           here on the  fifth  floor,  with  a view           
           over  the   parking  lot,  things  start

           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.
