The Omnipresence of Divine Death
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Lying on her back, Eislyn could only see half of the misty glass. Eislyn relies on her brother to leave the shutters to the window open every morning. The view is just enough to remind her of the color of the sky, although she has long forgotten what the clouds look like. The other half of the window is hidden by Kimon’s shutters which he closes delicately every morning before he leaves for work in the tunnels. He never shuts it completely though. In the deep recesses of his mind, he imagines a world where his sister could free herself from the medicine that courses through her veins just as fervently as the synthetic blood that pumps through her heart–the last natural organ in her body. The medicine to her was like sun to the plants. Today, there are no traces left of such greenery. There are no other forms of life on the surface. Eislyn and her brother read stories of a different world, one that could only be experienced in their dreams.
