- Ordinarily, the building I am in sits atop a mesa, with mountains (well,
- foothills) rising behind it, and the rest of the city to the east.
- But today the mesa has cut its ties with the rest of the land, and is
- floating in a sea of fog and cloud. I can almost feel the motion,
- if I concentrate.
-
- I can't see the city. I can't see the mountains. My window looks out
- onto the traffic circle, and the tree plaza, and then an endless depthless
- nothingness. If I were to jump from the railing, I might fall forever
- through the whiteness.
