Apparently, the sands of time have become a magic carpet for our camels of the future. But why are they flying backwards?
A surreal vision is taking shape from the distorted horizon of our daily reality. Camels, those eternal carriers of dunes and dreams, seem to have developed an unsuspected facet of their aphoristic personality: they are flying backwards, in a way that is entirely devoid of logic. A prodigy as disconcerting as it is fascinating, it upsets our understanding of the world.
According to the observation of amazed Sunday walkers, these majestic creatures, once chained to the ground, are now rising into the sky by unfolding invisible wings. And as if to mock the notion of progression, their flight is conducted backwards. “It’s as if the camels are trying to decipher the past by flying against their own future,” explains Prof. Flimmerbop, a self-proclaimed expert in supernatural phenomena.
The effects of this indefinable spectacle, which is as much an artistic performance as it is a probable cosmic manifestation, are multiple. The sky, once the monopoly of birds and planes, has become a perpetually evolving canvas where camels draw fantastic arabesques. The earth, for its part, is covered with traces of aerial hooves, like so many graffiti left by these new sky artists.
“Even Dali, with all his recognized eccentricity, could not have imagined such a spectacle,” says a passer-by, his eyes still lost in the traces left by the strange birds. “It’s as if the rules of reality evaporated with the grains of sand carried off by the winds of the absurd.”
As the trend of backwards flying camels seems to be gaining momentum, we are left to wonder whether this phenomenon is a new stage in the evolution of these creatures or simply a beautiful escape into the absurd. Either way, the only certainty we have is that our conceptions of life have been shaken – and that we will not fail to keep an eye in the rearview mirror to see the camels fly.
