The roar of the train's wheels and the violent rocking of the train car
jarred him from "dreamland" and into late evening.
"Ugh. I am still on this freight train. Damn, its dark out, I wonder what state is this? Its probably Louisiana by now. I still cannot believe that I'm doing this. Going across the country and then across the Atlantic to Japan, based on something Richard speculated on two years ago. Although I can remember everything he said word for word..."
"...I think the final shipment of Miracle Grow went somewhere in the Far East, Japan I think," Richard answered.
"So basically you are telling me that you created me?" Terry asked.
"I guess you could say that I had a part to play in your creation."
"Am I an accident then, since what happened to me wasn't supposed to happen?"
"No, your becoming sentient and human in form were not meant to happen, but if it hadn't you may have ended up dead in the dump. Just think of what happened to you as fate looking out for you and giving you another chance to live and do something special."
"I guess you're Richard, I should accept what happened and enjoy life."
"I guess I'll find out more about Miracle Green soon enough."
Terry curled up into a more comfortable position and tried to use the Japanese-English dictionary he had been studying lately as a pillow. Within moments the monotonous roar and sway of the rain that pulled him from sleep lulled him back into it.
