Blue Dreaming
-
The speaker was still droning on about the graphs in her heavy accent. The girl leaned back in her chair and sighed discreetly, fingers twisting hair into knots. Her eyes wandered to the window, which was partly obscured by thick wooden brown blinds. In the gaps the blinds jumped, she could make out the table sitting on the balcony, accompanied by two forlorn chairs. And just beyond, the lazy glaucous ocean. The unceasing voice continued on but flattened out into monotone in the back of the girl’s mind as she watched the world beyond the window, and the atmosphere suddenly felt very quiet and still. She could only imagine the loudness of the wind just outside, but now as a lone yellow paraglider canopy floated into view and drifted across the scope of the window, she thought how nice it must feel to be suspended in a silent bubble of oneself, on the backdrop of a dull blue grey sky, while the wide wide ocean yawned below.
