A rainy platform. A woman waits beside a travel poster of a sunny bay.
She looks at the poster.
Its sea spills over the frame, down the wall and across the platform.
She steps into the pool. It is deeper than it looks.
She sinks to her waist.
She wades out of the poster's sea onto its beach, soaking wet: the only grey thing in the picture.
She swims in the bay.
She falls asleep in the sun under a striped umbrella.
She wakes and looks down: from the hem up, her grey coat is turning into the poster's stripes.
A trail of grey steam curls in over the edge of the poster: the train.
She swims for the edge of the picture.
She surfaces in the pool on the platform, gasping.
She hauls herself out onto the platform, dripping, her coat striped to the knee.
She steps up into the late train.
From the train window: the figures in the poster wave to her.
Sand pours from her boot onto the carriage floor. Her coat is still striped at the hem.
