                something organic inside, being               
  ,        corrupted before your eyes  - turning to           
           ash, but  there's no  flame. you hold it           
           up  to  your  nose, suck  it in  with  a           
           sharp  inhale.  exit  to  the   balcony.           
                                                              
           here on  the  fifth floor, with  a  view           
           over  the  parking  lot,  things   start           
                 folding into each other, like                
      .     collapsing a cardboard box. dimensions            
             becoming flat and adjacent. pressed              
           into each  other. creases are  flattened   ,       
           out,  distances disappear, the world  is           
           mangled  down  to  two  dimensions.  and     ¨     
      .    suddenly  light  falls  on  the  edge of           
           everything rather than the  surface:  it           
                   all goes completely dark.
