    .          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.
