<br />
But the sun will still be shining.<br />
Darkness floods the vision, a brief moment of pain, and the<br />
comforting numb of non-existence.<br />
Screams echo out across the tracks, a choir of warnings<br />
harmonizing with the terrible screech of brakes activated far<br />
too late.<br />
A jostled footfall falls on empty air, the gravel ground rushing<br />
eagerly to meet it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> river of travellers flows down the platform, the<br />
overcapacity overflow nears the edge.<br />
<strong>The</strong> escalator creeps down with downcast disinterest on every<br />
step, uncaffeinated commuters led into the depths of the<br />
station.<br />
Her eyes scan the ground, watching the plodding of legs on the<br />
routine route, head bowed to the monotony.<br />
<strong>The</strong> conscious snaps awake, ready for the day, bad things will<br />
come to pass but the sun will still be shining.<br />
