They were closer than the outer ring, which kept a uniform girth around the prairie, but somehow they looked very peculiar and foreboding, and I got one of those sobering feelings which I like to call predestined deja vu. THEY WERE CLOSER THAN THE OUTER RING WHICH KEPT A UNIFORM GIRTH AROUND THE PRAIRIE BUT SOMEHOW THEY LOOKED VERY PECULIAR AND FOREBODING AND I GOT ONE OF THOSE SOBERING FEELINGS WHICH I LIKE TO CALL PREDESTINED DEJAHU
st stages of sleep that I began to feel the warm morning sun strike my face, and hear the pleasant chirping of birds and crickets. I rolled slowly over, stretched my legs and my back, and stood up, with the last remnants of a dream playing quietly in my mind. But as I came to my feet and got a clear view of where I was, I realized it was not a dream that I had had at all, but something far more sobering. I found myself somewhere in the center of a very large prairie which covered the land for many miles around. From the sun's lowly position on the eastern horizon, it was evident to me that the new day was just dawning, casting a golden hue on the grasses that covered the prairie's surface. Around the distant outskirts of the plain I could make out a ring of trees circumventing the whole, waving almost imperceptibly to and fro in the light breeze that was blowing. A few miles to the southwest there was a group of odd looking trees stretching up over the horizon to a considerable height. IT WAS IN THE LAST STAGES OF SLEEP THAT I BEGAN TO FEEL THE WARM MORNING SUN STROKE MY FACE AND HEAR THE PLEASANT CHIRPING OF BIRDS AND CRICKETS I ROLLED SLOWLY OVER STRETCHED MY LEGS AND MY BACK AND STOOD UP WITH THE LAST REMNANTS OF A DREAM PLAYING QUIETLY IN MY MIND BUT AS I CAME TO MY FEET AND GOT A CLEAR VIEW OF WHERE I WAS I REALIZED IT WAS NOT A DREAM THAT I HAD HAD AT ALL BUT SOMETHING FAR MORE SOBERING I FOUND MYSELF SOMEWHERE IN THE CENTRE OF A VERY LARGE PRAIRIE WHICH COVERED THE LAND FOR MANY MILES AROUND FROM THE SUN'S LOWLY POSITION ON THE EASTERN HORIZON IT WAS EVIDENT TO ME THAT THE NEW DAY WAS JUST DAWNING CASTING A GOLDEN HUE ON THE GRASSES THAT COVERED THE PRAIRIE'S SURFACE AROUND THE DISTANT OUTSKIRTS OF THE PLAIN I COULD MAKE OUT A RING OF TREES CIRCUMVENTING THE WHOLE WAVING ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLY TO AND FRO IN THE LIGHT BREEZE THAT WAS BLOWING A FEW MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST THERE WAS A GROUP OF ODD LOOKING TREES STRETCHING UP OVER THE HORIZON TO A CONSIDERABLE HEIGHT
