Waiting for a Train (Projection)

Description

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

-Cicero

Foreword

Resonant footsteps harmoniously made their way closer, and closer, until they stopped. He didn't need to turn to know  those airy steps.

"So, you finally decided to tie the knot."

It wasn't a question. It was never a question, coming from her. "Are you angry?"

"Why would I be angry."

"That I finally decided to let you go."

"I think you're mistaken... The fact that I still appear here means that you haven't released me; not at all."


Author's Note:

The title was inspired by Inception, both the film and soundtrack.

Chapter 14: I was really confused when I started reading this story. I was surprised by the shortness of the chapters, and as there was no exact mention of who were the characters in each one, I wasn't sure of what I was reading (and understanding). X )
At first, I wondered if the chapters made sense altogether or if it was just random chapters describing different things. But then the plot appeared more precisely and I got captivated. So, I was really focused on it afterwards.
I don't know if I all understood well, I think I'd have to read it again, but I liked it very much in the end. I liked how only short events were narrated in each chapters, but still the overall story was understandable.
Actually, I think that even though the story seems to follow one plot, there is not an unique way to understand it. I think we can interpret it according to what we have personally understood. (Does that make sense?)
Anyway, this story is really original.
