           over  the  parking  lot,   things  start

            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
