Monoliths
It was a beautiful morning
I couldn't quite remember yesterday
But the golden sunlight
WhiskedΒ Β away all my problems
As I entered the kitchen
My wife was making breakfast
She laughed at something strange
I laughed with her too
Soon enough I was out the door
And on my way to work
I watched the brilliant sun
Reflect off of monolithic buildings
I quickly got to work
But as soon as I was comfortable
I noticed a strange man
That I had never seen before
However, I quickly forgot him
And carried on with my work
By the end of the work day
I was content amd ready to go home
Before I got into my car
I saw the man again
The one from the office
Who I couldn't quite place
He motioned me
So I walked over to him
He then took me down an alley
I only now realized existed
He began asking me questions
Like what my name was
And where I lived
I replyed to these questions with ease
He looked about
Both ways down the alley
Making sure no one was listening
Or watching from afar
Then he asked me some more questions
Like who my family was
Or where I grew up
These I could not answer so easily
After a time he motioned to me again
And we walked out of the alley
Onto a street
Where he stopped and looked to me
He pointed down the road
And told me to walk
Not wanting any trouble
I complied with him
I walked for a few minutes
Until I saw a figure in the distance
As I approached I realized
It was the same man I had been talking to
Taken aback by the strange occurrence
I approached the man again
He clearly knew
What I had just experienced
As the sun had begun to set
He spoke more urgently
Telling me something wasn't right
Something was wrong with the world
He told me I had to fix it
But as he continued to speak
His words were drowned out
By the sun melting below the horizon
The last light of day
Crossed the darkening sky
And dipped the towering monoliths
In a grand solar radiance
And then I woke up
I couldn't quite remember yesterday
But the golden sunlight
Whisked away all my problems
