The desert is a vast sea of wave-like dunes with a large expanse of central flat space. The cube is about 25 yards to the north and is about 5 feet off the ground. It is made of some unknown/alien ceramic. it is about 12"x12"x12". The ladder lies about 70 yards to the northeast of the cube. It is about 12 feet long and appears to be providing a path up a tall dune. The ladder is made of antiquated wood it has proven it can stand the test of time and erosion from the sand, it is a dense wood. The horse is a grand brown stallion galloping at full speed east to west between the cube and the ladder. It looks as if its soul purpose was to be there doing exactly that. It is content. The flowers are far off. maybe 200-300 yards beyond the ladder. They are on a grassy savanna that blends seamlessly with the desert, but they are distinctly beyond the desert. The storm is a sandstorm of great force. It is immense and as it passes through makes contact with the ladder and the cube. The cube is unaffected, maybe even untouched by the writhing sands. The horse is long gone by now but will be back, this is it's favorite place to run. The ladder has already proven itself against time and the sand and has seen may storms like this before it takes the whip of the sand like an old friend.

Wow is this interesting. I find this extremely applicable to myself. If the cube represents me then i have a guarded mind, and my ego is not tiny but not too large either. I am not at all rooted to the earth but i'm not all the way in the sky. This is pretty accurate. The ladder i find even more interesting. My friends have always been there since i could remember and they haven't changed much at all. As most people change friends several times throughout their school life mine have remained almost the same. Currently i feel more distant from my friends than ever. It's almost saddening to me how I've slipped to the edge of the group and they don't seem to mind. Yet they're still there and still my friends nonetheless. I am currently not interested in looking for my significant other but am confident that eventually I will find her/(him?). So the horse and the cube have no interaction but are both right there where they belong in close proximity to each other.I haven't thought about my long term future in the way of children or marriage and the flowers are in another landscape, another segment of my life. I am living in the moment. If the storm represents emotional trauma then that would make sense. I lock down my emotions almost all of the time. The ladder expects nothing new. My friends and I have been through our share of feuds and tough times, but here we are still.


I'd also like to add that i usually immediately condemn these things as pure bullshit but today browsing the oddworld forums of all places I said "hey why not give it a shot"
