               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.
