The Finality of Arrival

     He can barely catch his breath seeing those eyes through the calm, jungle canopy, given the fact they belong to a creature who rules here. Cooper finds his footing on the hard jungle floor, enters further into the realm of strange forms. The path to the waterfall, the far reaches of the mountain, is lush with green, the type of extinction green grown(E.G.G.) artificial on theContinent; and arriving here he endures more than one sound of the night, of ghosts and those other things; the midnight corridors of RainForest IIe; and, below in the deep valley, lights from the lab station, a faint shimmer in the distant valley floor, where Carter sleeps, gun in hand, at the ready, where a beautiful young robiot, in nude flesh colors, appears to be in sleep mode (or communicates with some one or some thing), and where the observation deck stands guard, empty, looking out into the dark.

     He steps onto the banyan grove, moves with ease through the shadows, positions his body directly under the moon filled night. Here is Cooper's existence, now: a feeling of safety, not arriving yet, or presenting itself, but, hopes do, as messengers; maybe his next feeling would pass for it in a recognizable way. The grove feels the clean light from a glittering suspension of stars, cool blackness of the jungle, all drifting under a strange yearning, a wondering of what he wants, or should want. It is the feeling of hammering of hearts, the feeling of finality, yes, the finality arrival.
