Getaway vs Gateway

Dear Maisara,
He was lucky to have gotten a short getaway that would take his mind away from the forlorn thoughts. A hectic place that is gearing towards a fantastic weekend of speed. Familiar pressure cooker atmosphere where he seemed to have been excelling and thriving.
As he stepped out of the plane in the wee hours, instead of going to the hotel for a short rest, he went straight to the place of action. The area seemed oblivious to the time. Blast of striking spotlights everywhere turning the place into a forever daylight, except for the occasional scanning of the sky where glimpses of crescent moon and the stars peeking behind scattered clouds.
He was entrusted the stretch few metres away after the checkered flag post. One of the 17 spots identified as visible to worldwide audiences come Sunday. A short introduction to the small and weary team leaders and a brief of the task that's required, they were off to a small coffee table. The omnipresent brew filling the air, he laid out his sketches over the existing blue-prints.
Immediately the team sort of knew what was needed. True enough, a picture contains thousands of words.
For the next 2 days, he will take his mind off the painful of life, and live in reality of dreams. The only thing that will surely effect him is the purportedly hotel he will have to rest in - The Grand Roxy. He can't avoid it.
Yours sincerely
