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

           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.                .
