The Train by George Anastasiadis (Original Drawing)

This is my train. There is plenty of light inside it.
Don’t be fooled by the black of the charcoal.
There is abundant Light everywhere.
The wagons have become houses and the locomotive drags entire cities behind it.
The windows are wide open. Someone’s laughing loud. There’s a party going on inside.
Look at these faces. They seem expressionless by empty eyes. They stare at us as they expect something from us. They have a look making mortals to hide.
Straight ahead there is a bush and bright flames, like another current reed. This symbol of the light… the symbol of the energy. This is a no joke to make such a trips. Such journeys require unimaginable amounts of energy.

The train is running at breakneck SPEED. It enters the bend like passing into another world, like piercing the belly of a reptile. Typhon, I dare to say, was the beast’s name that God Apollo killed in that valley.
Apollo… the God of youth… of Light… Rumors… Myth…One can say loud the world mumblings in secret.
The beast simply sleeps but now and then wakes up when it is hungry to devour entire generations.
The beast thinks that it wins, but it is bitterly and eternally mistaken.

Even that belly of his is bright! Don’t be afraid of the red color! It is not what your fearful thoughts are likely to bring! Maybe it’s just a tiny, bright sun opening up and spreading its own, warm light. It is not cold, nor dark, the last station of the train. It is “red” as a symbol of a long forgotten, good dream…
The lamppost and the signage went outside the 2D frame like being symbols of a new Universe, outside our own “home” and space. Time lamp shows random indications because there is simply NO Time there, the rain goes. Only the red headlight works steadily… But it’s placed out of the frame…

If you see the reflection of the red light on the work, you may notice something like a formed human figure raising up his arms as to signal the train to stop… but this figure is also out of frame… “Random” came out to me… “Random”… Nothing is random!
