           *a  red  cylinder,  wide  as  a  finger.           
                glossy freckled ceramics, with                
                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.
