Where the Path Never Ends

<sub Effect by DeepArtEffects </sub

I find myself trapped on the endless, paved path. I can run until my chest burns, but the perspective never changes; the tiled distance is always just out of reach. The two prominent, dark ginkgo trees at the path’s edges seem to shift slightly closer whenever my gaze darts away.

Panic rises as the familiar park of that day begins to distort. The surrounding grass and bushes dissolve into a black, viscous pool. The urban structure on the right detaches from its foundation and leans precariously, casting an immense, cold shadow over everything. Silence fills the air.

As the dream continues, I become conscious of other silent observers. What was a blurred hint of movement in the distant background of trees is now a mass of featureless figures. They do not approach or retreat, their presence merely magnifying the chilling realization that there is no escape.
