cold and dark. cold and i
shiver,
dark and i can't see. anything. i'm in a
cylindrical room. i can't tell by seeing or touching -- i know this by
instinct. i can somehow
feel, with my mind, the roundness of the room. to my hand, the wall feels
flat, but that is only because the room is
huge.
there is something, in the middle, revolving. and it extends all the way to the
wall. it is like being stuck in a huge
revolving door.
it's not moving fast. i can easily stay ahead of it at a fairly slow walk. but i know that i am stuck in this round room and that i cannot
walk forever, not even at such a slow
pace.
this slowly revolving wall is suddenly the most horrifyingly
awful thing i have ever encountered. at some point i will have to stop walking and i will be crushed into jam by the wall. it seems so
inoccuous, moving so slow, but then the overall
implication becomes clear. it is
death.
walk, or just lie down?
