The Train

The trees disappear past you
You push forward
Blindly.
Why see what lays ahead
The path is smooth in front.
Predictable. Planned.
The train hurtles on.
Not stopping.
Never stopping.

You are but a ghost 
Of the person who boarded the train.
Mere traces of the original
Passenger.
The destination now leaves
A stale taste in your mouth.
But still the train hurtles on.
Not stopping.
Never stopping.

The train has always been there.
There was never another plan
Other than the trains' master schedule.
Leaving is frightening.
The train is predictable.
The planned is familiar.
There is no tacks into the unknown.
The train still hurtles on.
Not stopping.
Never stopping.

The only stop is the end of the line.
The end of time.
Not stopping.
Never stopping.
But the train still hurtles on.
And on.
And on.

If...

If you won the lottery what would you do with the money?

You have suddenly come in to several millions of dollars. How would you use the money?
Would you donate the money to your favourite charity?
Would you travel around the world?
Would you buy a fancy new house and car and clothing?
What about your career?

Would you continue with the career you are currently involved in?
Would you use the money to help further purse this career?
Would you change your career entirely or "retire"?'

If you won the lottery, how much would it change your life.

I'm honestly very curious about this. Please discuss in comments?
