           corrupted before  your eyes - turning to           
           ash,  but there's no flame. you hold  it

            collapsing a cardboard box. dimensions            
              becoming flat and adjacent. pressed

           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
