I was flying to Europe with B and a small child. Flying over Paris we could see a huge new airstrip being built in the middle of the city. It was built almost vertically in order to save space.

We flew close to the airstrip so that we could land and the woman sitting next to me gt sick seeing all of the people and trucks stand sideways on it near the top. The decorative top of the airstrip — six large diamonds — was not yet done.

The strip was shaped somewhat like a track: oval exterior runway with a body of water in its center. We landed pointing down towards the ground as other planes on the other side were taking off pointing towards the sky.

We got out of the plane and had to slide the remainder of the way to the ground through a green field on our butts. I pretended to mow the green grass with my hands. I was sad there were no flowers in the field.

In the near distance I could see another tall item above the surrounding buildings. It was grey and not close to finished. I wondered what it was going to be.

I walked through a ton of little shops looking for a bathroom. No one was talking, and when I asked someone a question their answer scrolled by the bottom of the screen in text, much like a video game. A kind person pointed me towards an unmarked door that led to a giant bathroom.

There were three rooms in the bathroom, each filled with men and women. The bathroom was unisex, but I didn’t care.

I then needed to find gas for my car so we could drive to England. I could see a gas station on my Gameboy map. I moved my character towards it, down corridors and around corners, killing any animals I touched.
