If you think quicksand is dangerous, you've never been on
the second floor. You see, it was planned by a mad
architect, who was later killed in WW-I. In his will, he
sketched the floor plan and put a big X on it. The weird
part is that the X is really there. On the second floor.
People just passing by don't see it. You actually have to
stop in the west corridor, and pull back. Pull back, and up.
And it's there. It's fucking there.
My fascination with architecture is legendary (you may have
heard) but go beyond the fetish, and you'll see that my
motivation for telling you this is pure. I'm not saying that
you shouldn't walk the west corridor. I'm just saying: there
is danger there, there is madness. When you sink into it,
you don't fall to the first floor. No, you are sucked up,
and you find yourself in a trench. People are shooting,
bombs are falling. There's an X there, too. Pull back, and
up, and you will see it. Something for the tourists. |
