Dreams and Orbits Collide

The darkness of eyes wide close start the countdown.

The spaceship of unknown dimensions runs on energy harnessed from electrical impulses given by a collection of restless neurons.

A biological machine sends the rocket into orbit to a parallel universe whose natural laws are a mystery even to esoteric scientific minds.

The Galactocentric orbits revolve around the moving ship disrupting the course of nearby voyagers.
Since time is not continuous in this parallel universe the trajectory of the ship gets distorted making the passenger hallucinate and experience situations from the universe from which he took off.

Dreams as they are called play during the periods when the passenger hallucinates.

Each early morning he dies in the parallel universe only to reappear in the universe he doesn’t belong.
